esearch has shown that student engagement is an important predictor of academic success. We know that students learn more and are better able to apply what they learn when they regularly participate in active and collaborative learning experiences. We also know that technology, when used appropriately, can play a pivotal role in transforming lecture-centric instruction to a more student-centered model with opportunities for critical thinking, self-reflection and evaluation, collaborative research and problem solving, experiential learning, and other activities that foster the development of higher-order cognitive skills.

This year's All Partner's Conference will examine current and emerging technology tools and associated practices that have the potential to increase student engagement and improve learning outcomes. Come spend the day with us to learn more about how and why these tools are making a difference at Indiana colleges and universities.

When? Friday, April 15, 2005, 8am-4:15pm.

Where? Schwitzer Student Center, University of Indianapolis, Indianapolis, Indiana
