In this webinar，we will discuss how we can grade student work and give feedback that they can use to improve their performance in class. This webinar is geared toward part-time faculty who have a limited amount of time to spend on their courses，but all faculty can benefit from thinking critically and reflectively about their grading practices. Topics that will be covered include rubrics，checklists，minimal marking，and targeted feedback and how to apply them in all disciplines. – April 25, 2019

Using small group collaborative learning can be a transformative experience for our students，but how do we ensure it is transformative in a good way? In the seminal text "Team-Based Learning: a Transformative Use of Small Groups in College Teaching"，Michaelsen，Knight，and Fink provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for incorporating formal teamwork into college courses. Topics addressed include specific procedures to help form groups and turn them into high-performing teams，to the "4S" rules for designing effective in-class activities，to discipline-specific recommendations and lessons learned，and more. Come and share your thoughts about how techniques from this book can help crank up learning in your course. – April 19, 2019

What do we want students to remember from our courses? This interactive webinar prepares us to think about our goals for the last class of the semester. Perhaps we want to reinforce the course goals，create opportunities for reflection，connect student learning to future classes or employment，affirm the value of continuous learning，or inspire our students. Join this webinar to share and to learn about purposeful strategies to wrap up our last class in a meaningful way for ourselves and our students. – April 16, 2019

Course design is one of several important elements of teaching for student success. This interactive workshop will provide a framework for self-reflection about opportunities for course redesign through the lens of student success. The framework will emphasize three research-based elements: mastery，metacognition，and motivation. Join us to reflect on the framework and to strategize and set priorities to improve student outcomes. – April 10, 2019

This workshop is designed to help participants choose and use a variety of tools and techniques for assessing student learning in STEM courses that can help us better understand our students’ performance in the classroom，and also contribute to assessment needed for specialized accreditation such as ABET or NAAB. We will discuss important concepts underpinning successful classroom assessment of student learning，describe a variety of tools and techniques for STEM courses，and note connections to helpful literature. During the session each participant will have an opportunity to select several potential new assessment tools or techniques for their own course，and plan for potential initial implementation for one or two of those tools and techniques. – April 08, 2019

Held on Mon. April 1 and Tue. April 2，this Teaching Academy will introduce you to research on student learning，information processing and skill development，and to teaching strategies tailored to foster deep lasting learning in your students. Rather than simply listening to presenters，the sessions will be very interactive，and there will be time during the two days dedicated to apply the theories and research to your own courses.
Some of the topics discussed will include:
Student's Prior Knowledge
Information Processing and Knowledge Organization
Student Motivation
Practice and Feedback
Student Development
Course Climate
Metacognition

The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) focuses on investigations of teaching practices and student learning within a discipline or across disciplines in higher education. If you are curious about your students’ learning and want to explore the intersection of teaching and scholarship，join us for this interactive webinar，where you’ll gain practical suggestions for any stage of the SoTL research process，from generating initial ideas to presenting or publishing the research. Webinar link and information will be emailed to participants a few days before the webinar. – March 22, 2019

Paradoxically，role-play is an authentic activity to improve long-term learning and prepare students for future coursework or careers. Role play activities encourage students to identify solutions to case studies，resolve problems in representative scenarios ，interpret theories，analyze literature and visual arts，or practice empathy by taking another person’s point of view. Through role play，students can engage in research，build “think-on-your-feet” skills，and reflect upon alternative solutions. Participants in this research-based，interactive workshop will examine the effectiveness of role-play across disciplines，analyze guidelines and resources for role-play activities，and practice how to design and implement role-play in college classrooms. – March 21, 2019
