2005 Annual Conference
Tampa, FL

Learning Reconsidered, published by NASPA and ACPA in March 2004, presents a vision of learning that fully engages students in the learning process using all of the resources on campus to help them learn in meaningful, transformative ways. This approach provides many opportunities thorough which collaborative programs can be structured to enhance student learning and integrate student development learning goals into campus planning and priorities. This workshop was delivered by Dr. Richard Keeling at NASPA's 2005 Annual Conference where an executive summary of learning theory was followed by practical tools for program design, implementation and assessment. Participants mapped campus resources, learning sites and collaborative opportunities and structures so that an integrated approach to student learning could be initiated. Participants also learned how to develop collaborative relationships with faculty colleagues using language that integrates the work of student affairs with the work of faculty members around helping students learn in all domains of their lives. This workshop exposed participants to the language, processes, techniques and organizational support systems necessary to bring life to this new approach to teaching and learning. This was the second of a double session program.

Chicago, IL

In his keynote address for AAC&U's conference, Pedagogies of Engagement, Dr. Keeling argues for a comprehensive, campus-wide approach to providing transformative liberal education for all students. Focusing on changes in our understanding of the dynamics and determinants of learning, he encourages all campus educators to approach students as whole people whose learning occurs in multiple contexts, formats, and methods. His message is both pedagogical and political; he emphasizes the change in our relationship with students that is necessarily at the heart of reform in higher education.
