CTE reconvenes this popular session on general strategies for improving teaching and learning. Faculty, TAs, and staff should come prepared to pick up guidance for their classes from colleagues and from CTE staff. We will address all issues raised by participants, soliciting expert tips from other instructors and pointing to appropriate campus resources and programs for teaching.

Visual Literacy

Thursday, September 27

Are your students able to “read” images? Can they understand and produce graphic representations of data? Participants will investigate the roles of visual literacy in undergraduate learning and consider ways to assess and improve their students’ visual literacy.

Podcasting
2:00 - 3:30 p.m.

Maryland Room, Marie Mount Hall

Podcasting means recording, hosting, and sharing video via the web. Many teachers are creating podcasts to supplement in-class teaching and learning. This workshop will introduce effective uses of podcasts on campus and will suggest ways that this tool may contribute to good pedagogy in the disciplines.

Learning for All
2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
Wednesday, October 31
Maryland Room, Marie Mount Hall

Effective teaching and learning means all students in our courses have equal opportunity to participate and to learn. As part of the President’s Commission on Disability Issues and Disability Awareness Month, a panel of campus experts, faculty, and students will review strategies for course design to support learning for all students. Participants should leave this session with plans for course development that accommodate multiple ways of learning and foster a more inclusive environment for students with disabilities.
