Winter Events & Institutes
2020 EVENTS
INTRODUCTION TO PROBLEM BASED LEARNING
January 8-10, 2020
This PBL workshop is for educators interested in learning about problem-based learning (PBL), both in its classic form and recent variations. We welcome those new to PBL as well as experienced practitioners. We welcome faculty, graduate students, and instructional support staff in higher education.
This workshop will demonstrate problem-based learning and model ways that PBL can be used effectively in all disciplines across higher education and in all size classes and will describe ways to adapt PBL to your teaching situation.
WINTER INSTITUTE ON LEARNING
January 28-30, 2020
How do you make students’ learning visible in your courses? Learn with and from you colleagues about designing and grading engaging, effective assignments as part of this collaborative one-day event. The Winter Institute on Learning is an invitation-only event.
COURSE DESIGN INSTITUTE
This winter course design institute will meet the same objectives as described in the above Summer CDI but with a focus on large introductory courses. Our institute will take place each day from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. We’ll provide coffee and a light breakfast, as well as lunch on all three days. All participants are expected to attend the complete program.
The winter course design institute is limited to 30 participants.
DLEO: Delivering Learning Experience Online
January 14 – March 4, 2020
The goal of Delivering Learning Experiences Online (DLEO) is to assist faculty who are transitioning to online teaching. This course is an opportunity to fully participate as a student in an online course while learning about best practices in teaching online and developing your own online course plans. The course is suitable for those teaching in all online environments (face-to-face with online components, fully online, and all combinations in between).
