SUMMARY:Reconceptualizing Office Hours
DESCRIPTION:While we set aside office hours each semester as an opportunity for students to come visit us if they need extra support in our classes\, often this time remains an underappreciated\, underutilized resource.

Then\, we’ll discuss ways to reconceptualize office hours to make them more effective\, better attended\, and more welcoming for all. \nFor questions about this Virtual Conversation\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Enhance Classroom Content and Collaboration with Smartboards
DESCRIPTION:Go beyond just projecting your slides or other content with Smartboards. Help students focus their attention on the content that matters most and get active by marking up your slides\, collecting student responses\, getting multiple students working on a problem together\, or projecting your content unto students’ devices. Smartboards that support this back-and-forth interaction with students are available in various WashU classrooms. They can also be added to a classroom upon request. \nJoin this in-person training in January 110 to try out the common ways that instructors and students can use Smartboards to share materials\, collaborate\, and engage with content more interactively. The facilitators are also available for Q&A following this training and for 1-1 trainings by appointment (use our consultation request form or call 314-935-6810). \nFor questions about this tech training\, please contact Dr. Sally Wu. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Fostering Social Connection and Collaboration through Videos
DESCRIPTION:Videos are a great way to deliver content and share ideas from around the world from TED talks\, YouTube videos\, recorded lectures\, and more.

SUMMARY:Course Design Institute: January 3 - January 9\, 2023
DESCRIPTION:Redesigning a course over break? Tackling a new-to-you course or a brand new course in the spring? New to WashU and/or new to designing your own course? The CTL’s Course Design Institute (CDI) is for you! \nThis week-long intensive course design institute will guide participants in planning and preparing to teach a course that is supported by the latest research in teaching and learning. During the CDI\, facilitators will model and discuss a range of tools and strategies that can enhance your instruction\, increase student engagement\, ensure alignment between course goals and assessments\, and establish an inclusive learning environment for your students. \nParticipants who fully engage in the program will leave with a significant portion of their course planning finished\, including clearly delineated learning goals\, an assessment/assignment plan\, strategies for student engagement and Canvas use\, a draft of the syllabus and course policies\, and a detailed plan for the first day of class. \nThe CDI will be conducted through a combination of daily self-paced learning modules in Canvas and three\, hour-long synchronous Zoom meetings. Overall time commitment for participating includes 3.5 hours of live engagement\, plus an average of 2-3 hours each day for asynchronous work in Canvas (reading\, watching videos\, working on drafting aspects of your course). \nLive sessions will take place via Zoom on Tuesday\, January 3rd\, Thursday\, January 5th\, and Monday\, January 9th from 10-11am CT. To participate\, faculty must commit to attending the three live sessions. \nProgram Learning Objectives:\nParticipants will: \n\nLearn about and employ backwards design to develop a course plan;\nDesign\, develop\, and build materials for their course including learning goals\, assessment plan\, syllabus\, and more;\nDiscover strategies for helping students thrive\, including ways to promote meaningful interaction and support equitable learning; and\nExperience Canvas from the perspective of a student in a course.\n\nPlease contact Dr. Meg Gregory\, meggregory@wustl.edu with questions about the program. \nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty teaching this Spring or Summer at WashU. If you are a graduate student or postdoc who will be an instructor of record in an upcoming semester and would like to participate\, please contact meggregory@wustl.edu for next steps. A limited number of spots may be available for graduate students and postdocs depending on faculty participant demand. \nRegister Here\nRegistration has now closed. Please contact Dr. Meg Gregory (meggregory@wustl.edu) with questions.

SUMMARY:Fall 2022 Faculty Reading Community
DESCRIPTION:Join fellow faculty and CTL staff for sustained cross-disciplinary conversation on critical topics in teaching and learning. \nThe Faculty Reading Community discussions in Fall 2022 will involve chapters from Peter Felten and Leo M.

SUMMARY:Incorporating Active Learning During Class Time
DESCRIPTION:Research overwhelmingly supports the idea that active learning\, “opportunities for students to meaningfully talk and listen\, write\, read\, and reflect on the content\, ideas\, issues\, and concerns of an academic subject” leads to greater learning gains than methods of teaching that situate students as passive receptors of knowledge (Meyer & Jones\, 1993). Yet sometimes factors like course content\, class size\, and student readiness lend themselves to more traditional methods like lecture. In this workshop\, participants will examine the research related to active learning in the humanities\, arts\, and social sciences\, and discuss how to incorporate active learning strategies effectively into their courses. \nFor questions about this workshop\, please contact Dr. Meg Gregory. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this workshop has now closed. If you would still like to participate\, please contact Dr. Gregory for the Zoom link. \n

SUMMARY:Efficient\, Reflective and Effective Strategies for Grading
DESCRIPTION:Evaluating student work\, particularly for large classes or long assignments\, requires time and effort. Graduate students and postdocs can benefit from adopting efficient strategies that help to ensure fair application of points while making good use of their time. Grading can further be a reflective activity that provides feedback to the grader about student comprehension\, which can then be used to inform future interactions with students and faculty. Grading is also an effective tool for guiding students to deeper understanding through thoughtful\, targeted feedback on their effort. \nIn this workshop\, participants will work together to explore various grading strategies while also discussing other aspects of assessing student work\, such as communicating with faculty about grading criteria and policy\, achieving consistency during grading and responding to common student concerns about grades. \nRegister here
