  • 3/30 Developing Discussion Questions

    Developing discussion questions 
    Wednesday, March 30, 11:00 – 12:00
    Online - see registration confirmation for link 
    Presenters: Tina Huey, CETL-Faculty Development  

    Join us for an hour of your day to connect with your colleagues. Teaching talks serve as a springboard for discussions around a topic related to teaching and learning but really give you the chance to share the success and challenges you are facing in our new teaching reality. Each session has a topical theme but is shaped by the participants together with the facilitator. Teaching talks are not recorded.  

    The thematic focus for this particular session is discussion questions. The format will be interactive, with a combination of presentation and breakout discussions. Depending on the interests of participants, topics may include: 

    • How do you use questions in the classroom? 
    • What are your objectives for class discussions? 
    • Can we remain spontaneous while being intentional with our questions? 
    • What does equity have to do with the kinds of questions we ask in discussions? 
    • How do different modes and media support discussion objectives? 
    • What are some frameworks to consider for question building?  

    Interactivity level: moderate to high 

    Teaching talks are not recorded.
