Presentation at the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, Australia.

I gave this presentation at the University of Southern Queensland in Toowoomba, Australia on April 20, 2015 as part of the Salon Series. The presentation described how Purdue University supports teachers developing new classroom experiences through an educational initiative called Instruction Matters: Purdue Academic Course Transformation (IMPACT), which draws together expertise from areas of specialization throughout the campus to support course transformation. I discussed two beneficial aspects of Purdue’s approach to this work:

• The creation of productive partnerships between teachers, instructional designers, instructional technologists and librarians, whose separate skill sets combine to make a stronger course.
  
• The practice of leveraging information literacy as a support for innovative pedagogic approaches.
