Are you tired of the lecture-lecture-test format? Do you ever ponder if tests really paint a full picture of your students’ learning? Do your tests give all your students an opportunity to showcase their learning? Shifting assessment to an online format presents an opportunity to consider the best way to check your students’ progress towards course goals. This session will review alternative online assessment formats as well as ideas for “authentic” assessment. Suggestions and tools to support academic integrity will be discussed as well.

Instructors have access to thousands of free and open textbooks and modules that may legally be edited and adapted to suit the needs of your students and your course. But how can you do this editing without a tedious process of copy-and-paste? How do you know what you are allowed to reuse? Facilitated by experts from the Libraries and CTE, this workshop will offer an overview of copyright and licensing when adapting course materials, as well as a how-to on using the PressBooks digital publishing platform to more easily import and edit materials instead of starting from scratch.

Learning is a social experience — it requires interactions and interactivity. The coronavirus pandemic has been a good opportunity to rethink approaches to teaching. Moving some tasks to an online format suggests that many activities that have traditionally been synchronous and instructor-paced, can be made asynchronous and self-paced.
Through Perusall, we will demonstrate how to move information transfer and sense-making online and make it interactive, promoting social interactions between students. In addition, we will discuss how the platform promotes intrinsic and extrinsic motivation to improve student performance.

In this two-part workshop, participants will explore the relationships between mental and emotional health, the human body, and learning. Through a combination of asynchronous modules and synchronous workshop and discussion sessions, participants will frame the literature of mental health and bodily awareness in the classroom with their lived experience and leave with concrete methods of incorporating new insights into their own practice, with a particular focus on creating learning objectives and designing assessments that consider and support the whole student. These novel approaches will help students and teachers to experience more positive, rewarding, and healthy class spaces, and to support each other in working toward this vision.
This event is hosted by the Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) and is designed for graduate students and faculty mentors.

Are you thinking about taking on a Teaching-as-Research (TAR) project? Join us to hear from a panel of CIRTL alumni who will share their experience doing a TAR project – not the research they conducted, but what they learned from the process and how they leveraged their TAR project in their career. Alumni from University of Pennsylvania, Lafayette College, Emmanuel College, and Stanford University will reflect on the ups and downs of the TAR process, discuss how the experience impacted their career and instructional approach, and answer questions from the audience.

Conflict is part of our daily lives and can undermine our success unless we get better at using it effectively. As surprising as this might sound, we want conflict in the workplace; but it has to be the right kind of conflict. In this class you will learn how to build your conflict competence/fitness to transform conflict and use it to our shared advantage for better decision-making, problem-solving and relationship-building in the workplace.

Event Details
Academies have openly acknowledged the importance of role models, but very little effort has been directed to address the negative psychological sequelae underrepresented individuals report and the effect that ongoing microaggressions have on their careers. Microaggressions are subtle (often implicit), patterned exchanges, looks, or gestures that devalue race or gender.
Because microaggressions can pass as acceptable questions and lines of inquiry between individuals, it is often difficult to identify them. The purpose of this session is to provide participants with hands-on micro-resistance training that can empower bystanders to address microaggressions in the workplace.

In this introductory workshop you will explore the Learning Assistance Alliance (LAA) model and how it is being applied in a few STEM departments to good effect. Learning Assistants (LAs) are trained in pedagogy and prepare for practice in the STEM classrooms in courses that they have already completed. They serve as near-peer role models and provide helpful feedback to both the students and the instructor in a course. We will explore various ways LAs are working in these courses and the resources available for starting such a program.

Event Details
The Center for Instructional Technology & Training (CITT) will be offering its popular Course Mapping Camp online with three separate offerings in 2021 (April 22-23, August 12-13, or December 9-10). This hands-on, two-day workshop is designed to help instructors build a pedagogically sound blueprint for any course.
Led by experienced instructional designers, Course Mapping Camp begins with student learning outcomes, moving from course goals to the development of specific and measurable learning objectives. Next, instructors design student learning experiences and identify assessments, learning materials, and activities that support defined learning outcomes. Throughout the course design process, camp instructors will provide guidance and feedback to ensure alignment between goals, objectives, and assessments and discuss tailored approaches to scaffold student learning.
Visit our Course Mapping Camp information page for more details and to register for this two-day workshop via myTraining. Please note that this workshop will be held online via Zoom (meetings at 9:00-10:30 and 2:00-3:00 each day). The workshop facilitators will email details about the schedule/attendance prior to the workshop start date.
