The 2023 Plater Institute on the Future of Learning will focus on High-Impact Teaching and Learning. The institute will highlight successful implementation of high-impact practices across IUPUI and provide opportunities to share how these practices can be adapted throughout the campus community and beyond.
In the 2022 IUPUI Entering Student Survey, 3 of the top 10 reasons for attending IUPUI were aspects of engaged learning:
1. Availability of financial aid/scholarship
2. Academic quality
3. Availability of specific academic programs (majors)
4. Graduates get good jobs
5. Affordability
6. Focus on hands-on experiential learning (e.g., internships, service learning, and research projects)
7. Job, career, and internship opportunities available in Indianapolis while attending school.
8. Career and job opportunities available in Indianapolis while attending school
9. Welcoming campus
10. Opportunity for an IU or Purdue degree
This year’s theme is intended to celebrate the great work already underway in high-impact practices and encourage the expansion of engaged learning at IUPUI.
The institute is sponsored by the Institute for Engaged Learning, Center for Teaching and Learning, and the Office of International Affairs.
