Incubator sessions generate ideas for educational innovation at UW-Madison - Stacy Forster, UW-Madison
Offering winter interim classes, fostering degree completion, and using video and interactive technology to improve student learning experiences are among the suggestions for achieving educational innovation at UW-Madison. Participants brainstorm ideas during an Educational Innovation incubator session held at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery. These ideas were among those shared at the initial incubator sessions for the campuswide Educational Innovation campaign, aimed at enhancing student learning while improving the university’s capacity and finding new revenue sources. UW-Madison faculty and staff are bringing ideas to the incubator sessions to launch the conversation about how the university can take advantage of new ways to support education and excellence on campus.
