From the publisher’s website: Written by a leading global expert on human cognition\, productive failure\, and learning methods\, Productive Failure shows you how to design the experience of failing. Research shows that repeated experiences of intriguing\, constructive failure can help students (and our own children\, and anyone else we lead) develop creativity and learn more deeply. When carefully curated\, failure can become a signal for learning\, not the noise detracting from it. The result? Learners gain a lifelong readiness to push themselves outside of their comfort zones\, using setbacks as launchpads for learning and innovation. \nParticipants are required to attend 4 of 5 meetings. Faculty will receive a print copy of the book courtesy of the CTL. Seats are limited. \nMeeting Mode and Time: \nThe FRC will meet in person at 1PM on the following Fridays: \n\nJan. 30th\, 2026\nFeb. 13th\, 2026\nFeb. 27th\, 2026\nMarch 27th\, 2026\nApril 10th\, 2026\nApril 24th\, 2026\n\nOur meeting room will be on the Danforth campus and will be announced soon. \nThe Spring 2026 reading community will be facilitated by Natalie Monzyk\, Assistant Director of Educational Technology. \nFor questions about the Faculty Reading Community\, please contact Natalie (monzykn@wustl.edu). \n  URL:https://ctl.wustl.edu/event/spring-2026-faculty-reading-community/2026-04-10/ LOCATION:TBD CATEGORIES:- Multiple Meetings END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20260401T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20260401T153000 DTSTAMP:20260417T171335 CREATED:20260105T211529Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260225T204920Z UID:20429-1775052000-1775057400@ctl.wustl.edu SUMMARY:Immersive Education: An Introduction to AR/VR Teaching Resources at WashU DESCRIPTION:Are you curious about how Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) can transform your classroom and engage your students in powerful new ways?

This event is meant to be a fun\, low-stress (post-Spring Break) opportunity for language instructors to get together\, share\, and learn from each other. \nThis event will feature participants briefly sharing a favorite engaging grammar activity that might transfer to other language-teaching contexts. Make sure the activity can be described in just a few minutes\, since we’ll be doing lightning rounds! \nAll participants will create a single PPT slide that includes your name\, a brief description of the activity\, the level of course the activity is appropriate for\, and what you see as its benefits. The slide need not be fancy! Participants will share their ideas and each PPT slide will be collected and redistributed together with the others as a single PDF to all event participants as a “resource gallery” for future use. \nAll language instructors including faculty\, postdocs\, and grad students who are teaching independently\, are welcome to participate. If you can’t make it for the whole hour\, you are welcome to still participate when you can. Advance registration is required. All attendees must plan to bring an activity to share. \nFor questions about the event\, please email Elina Salminen at elinasalminen@wustl.edu. \n  \nRegistration\n\n\n \n FacebookThis field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Preferred First Name (if different)WUSTL Email Address(Required)\n \n What is your role at WashU?(Required)Please Choose One:Adjunct InstructorAdministrator (Deans\, etc.)Assistant ProfessorAssociate ProfessorGraduate StudentLecturerLibrarianOtherPostdocProfessor (Full)Professor of PracticeSenior LecturerStaffTeaching ProfessorVisiting ProfessorIf you chose "Other\," please describe:Year in Graduate Program(Required)12345678910+Primary Program/Department(Required)Please Choose One:African and African American StudiesAmerican Culture StudiesAnthropologyArchitectureArt (Visual Art)Art History and ArchaeologyAudiology and Communication SciencesBiologyBiomedical Engineering (BME)BusinessChemistryClassicsCollege Writing ProgramComparative Literature & ThoughtComputer Science and Engineering (CSE)Continuing & Professional Studies (CAPS)Danforth CenterDBBS (Biochemistry Biophysics and Structural Biology)DBBS (Biomedical Informatics & Data Science)DBBS (Cancer Biology)DBBS (Computational and Systems Biology)DBBS (Developmental Regenerative and Stem Cell Biology)DBBS (Evolution Ecology and Population Biology)DBBS (Human and Statistical Genetics)DBBS (Immunology)DBBS (Molecular Biology)DBBS (Molecular Genetics and Genomics)DBBS (Molecular Microbiology and Microbial Pathogenesis)DBBS (Neurosciences)DBBS (Plant and Microbial Biosciences)Division of Computational and Data Sciences (DCDS)Earth\, Environmental\, and Planetary Sciences (EEPS)East Asian Languages and Cultures (EALC)EconomicsEducationElectrical and Systems Engineering (ESE)Energy Environmental and Chemical Engineering (EECE)Engineering Communication CenterEnglishEnvironmental StudiesFilm and Media StudiesGenetics CounselingGermanic Languages and LiteraturesGlobal StudiesHistoryImaging ScienceInstitute of Materials Science and Engineering (IMSE)Jewish Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies (JIMES)LawLibrariesLinguisticsMathematicsMechanical Engineering and Materials Science (MEMS)MedicineMSTPMusicN/A University AdministrationNursingOccupational Therapy (Rehabilitation and Participation Science)OtherPerforming ArtsPhilosophy (Philosophy-Neuroscience-Psychology)Physical TherapyPhysicsPolitical SciencePsychological and Brain SciencesPublic Health & Society (A&S)Public Health (School of)Religious StudiesRomance Languages and LiteraturesSever InstituteSocial WorkSociologyStatistics and Data ScienceWomen Gender and Sexuality Studies (WGSS)If you chose "Other\," please describe:The Center for Teaching and Learning is committed to providing an inclusive and welcoming environment for all participants.

From the publisher’s website: Written by a leading global expert on human cognition\, productive failure\, and learning methods\, Productive Failure shows you how to design the experience of failing. Research shows that repeated experiences of intriguing\, constructive failure can help students (and our own children\, and anyone else we lead) develop creativity and learn more deeply.
