Palmer has been responsive, and has revised her teaching strategies and course materials to suit the changing environment. During this process, she has challenged the technology available and has moved from lecturer to avatar and from teaching in a classroom to teaching a televised course to teaching in the online environment. </p> <p> Kay will share her teaching philosophy: she identifies the challenges to her students’ learning and then “designs a better mousetrap” [a better way to solve those students’ learning issues]. And she will help us learn to better understand our own students, in the process.</p> <p> For more information about the Provost’s Conversations on Teaching and Learning series, including highlights from past years’ Conversations and a calendar of upcoming Conversation dates, visit the Conversations’ website at <a href="http://clt.odu.edu/pctl">http://clt.odu.edu/pctl</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
