Have you ever wondered whether your course was designed backward?

Typically,  faculty start the course design process by identifying the content that  they want their students to absorb, but there is a more effective,  goal-oriented method called Backwards Design. In this workshop, we will  explore aspects of Backwards Course Design, which focuses on the end  goals, or learning objectives, of the course. We will discuss the  importance of starting with learning objectives, what it means for a  learning objective to be SMART, and how to design assessments that align  with those objectives.

This session  will focus on how the Community of Inquiry (COI) and Universal Design  for Learning (UDL) frameworks can intersect to support engaging learners  with the curriculum and with each other. We will discuss pedagogical  strategies attached to COI and UDL to create and maintain a positive  learning climate. This climate – one that is authentic, intellectually  challenging, motivating, and promotes a sense of purpose and belonging –  sets the scaffolding upon which students can master the subject matter  while also building their skills as life-long, expert learners.

Ever  wondered how to turn your teaching into a research publication? What  would it take to do it? This workshop will cover which part of your  educational work can be used for scholarship; how to measure learning  outcomes; what you need to know about ethical and logistical  implications; and where to publish your work.

This  workshop discussed how to create a professional and engaging  presentation. Attendees learned how CTL technical writers ensure the  quality, clarity, consistency, and accessibility of CTL-published course  materials. The do's and don'ts of high-quality presentations were  discussed. And the work and services of CTL's medical illustrator was  introduced.

The hybrid session will offer teaching faculty concrete suggestions for  handling the stresses that come with teaching. Presenters will provide  information about available resources for faculty. The Bloomberg  School’s Teaching Council will also moderate small group breakouts to  discuss challenging teaching situations and brainstorm solutions.
