This week we are hosting Dr. Ana Paula Correia at METU. I am particularly excited to host my advisor here at METU, to show her around, introduce her to our graduate students and faculty, as well? share some experiences on research and teaching. Her METU visit is hosted by the Social Sciences Institute with the university?s recent efforts on the new trends and approaches in graduate education. I believe Dr. Correia?s talk that will cover some aspects of Learning Design Solutions (an enterprise which we initiated together with other graduate students under her mentorship) and will generate some great conversation on this topic at METU. Hope to see you there.
Here is more information on the talk:
