Dr. David Jernigan, Ayelet Hines , Dr. Janice Bowie, Lee Bone
In CTL’s continued exploration of alternatives to the traditional lecture-driven class, guest facilitators Dr. David Jernigan and Ayelet Hines shared their experiences on the merits of Experiential Learning, specifically as the method was applied to their course on “Theory and Practice in Campaigning and Organizing”. They were accompanied by a student who was able to share her perspective and give positive testimony to the practice. In their course, students are paired with organizations over two JHSPH terms while they develop a campaign plan and apply the knowledge gained in their field experiences to a final paper and presentation.
Guest facilitators Dr. Janice Bowie and Lee Bone led the second part of the workshop, sharing their perspectives using the Harvard case-based method of teaching and learning. The course they have taught together (with Suzanne Greene - SOM) that applies this pedagogy is an introductory course into community-based participatory research (CBPR). Their presentation included a background in case-based learning (CBL) before sharing specific applications using the method in public health training and in CBPR. Here, too, a student was able to share their perspective on this lecture alternative.

How likely are you to use something “found” in your work only after seeking copyright status or permission? This session challenged some common misconceptions about fair use, classroom exceptions, and “government works as public domain" by laying the groundwork to clarify several copyright basics. Examples of special conditions for using copyright-licensed work (including, but not limited to, Creative Commons) were provided as well as specific suggestions for requesting permissions and documenting your efforts. The session's handouts are available as PDFs: ARL's Fair Use Myths & Facts (CC BY 4.0), Creative Commons Licensing (CC0), and ARL's Know Your Copy Rights (CC BY-NC 2.5).
