Building momentum for Fall 2021: Capitalizing on the transition series

Event Information

In the Chronicle of Higher Education this week, José Antonio Bowen considers why we need to embrace change, stating that ‘those who stay the same during the transition [will] end up losing.’ As you all know, the last three semesters have brought about significant change. The pandemic has changed norms and expectations but as you prepare to teach in Fall 2021, know that you don’t need to start from scratch! You can take what you have learned to create a better and more engaging experience than either Fall 2019 or Fall 2020.

To this end, the Teaching and Learning Center is facilitating a series of three 90-minute webinar workshops (August 3-5) to guide you through a reflective, iterative, and interactive process. This workshop series will help you to identify the tools and teaching techniques to retain and enhance from your online and remote teaching experiences, as well as brainstorm and plan for highly interactive learning activities for small AND large enrollment classes.

Participants are welcome to engage in the events in two ways - either by attending the live Zoom session or by watching the recorded session asynchronously. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance for attending the event live or for viewing the recording.

Large group discussion: Reflection on the past & setting goals for the future

Event Description: This discussion-based session will focus on remote/hybrid teaching over the past 15 months.
