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.

The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) invites faculty, guest  speakers, and teaching assistants of online courses to this workshop on  recording audio narration either in-person or virtually with the CTL  audio studio. This is one of a series of workshops on developing a BSPH  online course, but the practices and tips shared in this series can be  applied to other circumstances, including preparing and presenting a  guest lecture, a conference presentation, etc. In this workshop, you  will learn about the benefits of following the CTL’s audio recording  practices for students and faculty. We will take a virtual tour of the  CTL Audio Recording Studio spaces and identify and apply CTL audio  recording practices to sound great and engage your listeners.

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.

This special  workshop presented jointly with SOURCE highlighted ways for courses to  engage with communities, deepen relationships with students, and develop  meaningful and collaborative projects using critical online  service-learning pedagogy. This session examined the value of connecting  with communities in online courses. It also explored solutions to  common challenges when blending service-learning and online pedagogies.

Continuing  the theme of Strategies for Moving to a Virtual Classroom, Elizabeth  Stuart, PhD, Associate Dean for Education, facilitated a conversation  with some of our distinguished colleagues, discussing several best  practices arising from the many lessons learned in the first year of the  pivot to the virtual classroom. Faculty reflected on their personal  experiences and discoveries in finding what works best both for the  students and the faculty teams in the "new" online environment we were  all forced to adapt to one year ago.
