Event Format
💬 Learning Circles: Learning Circles are designed for small group discussion of specialized topics, with the presenter leading the discussion. Several roundtable discussions will happen concurrently in a large open room, where presenters will lead three 20-minute sessions, so participants can visit up to three tables during the hour.
💡 Breakout Sessions: Breakout Sessions are 45-minute sessions designed to allow presenters and facilitators to share information regarding successful educational practices, innovative uses of educational technology, or noteworthy programs and initiatives.
🎉 Showcase Festival: The Showcase Festival features various resources, services, and contacts for faculty across the university while giving attendees an opportunity to network and connect. Members of the UM community will be on hand at designated tables to speak with Faculty Showcase attendees about their respective campus resources, as well as present a five-minute overview from the festival stage.
