earlier this week, i blogged about one of the two public events the cft hosted as part of our 25th anniversary celebration, a keynote on deep learning by cft founding director ken bain<\/a>.\u00a0 our other big anniversary event last week was a symposium on the future of teaching and learning.\u00a0 the symposium, held friday from 9 to 1 at the commons center, provided faculty, students, and staff from all around vanderbilt the chance to engage in a discussion about teaching that was both global and forward-looking<\/strong> in nature. participation at the symposium was fantastic, with very engaged participants from all four undergraduate colleges, as well as the schools of nursing and medicine, the commons, and the dean of students office.<\/p>\n

the symposium’s opening session featured remarks by three faculty panelists on the themes we had selected for the day: changing technologies, the university’s social responsibilities, and economic challenges.<\/p>\n
