The Office for the Advancement of Teaching & Learning, a unit within the Office of the Provost, in the Division of Academic Affairs is looking forward to hosting its third annual Innovative Education Conference (IEC), which will be held on April 1, 2026.
Our theme for 2026 is “Flourishing Together:
Teaching & Learning in Higher Education Today”.
We will accept proposals through Thursday, December 18, 2026 via the form below.

This year, ATL is supporting five conference tracks:
- Academic Leadership Practices that Foster a Flourishing Environment for Faculty
- Lessons Learned Using AI and Other Technologies To Enhance Teaching & Learning
- Supporting Inclusive & Accessible Teaching and Learning
- Amplifying evidence-based teaching through assessment and/or the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in course or program
- Supporting faculty vitality and well-being
Submissions will be accepted in four formats:
Presentation (50 minutes)
The presenter(s) will have 40-45 minutes to share their information with the audience. In the time remaining, the audience may ask questions and a facilitated discussion may occur.
Roundtable/Panel (50 minutes)
Roundtables are oral presentations and/or discussions with the audience/attendees about a chosen topic. Roundtable presenters should be prepared with targeted questions to post to those in attendance in order to develop a rich discussion and create a co-learning experience. Roundtables are an ideal format for networking around a topic and developing in-depth discussion on a subject.
Poster Session
Posters provide an opportunity for select presenter(s) to demonstrate their work. Presenters will share their poster information in a designated virtual room. Please be aware that attendees could enter designated virtual space at any time.
