Graduate

Preparing to teach a hybrid or online course for Spring 2021? If you haven’t already, be sure to enroll in the Hybrid & Online Teaching Institute offered by the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) to access a toolkit to help you plan your seminar, small lecture, or large lecture class.

Once you’ve completed the asynchronous Modules in CourseWorks (approximately 4 hours), join the CTL and other faculty participants for this 90-minute synchronous online session via Zoom. Registration here. Please register as space is limited.

Note: there may be sessions scheduled through your school or department. Please check communication from your Administrators prior to registering for a University-wide session.

During the session, you will have the opportunity to experience a few of the strategies that are recommended in the CourseWorks Modules, share ideas and teaching approaches with colleagues, explore a case, engage in Q&A discussion, and begin planning for your course context. Please note that this session takes place via Zoom and is NOT a Zoom training session. 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.

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
