Taking Critical Thinking Online:
Teaching Information Literacy and Quantitative Reasoning
(A Virtual Conference for Educators and Practitioners)
date
March 29, 2021 | 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
About the Conference
Quantitative learning and critical thinking are often bottlenecks for students' progress - switching to a virtual environment during the pandemic can add more stress to these courses. This online conference presents lessons learned from the switch to all online for information literacy, quantitative reasoning and use of open education resources. The presenters are faculty and practitioners at the University of Baltimore.
We aim to make this an annual conference and extend presentations to include faculty and practitioners at other universities in the University System of Maryland and elsewhere. Please connect with us about presenting on future panels.
