Fourth Annual ITL Conference Learning at the University of Maryland takes place in many locations and within the context of a variety of forums. Instructors are challenged on a daily basis to find innovative ways of enhancing student learning experiences. In traditional classrooms, distance, collaborative or independent learning environments, students and faculty explore a variety of techniques and tools meant to improve the overall academic experience. The Innovations in Teaching and Learning (ITL) Conference showcases and celebrates the creativity and dedication of University instructors who have demonstrated excellence in their teaching endeavors.
