Event Details

Event Overview

UF’s Special Collections contain thousands of books, archives, and artifacts from all over the world and all across time. They can add unique perspective to courses large and small, and in disciplines beyond the humanities. In this workshop, we will talk about how you can design visits and experiential learning activities into your semester courses. You’ll learn how to: 1. Work with a curator to select materials that fit your course theme and goals. 2. Design learning goals that are appropriate for the students experience level. 3. Build skills and curiosity with larger collaborative projects This session is particularly recommended for graduate students looking to build their teaching portfolios, and faculty planning QUEST courses. Curators will also be on hand to answer questions about holdings in attendees areas of interest, and to start brainstorming ideas with participants. Note: This session will take place in Smathers Library Room 100.
