Join us for an introductory, asynchronous crash course in the cognitive theories underlying learning and memory. Discover how you can leverage these theories to encourage deep, meaningful, long-lasting learning for your students.
Discussion can be an effective classroom tool to reach a variety of course goals. "Facilitating Effective Discussions" aims to equip instructors with tools to encourage and maintain classroom engagement for all students while meeting course goals.
“Facilitating Effective Labs” aims to equip lab instructors with tools to lead an engaging and collaborative lab session that still gives students time to complete the required activities. We will explore strategies for setting lab expectations, giving helpful pre- and post-lab talks, and asking questions that promote discovery and observation.
