ITI Affiliate Session - New Age Teaching: The Person Behind the Mask
Chair: Jason Swift, University of West Georgia jason.a.swift@gmail.com

This panel is organized by Integrative Teaching International (ITI) to gather participants in an exploratory platform for collaborative investigation and discussion of the impact of the current academic climate and move to online classes. Modeled after the breakout sessions of ITI’s ThinkCatalyst and ThinkTank events, we seek panelists who will briefly (approximately 5 minutes) introduce a question or concern relevant to current trends and tensions of teaching online studio art versus face to face to be workshopped collaboratively by panel attendees. Panelists will act as facilitators to work with attendees gathered in groups to generate ideas, content and approaches culminating in brief group presentations of subjects explored. The session chair will document these discussions and distribute the results (both theoretical and applied) following the conference. Interested panelists should send a brief description of the topic they would like to present and then have discussed. Relevant topics might include retaining the values of face to face teaching online and maintaining our humanity in non-human platforms, but we encourage proposals exploring other timely topics. Please also indicate your experience or interest in your proposed topic.

Creative Crossover: Using Art to Teach Other Disciplines
Chair: Nina Bellisio, St. Thomas Aquinas College nbellisi@stac.edu

Design thinking, creative problem solving, human-centered design- the skills taught in an art or design classroom can have wider applications when presented in collaboration with other subject areas. STEAM is already common currency, but can you use art to teach economics? biology? psychology? In this session we will explore interdisciplinary projects that bring art students together with colleagues in other majors to support creative learning across all areas of curriculum.
