This year's theme is "Designs for Learning."

Albert Einstein said, “No problem can be solved by the same kind of thinking that created it,” so how can we rethink learning by design? The future of learning (and teaching) in higher education holds the prospect of incorporating innovative designs into our work and across modalities because design thinking intersects with learning, teaching, and technology. There are several prominent ways to think about design, including human-centered design, universal design, inclusive design, instructional design, and others; the key is that design thinking is important to empower a learner-centered environment in higher education. The 2023 FSI meeting has the theme of “Designs for Learning,” which emphasizes the importance of design thinking for learning objectives, learning assessments, and learning activities. We are seeking thematic proposals on these foundations of design, as well as general proposals on innovations in learning, teaching, and instructional technologies.
