About the Conference:
The 2015 Transformative Learning Conference challenges participants to demonstrate evidence-based classroom practices. Transformative learning, integrative learning, interdisciplinary learning, and holistic learning are prominent approaches in current college teaching and learning practice. Since 2009, The University of Central Oklahoma formalized a campus-wide transformative learning initiative in both curricular and co-curricular learning and has hosted conferences for several years. Past Transformative Learning Conferences have featured keynoters Vincent Tinto, Melissa Peet, and Dan Glisczinski!

He is a pioneer in “flipping” classrooms and is renowned as an educator of college faculty. Peer instruction and other strategies employed by Dr. Mazur are effective in prompting Transformative Learning, and we’re delighted he’ll be sharing ideas and strategies at the conference.
