New technologies and innovations in learning are being introduced at an accelerated rate around the globe. Navigating Innovations in Teaching and Learning will help you determine which trends to adopt and what fads to avoid.  Subthemes this year were selected to address some of the most fundamental issues in higher education today:

• Advancing Active Learning - What methods increase student engagement in the learning process?
• Teaching Well with Technology - Where can technology be integrated into the learning experience in a way that benefits the student and assists with the long-term retention of information?
• Creating a Community of Learners - How can we build relationships and interdependence among members of the learning community?
• Promoting Cultural Attunement - Moving beyond "tolerance" and "competency," how can we help learners to become more attuned to one another in a global society.
