SUMMARY:Course Design Institute: January 3rd - January 9th
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 Wednesday\, January 3rd\, Friday\, January 5th\, and Tuesday\, 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. Eric Fournier\, Director of Educational Development with questions about the program. \nNote that this course design institute is primarily open to faculty teaching this Spring at WashU. If you are a graduate student who will be an instructor of record in an upcoming semester and would like to participate\, please contact Dr. Eric Fournier for next steps. A limited number of spots will be available for graduate students who are getting ready to teach independently. \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Creating Social Connection through Two-stage Exams
DESCRIPTION:We usually think of exams as solo endeavors\, but two-stage exams add a second group component to the process. In a two-stage exam\, students first take an exam by themselves and then retake the same exam together in a group. In this virtual conversation\, we will discuss two-stage exams\, their advantages\, and the details of how to implement them in your courses. \nFor questions about this event\, contact Dr. Rick Moore\, Assistant Director of Assessment and Evaluation. \n  \nRegistration

SUMMARY:Creating Accessible and Interactive PDFs for Digital Reading
DESCRIPTION:Students read on screens all the time\, but due to constraints in digital reading tools\, they may not be engaging deeply with the new ideas\, worlds\, and people available at their fingertips.

SUMMARY:Adapting Your Assessments in Light of AI
DESCRIPTION:ChatGPT and other AI composition tools challenge instructors to revisit and potentially rethink their assessment practices. In this workshop\, we will explore and discuss various ways that instructors can adapt their homework\, exams\, and writing assignments to take in account our new AI-assisted normal.
