This year (2011–12) has been named the Year of the Wisconsin Idea, celebrating the principle that the University should improve people’s lives beyond the classroom. Faculty and instructors at UW–Madison are experimenting with a variety of approaches that bring UW expertise and Wisconsin community into the classroom and that subsequently connect students to a broader community. This year's Teaching and Learning Symposium will focus on ways that the teaching and learning community at UW–Madison is extending its reach beyond the boundaries of the traditional classroom to reach all learners.

The annual Teaching and Learning Symposium provides an opportunity for all of us in the teaching and learning community to share best practices, celebrate accomplishments, and discuss new learning and teaching practices and theories in a forum dedicated to enriching the UW–Madison learning experience.
