The Penn State Symposium for Teaching and Learning with Technology is both an annual event and a year-round online discussion of ways that faculty are using technology to enhance teaching, learning, and research.
Daniel Pink is the author of five provocative books about the changing world of work, including the long-running New York Times best seller A Whole New Mind, and the #1 New York Times best seller Drive. His books have been translated into 33 languages.
His latest book To Sell Is Human: The Surprising Truth About Moving Others offers a fresh look at the art and science of selling. As he does in A Whole New Mind and Drive, Pink draws on a rich trove of social science for his counterintuitive insights. Along the way, Pink describes the six successors to the elevator pitch, the three rules for understanding another’s perspective, the five frames that can make your message clearer and more persuasive, and much more. More details on his work can be found at http://symposium.tlt.psu.edu/keynotes/.

Brian Smith, Improving Student Learning and Retention with an Adaptive eLearning PlatformUsing actionable data and analytics can revolutionize the decision making process of both faculty and students and inform the learning process. When integrated into the learning framework, analytics can transform the ability to deliver on the promise of closing the achievement gap and improving results. Please join us for a considerate discussion to share best practices and learn about the new tools available to educators to make this transformation possible.
Across multiple software solutions and LMS integrations, McGraw-Hill will showcase a few examples of using data analytics that are integrated into learning software technologies at the course, program and institutional level for student retention, improved results, and overall institutional performance enhancement.
