Short Course on Remote Teaching as a Pathway to Innovation

Short Course on Remote Teaching as a Pathway to Innovation

To help faculty adapt to the remote learning scenario in the Fall, LInc is offering a short course to complement the FAS training sessions. The course, for faculty only, will demonstrate how to increase student engagement and address the following questions:

How can I record my lectures and make them interactive even when viewed asynchronously?

What pedagogies might I leverage to best use synchronous time and keep students engaged?
The sessions of the short course will focus on the following pedagogies:

Lecturing — how to best record lectures, make them interactive even when delivered asynchronously, and free up synchronous time to interact with students.

Case-based Learning — how to leverage intrinsic motivation by using cases in a virtual classroom.
*This session will be conducted in Minerva’s virtual learning environment, Forum

Project-based Learning — how to create and support compelling project experiences using opportunities afforded by remote learning.

Team-based Learning — how to amplify online engagement and build a sense of community with well-designed team activities.

The LInc staff will be available over the summer to help support participants with specific course implementation issues.

Option 1: July 7-10, 9:00 - 10:30am each day
Option 2: July 14-17, 4:00 - 5:30pm each day
