The President’s Teaching and Learning Collaborative (PTLC) – the University of Colorado’s Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Program – hosted its latest poster session on Monday, drawing dozens to the CU Anschutz Medical Campus to share research findings across disciplines.
About 35 PTLC members attended the event, where 11 projects were shared over informal explanations and discussions.
Central to the PTLC’s work is creating and publishing scholarship in teaching and learning that contributes to theory and effective teaching practice in and across disciplines. Each faculty researcher designs and undertakes an investigation aimed at deepening understanding of disciplinary pedagogy and related to an important issue in learning.
Faculty researchers design, carry out, and publish research on a particular aspect of learning in a specific course . Each investigator is supported by a coach and short seminars in how to do education research. Faculty researchers receive funding of $1,550 for their research.

John Basey, CU-Boulder; an analysis of feedback and its influence on student learning in inquiry-oriented biology labs with multiple sections taught by TAs.
