Choose from more than 70 workshops or from nine new special Keynote Addresses. You may request a catalogue by contacting The Collaboration at collab@collab.org or (651) 646-6166. Traveling Workshops offer you a superior combination of expertise and convenience at cost-effective rates. We can provide your campus with half- or full-day workshops, a workshop series, a conference with multiple sessions, or even a keynote + workshop combination. Traveling Workshops can been customized to meet specific campus needs. Many institutions book workshops for fall and spring faculty development days; others use them to support institutional initiatives related to increasing the use of engaged learning methods, improving assessment practices, making better use of educational technology, developing greater capacity to serve the needs of new immigrant students, and strengthening the leadership skills of department chairs. We recruit the presenters, work with them to design session outlines and materials, talk with you about your needs, match our talent pool to your needs, and monitor results by designing customized evaluations and analyzing your participants’ feedback. We can customize the program to serve your needs, even combining it with our program consulting and evaluation services. For more information about the Traveling Workshops program, click here.
"Bridging the Generational
Divide: Working Together to Teach Millennial Students"
Generational differences are affecting the college teaching and learning environment as never before. Born since 1981, Millennial Students, also called the “Net Generation,” form the largest cohort since the Baby Boom, numbering more than 80 million and constituting more than 41% of the current population. They are predicted to enter colleges in record numbers in 2010. The goal of this conference, then, is to address the pressing need for educators to understand and address generational differences on campuses and to discover how faculty and staff are tackling the issues and challenges that arise between generations, both between faculty and students and among faculty themselves. Our goal is to find ways to continue to provide good work climates for all and quality teaching and learning across the curricula. “Bridging the Generational Divide: Working Together to Teach Millennial Students” will be held in November, 2009, at the Sheraton Bloomington Hotel, Bloomington, Minnesota.
