SUMMARY:Tabletop Escape Rooms for Engaged Learning: A Hands-on Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Escape room games and puzzles are fabulous ways to engage students in authentic learning\, but they can seem daunting in terms of the technology and effort involved. In this hands-on workshop\, you’ll have a chance to design (mostly) analog activities for your courses. We’ll start with a brief overview of why puzzles and games are effective learning tools\, followed by an example of a tabletop escape room built around historical sources. We’ll then provide ideas\, templates\, and materials for you to build your own tabletop escape game during our session! \nIf you have questions about this session\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

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. \nRegister Here\nRegistration for this event has now closed.

SUMMARY:Applying Cognitive Science to Your Teaching: Retrieval Practice\, Spacing\, and Interleaving
DESCRIPTION:Understanding how students learn is an important part of being an effective instructor. In this workshop\, participants will examine how to translate three principles from cognitive science to their teaching: 1) retrieval practice—deliberately recalling information from memory\, 2) spacing—returning to a concept over time\, and 3) interleaving—switching between learning about similar ideas. We will consider ways to apply these principles to designing the structure of a course\, implementing in-class activities\, and creating homework assignments. \nIf you have question about this event\, contact Lisa Kuehne. \nNote: This workshop is being offered as part of the “Developing Essential Teaching Skills” Workshop Series for Postdocs\nIf you have questions about the series\, Contact Lisa Kuehne or Peter Myers. \nRegistration\nSign up for this and/or other workshops offered as part of this series.

SUMMARY:Responding to Student Writing
DESCRIPTION:As AIs and instructors\, we dedicate many hours each semester to commenting on and evaluating student writing\, but is this feedback helping students to improve their writing and critical thinking skills the way that we want it to? In this workshop\, we’ll draw on writing pedagogy scholarship to confront the challenges associated with providing effective feedback to a variety of student learners as well as to identify strategies for developing a readerly approach to responding to our students’ writing. Further\, we’ll discuss the kinds of feedback that might be most helpful to students at different stages (planning\, drafting\, revising) of the writing process. Finally\, we’ll discuss a few strategies for encouraging your students to interact productively with your written feedback. \nIf you have questions about this advanced pedagogies workshop\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Public-facing Writing\, with Students: An Alternative Collaborative Writing Assignment
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever had something interesting or unexpected happen in your course that you felt could be captured and reflected upon further? Or have you ever had a class just gel so well that you could imagine doing a group project together in lieu of a previously planned formal assignment? In this workshop\, Christopher Schaberg\, Director of Public Scholarship\, will share his experiences writing collaboratively with students and then getting this work published in general audience venues. While this alternative kind of writing with students can be scary and unpredictable\, it can ultimately give students a dynamic\, real-world experience with writing collaboratively – guided by their professor\, but working with professional editors and encountering public audiences\, along the way. We’ll discuss the positive results\, such as students seeing a real editing process take place\, and we’ll also reflect on how this can infuse joy into our work as instructors (and get us a byline!). You’ll also have the opportunity to share early ideas or ask questions about how this kind of alternative assignment might be able to fit into your courses. \nIf you have questions about this session\, contact Elina Salminen. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Elevating Creativity in the Classroom
DESCRIPTION:In this fun\, interactive workshop\, Rob Morgan will provide a look at the creative practice fields and the valuable lessons they teach all of us! Drawing on a popular first year course called Designing Creativity that he’s co-taught to more than one thousand students over the past ten years\, as well as his multi-disciplinary design background\, Rob will lead us in exploring the value of creative approaches in all classrooms. We’ll cover how collaboration\, testing and re-testing ideas\, prototyping concepts\, overcoming fears\, venturing guesses\, thinking divergently\, and the creative process in general are applicable to nearly ALL disciplines. Along  the way\, we’ll learn about how to ‘elevate and celebrate’ creative intelligences in our students as well as in ourselves. \nIf you have questions about this event\, contact Elina Salminen. \n  \nRegistration
