Brain-Based Learning Workshop Series: We know you’re already juggling so much—but what if a few small shifts could make how you facilitate learning more effective, engaging, and even energizing? This workshop series is designed to help you save time, make the most of your resources, and bring fresh strategies into your work. From the neuroscience of learning to quick, evidence-based practices, we’ll explore ways to help learners engage during your sessions and retain information. Whether you're cross-training into a new role or refining your approach, this series will give you tools to work smarter, not harder. Join the Center for Teaching and Learning and People, Culture and Belonging to spark new ideas and enhance the way you support learners! Attend one session or all six!

Workshop 6: Beat Brain Boredom: How information is presented impacts how it’s processed, remembered, and applied. In this final session, participants will explore how the brain engages with words, images, color, and layout to enhance learning—not overwhelm it. Through practical discussions and examples, participants will learn to design visuals that support cognition, reinforce key ideas, make learning more effective, and are learner friendly.
