Active Learning Institute Online (For Faculty)

CTL Active Learning Institute website

Looking for ways to increase student engagement in your face-to-face or online classroom? In this four-day immersive online experience, Columbia faculty will explore the purposes and benefits of active learning and learn how to apply these research-based practices by developing their own active and learner-centered (face-to-face or online) course units.

During the institute, faculty will complete a series of hands-on activities and discussions over Zoom and CourseWorks (Canvas) to work through the essential components of designing engaging student learning experiences. Topics addressed include facilitating individual and collaborative learning activities, planning and creating effective online materials, and fostering and maintaining an inclusive course climate.

Columbia faculty are invited to apply by Monday, May 17, 2021.

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.
