This workshop will explore different techniques of active learning that may be useful to instructors in the classroom. Participants will be asked to consider their in-progress learning objectives and potential assessments (from Workshops 3 and 4) to suggest techniques that might support these course materials. The facilitators will discuss different active learning techniques and how they might scale up or down based on different class sizes with a view toward keeping a syllabus flexible.
The summer course design series will introduce you to the notion of backward course design, then use the backward design approach to guide you through the major steps of your course design. Originally created for graduate students about to teach their first full course, the series has proven useful to any instructor designing or redesigning a course, or even wanting to take a fresh look at an old course.
You don't need to attend every workshop in the series to benefit, but the more you attend, the more of a head start you'll have on your course design.* Applies for the following CITL Teaching Certificates
- Cheelan Bo-Linn Teaching Excellence Certificate
- Graduate Teacher Certificate
- Certificate in Foundations of Teaching
