Preparing to teach an online course?

Join the CTL and faculty participants for this 90-minute synchronous session designed for you! Experience the online modality as a learner would via Zoom. Connect with colleagues who are planning to teach online courses, share ideas and teaching approaches on community-building, student engagement, and assessing student learning in the online environment; discuss anticipated challenges and solutions in breakout rooms, engage in whole group Q&A discussion, and plan for your course context.

This session builds on the asynchronous Hybrid & Online Teaching Institute, which offers a toolkit to help you plan your seminar, small lecture, or large lecture class. You are encouraged to enroll and complete Modules 1 through 4 (approximately 4 hours) prior to joining this 90-minute synchronous online session.

Objectives: After participating in this session, participants should be able to:

Select strategies that are appropriate for their course context
Use the insights shared by colleagues to refine their approach
Reflect and plan for their hybrid or online teaching approach with their learners in mind
Please note that this session takes place via Zoom. Before you attend this session, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with Zoom. You can access CUIT’s zoom training sessions on their Zoom training page.

What motivates students to cheat and how can we prevent cheating? Join us every other week for this summer’s CTLgrads Bookclub as we read Cheating Lessons (2013) by James Lang, PhD, and dig into the research on student learning, memory, attention, and motivation and what it can tell us about why students cheat. These sessions are open to graduate students and postdocs, feel free to join any or all sessions throughout the summer! Please read the pages/sections listed below in order to contribute to and learn from this bookclub session.

Pre-reading for this session:

Pages 206-231-36 (Chapter 10 through the end of the Conclusion)
Access Lang’s book on Clio here: https://clio.columbia.edu/catalog/14043242
Participants are expected to read approximately 35 pages prior to each session. During our discussions, we will focus on how to translate education research and Lang’s recommendations into our own teaching practices—in person or online.
