Are you interested in the research on teaching and learning and how to apply this research to your teaching practice? Join us for our CTLgrads Journal Club where we will introduce you to the research on teaching in various disciplines (also known as Discipline-Based Education Research, or DBER) and engage peer-reviewed articles through our group discussions and contributions to the journal club. Each session will also focus on how we can use education research–in our field and beyond–to inform our own teaching practices.

– Sign up for our mailing list to learn about the upcoming readings: https://bit.ly/CTLgradsJC-Signup
– Readings will be distributed one week prior to the session.
– Participants are expected to have read the papers in order to contribute to and learn from the journal club’s discussions.
– If you haven’t received the readings, please contact CTLgrads@columbia.edu.

The CTLgrads Journal Club will meet online via Zoom starting on Tuesday 9/15 from 1:10-2:25p. We will meet every other Tuesday until the beginning of December (9/29, 10/13, 10/27, 11/10, 11/24, 12/8).

Sessions are co-facilitated by Chris Chen and Ian Althouse, Center for Teaching and Learning, and attendance is open to current graduate students and postdocs.

Teachers’ Lounges are a series of informal discussions for graduate students about teaching practices and the culture of learning at Columbia. Since many classes have shifted online this semester, Teachers’ Lounges are linking theories and models of online instruction to insights derived from working in digital learning spaces with Columbia students.

In this session, we will consider the often competing demands on attention faced by instructors in the online environment and their impact on instructional efficacy and authority.

What are some common distractions and areas of overload that hamper desired instructional attention? What can instructors do to incorporate new technologies and pedagogical approaches, while at the same time minimizing the cognitive load associated with each? Join us to share tactics and gain inspiration. Register here.

This session is facilitated by Mark Phillipson and Caitlin DeClercq from the Center for Teaching and Learning.
