Center for Faculty Development & Nexus Learning

The Center for Faculty Development and Nexus Learning (CFDNL) is excited to provide faculty across Thomas Jefferson University with the opportunity to re-design learning experiences, develop innovative curricula, explore new areas of applied research on pedagogy, and advance the core tenets of Nexus Learning.

Nexus Learning optimizes occasions for learners to actively participate in their learning, apply knowledge and skills, collaborate with others, and connect their learning experiences to the real world and to their future professions.

Nexus Learning is integrative.  Nexus Learning prizes imagination and supports reflection on learning experiences to build on past experiences and to create connections to the future.  It is marked by integration of knowledge across disciplines, as well as within and outside the learning environment – wherever learning happens: the classroom, the clinical workplace, the laboratory, the studio, the virtual classroom, or elsewhere. These learning environments should support a culture of innovation, exploration, synthesis, and discovery.
