The Columbus State Faculty Idea Exchange (FIX) is an annual summer conference hosted by the CSCC Instructional Success Committee (ISC) that provides a forum where college educators from Central Ohio and beyond can share and compare best teaching practices.
College teachers from every institution are invited!
FIX 2024 is scheduled for June 7, 2024 from 8:30 am - 1:30 pm at the Columbus State Community College WD Conference Center.
We are excited to announce that this year’s keynote and plenary speaker is Dr. Todd Zakrajsek, a dynamic speaker and author of the successful book "Dynamic Lecturing", which advises faculty on how to create a motivating, creative and engaging classroom community. Dr. Zakrajsek currently directs five Lilly Conferences on College and University Teaching, and sits on two educationally related boards and several editorial boards for journals in the area of teaching and learning. He is an international speaker who is requested regularly for keynote presentations and campus workshops, having published and presented widely on the topic of effective teaching and student learning.
In addition to the featured speaker, breakout sessions focusing on student success and best teaching practices will be presented by faculty and other education experts from higher-ed institutions of Central Ohio (and beyond).
