Modern circumstances put a great emphasis on tackling issues around how teaching and learning happen. This July, for the fifteenth consecutive year, Learning Design Summer Camp (LDSC) will bring together the Penn State community to work on those issues.
In 2020, LDSC is scheduled for two half-day virtual format sessions on July 20 and 21. As in years past, the camp will be an informal, University-wide effort to explore innovative and creative ways to improve teaching and learning at Penn State. Registration for LDSC is free, open now, and will be available until July 14.
The University’s learning design community, including instructional designers, instructional production specialists, librarians, educational technologists, educational web and multimedia developers, and faculty, are cordially invited to register for this year’s online version of LDSC.
LDSC 2020 is a community partnership across the University including Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT), John A. Dutton e-Education Institute, Smeal College of Business e-Learning Design Innovation Group (eLDIG), Center for Teaching Excellence at Penn State Harrisburg, World Campus Learning Design, College of Agricultural Science’s Digital Education group, College of Arts and Architecture’s Office of Digital Learning, College of IST Learning Design, Office of the Vice President for Commonwealth Campuses, and University Libraries.

Instructional designers, educational technologists, instructional production specialists, librarians, educational web and multimedia developers, and faculty across Penn State are invited to sign up for the 2019 Learning Design Summer Camp (LDSC).
Registration for the free annual event is open now, and this year’s edition of LDSC is scheduled for July 23 in Chambers Building on the University Park campus. Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) will host the camp in partnership with Business eLearning Design and Innovation Group, Center for Teaching Excellence at Harrisburg Campus, College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) Office of Learning Design, Information Technology Learning and Development (ITLD), John A. Dutton e-Education Institute, Department of Statistics, University Libraries, and World Campus Learning Design.
The theme for this year’s LDSC is “Back to the Future: Looking back, moving forward” and it will help focus discussions on what Penn State’s learning design community has done, current efforts, and what will be done in the future. The camp is informal and community-based by design in order to encourage the sharing of information and ideas about how to reshape the way learning happens at the University.

More than a decade ago, it was commonplace for an educator to ask students to read and memorize important course materials, and at the end of the semester, administer an exam to assess the retention of that knowledge. But how much did students actually remember after they left the classroom?
Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) collaborates with faculty to rethink the way courses are taught and explore how new technologies can be adapted to advance student learning.
Come for the fun games and prizes; stay for the informative discussions with faculty who have engaged in teaching and learning research. The Teaching and Learning with Technology Research Carnival will be held on June 19, 2019 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at The Dreamery, on the ground floor of the Shields Building.
This informal event will focus on answering questions from how to generate researchable questions to how innovative technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and data science can impact students’ learning experiences.
Participating carnival partners include: The Institutional Review Board (IRB), Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence, Liberal Arts Teaching Group, Center for Excellence in Science Education, TLT Emerging Technologies Group, TLT Data-Empowered Learning Team, TLT Faculty Programs Team, University Libraries, and the Office of Information Security.
Attendance is free to all Penn State faculty and staff. Register for the 2019 Research Carnival today!
