About TLISI

Hosted by the Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship at Georgetown University, the Teaching, Learning & Innovation Summer Institute (TLISI) offers faculty, staff, and graduate student instructors from all Georgetown campuses the opportunity to explore strategies for excellence in teaching and learning.

Since 1994, the event’s goal each year is to continue to prepare our community to be responsive to the ever changing demands of teaching and learning and meet the needs of all learners, ultimately deepening our shared commitment to academic excellence. 

TLISI 2025 will include sessions on teaching and learning with AI, promoting inquiry and discourse, and other topics on teaching excellence. Stay tuned for more information including speaker announcements, full program, and registration details.

We are once again offering the opportunity to make progress on a specific project as part of a team during Productive Open Design Spaces (PODS). By providing time, space and resources, PODS gives faculty the inspiration and skills needed to bring their project forward.

“It’s really the state-of-the-art conference of its kind, and an invaluable resource for all of Georgetown.”
