The ThinkTank is coming to the 2018 SOLA+R conference in DC! The eDC will have a specialized track that features the ThinkTank, but also has crossover into general sessions. For those who can’t make it in person, there will be a virtual ThinkTank option.
Partnering with Faculty in the Design Process: Approaches to Faculty Partnership (eDC ThinkTank Session)
Leaders from Georgetown University will kick-off our discussion on partnering with faculty. Experts will share the successful approaches they have used to meet faculty where they are, including individualized support, a cohort-based Design Studio, and a mixed/hybrid approach. Whether you are struggling with partnerships or have been very successful in working with faculty you won’t want to miss this opportunity to engage with your peers and learn about different models of faculty collaboration!
Why Georgetown: Georgetown CNDLS department is a unique teaching and learning center in that it embraces a model that partners active research and scholarship with course design and technology. Additionally, they have created their own Master of Arts in Learning and Design.

Lightning Round: Problems, Solutions, and Conversation (eDC ThinkTank Session)
Join us for one of our most popular sessions. We’ll spend some time hearing from members that have found new and innovative ways to address the challenges they have faced in the design process. We’ll ask questions, consider implications as well as other applications, and spend time exploring and having great dialogue on our work as learning designers and engineers.
Moderator: Shawndra Bowers, Auburn University
Working Session: eDesign Partnerships and Possibilities (eDC ThinkTank Session)
We’ve heard from experts on partnerships and witnessed the work our peers are doing via the Lightning Round Session - now it’s time to engage! This session provides eDesigners, Multimedia Experts, and Instructional Technologists the opportunity to digest what they’ve learned in earlier sessions and discuss their perspectives. This is a great opportunity to have in-depth discussions with peers after shared learning experiences. You’ll leave with new ideas and new friends/colleagues!
