Teaching, Learning and Assessment

Workshops

We currently offer the following workshops and workshop series. The series comprise several modules that we can offer singly, in various combinations or as a whole in various time slots.

Foundations in Teaching

Seven modules that together provide a comprehensive introduction to course development with a central focus on student learning from planning through the assessment of instruction. Adaptable to individual courses or curricula in the major or general education.

Introduction to Inquiry-guided Learning

Five modules designed to introduce instructors to inquiry-guided learning.

Outcomes-based Assessment

Demonstrates how to use outcomes to assess student learning and the effectiveness of instruction and to offer guidance for the improvement of instruction. Also explores how programs such as the academic major and general education can use course-based assessment as part of program-based assessment.

Scholarship of Teaching and Learning

Provides practical guidance on how to conduct classroom-based research and present it for publication and other forms of dissemination such as the conference poster session.

Teaching for Understanding

Explores an alternative view of teaching and learning that promotes learning that lasts longer than a semester and transfers beyond the specific context of instruction.

Teaching Intensive Courses

An exploratory workshop that draws from research literature on intensive courses, brain research, and vivid memories to suggest guiding principles for teaching during summer session, inter-term, and other compressed learning situations.
