it\u2019s never too late to make a good decision, right?\u00a0<\/strong> although planning fall courses starts long before the start of classes, we recognize that many instructors are still making course design and implementation decisions right up to the wire.\u00a0 that\u2019s why we\u2019re offering a variety of teaching workshops for vanderbilt instructors on august 21st and 22nd, right before the first day of the fall semester.\u00a0 topics at the cft\u2019s just-in-time teaching conference include:<\/p>\n we hope you\u2019ll join us for one or more of these workshops!\u00a0 click on the tabs below to learn more about the workshops and to register. we know that not all vanderbilt colleges and schools start classes on august 23rd, but we hope that you find the just-in-time teaching conference useful, no matter when your courses begin!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n backward design<\/em> is a curriculum development approach that prioritizes student learning outcomes over content coverage. the process involves starting with the end goals in mind and working backward to design course strategies, activities, assignments and assessment criteria. integrating student learning goals and outcomes for a course serves various purposes, including increasing student awareness of their learning and providing frameworks for course assignments and assessments. this course-design workshop will discuss how learning outcomes differ from learning goals or objectives and how to implement backward design principles and techniques into your current or future course design.<\/p>\n date:<\/strong> <\/span>monday, august 21st register here<\/a><\/p>\n in this hands-on workshop, participants will learn about vanderbilt\u2019s course management system, brightspace. bring your own laptop computer so you can explore and build content in our test course! by the end of the session, users will be able to:<\/p>\n date:<\/strong> <\/span>monday, august 21st register here<\/a><\/p>\n when we teach with writing, we can promote deep, transformational learning. but what challenges do chatgpt and other artificial intelligence (ai) chatbots pose for writing\u2019s place in our courses and assignments? in what ways might ai change how students learn to write and learn through writing? how might we adapt our educational strategies? this session with the director of the writing studio will tackle these questions and open a dialogue about the future of teaching writing in the age of ai.<\/p>\n date:<\/strong> <\/span>monday, august 21st register here<\/a><\/p>\n research has found that student engagement is critical to their academic success. effective classroom discussions can enhance student learning, foster critical thinking, and promote active participation. this interactive workshop will equip instructors with the skills and strategies necessary to effectively lead and facilitate engaging classroom discussions. participants will explore techniques to initiate and guide discussions that promote critical thinking, reflection, and active engagement. through hands-on activities and discussions, participants will develop practical skills to lead effective classroom discussions, manage group dynamics, address controversial topics, and encourage respectful dialogue.<\/p>\n date:<\/strong><\/span> monday, august 21st<\/span><\/span> register here<\/a><\/p>\n throughout the curriculum students are increasingly engaged in scholarly research with faculty, for example in first-year seminars, online courses, capstone classes, graduate courses, or in fulfilling credit for immersion vanderbilt. in all of these settings students benefit immensely from their opportunities to develop (multi-)disciplinary knowledge and fundamental skills of scholarly research, especially information and data literacy. in this vital work, embedded librarians can assist you by providing relevant guidance and personalized assistance for your students, ensuring greater engagement and success. this session will discuss the educational opportunities students may achieve through scholarly research in your courses, and how embedded librarians can enhance student learning.<\/p>\n date:<\/strong><\/span> tuesday, august, 22nd<\/span><\/span> register here<\/a><\/p>\n research from a variety of disciplines suggests that creative assignments\u2014especially multimodal<\/i> assignments that feature combinations of text, video, audio, movement, or other means of communicating a message\u2014 can promote students’ deeper engagement with course content. these sorts of assignments can also promote educational equity by providing diverse students with opportunities to leverage their strengths, explore their passions, and adapt to their needs. how might instructors begin to integrate more creative, collaborative, and multimodal assignments into their syllabi? through hands-on activities and cooperative planning sessions, workshop participants will explore how to design multimodal assignments that lean on students’ areas of expertise and interest in alignment with instructional goals. we will also discuss how to scaffold students’ ability to feel successful with creative work by structuring in small scale, low-stakes assignments over the course of the semester. participants will be provided with resources and contacts to support them as they continue to explore innovative instructional strategies following the conclusion of the workshop.<\/span><\/p>\n date:<\/strong> <\/span>tuesday, august 22nd\n
