In this book, authors describe a wide variety of evidence-based learning activities and teaching methods for both face-to-face and online courses. The authors present a systematic exploration of eight core teaching approaches:

The format of each chapter incudes the description of each teaching approach, a synthesis of the science of teaching and learning literature, and many different evidence-based activities you may implement. As we work our way through this book, we will discuss how the readings might relate to courses you teach.

Supplement Your Student Experience of Learning Reports:  

Gathering Artifacts of Effective and Reflective Teaching Practice

We all want our students to succeed academically; fortunately, there are a number of pedagogical measures we can employ to help our students reach our (and their) goal in this regard. With the new Student Experience of Learning (SEL) surveys now in place, gathering, assembling, and presenting artifacts of effective and reflective teaching practice are likely to be indispensable inclusions moving forward. This T-SIG will offer a variety of options to set you on this path and inspire additional ideas for inclusion in your teaching portfolio.

This Spring 2023 T-SIG will cover half of this book. Other content from this book was covered in the Fall 2022 T-SIG. Please Note: There is no requirement that you complete both semesters because the topics in the two semesters are different. Our explorations will include topics such as inclusive classrooms, self-directed learning, student motivation, providing feedback, teaching modalities, and assessment preparation and grading.

Please register in full for all sessions, or by 1 week prior to each date.

Session 1: Part 2: Human Factors - We will examine how to provide a welcoming and inclusive classroom, increase motivation, and address academic integrity.

Session 2: Part 5: Tools and Techniques to Facilitate Learning -  We will examine self-regulated & self-directed learning, student preparation, teaching modalities, and providing feedback.

Session 3: Part 6: Assessment and Grading - We will examine student assessment preparation, assessment construction and grading. Finally, we will explore how to evaluate teaching effectiveness.

Session 4 Putting It All Together in Your Courses - We will discuss how you can integrate the activities and assessment approaches from this T-Sig in your courses. We will draw upon what we discussed in the three book sections we read.
