Join the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning on August 23rd at 11 AM for our next workshop on Cognitive Load. Cognitive load relates to the amount of information that working memory can hold at one time. Instruction methods should avoid overwhelming students’ mental capacities and focus more on retention practices. In this session, we will discuss memory, retrieval, and overload. Register below and contact the CITL with any questions at citl@tntech.edu.

Great Move-In – Student Organization Volunteer Registration
Move-In, Week of Welcome, and the start of the fall semester are only a few short weeks away! To facilitate a spirited welcome and smooth move-in process, we are inviting student organizations, athletic teams, departments, and others to assist residents on August 11-14. Volunteering during Move-In is a great way to help residents get settled quickly and happily while also increasing your organization’s campus presence.
Use the Great Move-In Sign-Up to register your organization. Please be thoughtful about the number of slots that you are signing up for – it would be better for us to have too many volunteers than to have less than expected.
If you have any questions, please contact Ben Stubbs at bstubbs@tntech.edu.
