Past Events

This semester we will be reading the book Mindset : the new psychology of success by Carol S. Dweck.

Online Teaching Days is an opportunity for instructors to watch their colleagues teach, and to talk with each other about their teaching successes and struggles. As a non-evaluative peer observation practice, Online Teaching Days instead focuses on reflection and sharing of new ideas and methodologies.

In their courses, TAs and AIs have an opportunity to create an inclusive environment and foster meaningful participation in the classroom since students often feel more comfortable communicating with them. During this 90-minute session, you will learn about how to work with students with disabilities in your role as a TA or AI!

In this workshop, participants will learn the basic outline of a lesson and practice creating these steps for their own teaching material: the objective, introduction, activity, wrap-up, and assessment. We will dwell on the “activity” stage to discuss scaffolding techniques. Finally, participants will brainstorm assessment methods to check if their lesson plans were successful. Instructors will leave with a useable lesson plan for their classrooms.

It’s time for the Panopto winter feature update! These changes will go live on December 19th, and our band of Panopto adventurers will be hard at work exploring the new features that will be available to UT faculty and students. T

In this workshop we will cover the process of making student video assignments in Panopto, from initial set up to student submission. We will also show you an example of how these come into SpeedGrader, and how you might even provide video feedback to your students. Finally, we will show you how to turn an ordinary Canvas Discussion into a video discussion board using Panopto.

This webinar will cover accessing the UT Zoom portal, scheduling meetings, Host Meeting controls - including Breakout Rooms and Polling - and where to find resources and support.
