Reflecting and implementing what you have learned from informal (such as the Informal Early Feedback - IEF) and formal (such as ICES) student feedback is a valuable process. we will share how to maximize gathering and analyzing the formal and informal student feedback. (And come back to CITL for consultation!)

Most teachers get evaluated by their students at the end of the course by implementing ICES. But by then, it is too late to make changes that will make a difference for your current students. Come to this workshop to learn how to design, implement, and interpret Informal Early Feedback (IEF) to improve the class experience for everyone.

Learning is not a spectator sport. Students must be cognitively, physically, and affectively engaged for deeper learning and retention to occur.

How do we manage the amount of content that we should teach while providing opportunities for our students to be actively engaged?

The rapid spread of misinformation during the COVID-19 pandemic has increased calls for news literacy to help reduce endorsement of misinformation, conspiracy theories, and other falsehoods.
