UNT's University Forum on Teaching & Learning (UFTL) is a one-day annual event that enables faculty, graduate teaching fellows, and staff involved in supporting teaching and learning to share ideas and practices that focus on instructional strategies designed to motivate and engage learners, promote critical thinking skills, and better prepare students for life and work in the 21st century.

This year's guest speaker is Curtis J. Bonk, Ph.D., CPA, Professor of Instructional Systems Technology at Indiana University and author of the Handbook of Blended Learning: Global Perspectives, Local Designs (2006) and The World is Open: How Web Technology is Revolutionizing Education (2009). Dr. Bonk will deliver both the keynote address and a master class scheduled for the afternoon. In his keynote address "The Flat World has Swung Open: How Web Technology is Revolutionizing Education" Dr. Bonk will focus on ten technology trends that are "educational openers," opening possibilities for sharing course materials, resources, and teaching ideas.

Dr. Bonk's master class "Stretching the Edges of Technology-Enhanced Teaching: From Tinkering to Tottering to Totally Extreme Learning" was designed to showcase a variety of ways instructors can effectively blend technology into their instruction. Whether you simply want to dip your toes in the water or dive in, this workshop will have something for you!
