Pedagogy without Borders: New Frontiers of Teaching and Technology

This session describes a recent collaboration between the University of Glasgow and the University of Washington that explored and celebrated creative teaching practices. Inspired by the spirit of #AcWriMo, the project aimed to create a small community of educators passionate about reimagining the traditional classroom. We believed that by sharing personal stories, innovative classroom techniques, and creative approaches to teaching, we might both inspire and empower faculty to embrace risk-taking and classroom experimentation. That was the goal.

We worked through collaborative writing and reflection, and we had the opportunity to not only meet colleagues from another university, but to develop and share new pedagogical insights and strengthen our teaching practice. The resulting work took various forms, such as reflective essays, case studies, podcasts, videos, or interactive online tools.

This session shares how we got started, the structure of the collaboration, what we learned, and how we will improve it next year.  The aim is not only to describe our event, but to help others learn how they can offer a similar experience for their faculty and staff.
