  • Workshops: Developing New TOI-1 Creativity Courses

    In preparation for the move from general education to the Common Curriculum, we're offering a number of workshops to help faculty manage this transition.

    What constitutes creativity? How can students apply higher order thought process to imagine new possibilities? How can innovative thought and activity be deployed across different fields or disciplines? If you're interested in creating or revising a course to fulfill “TOI-1 Creativity: Design, Expression, Innovation,” please attend this workshop.  We’ll cover:

    • Defining creativity
    • Applying concepts of creativity to a range of subjects
    • Aligning your course content to the TOI-1 Student Learning Objectives
    • The process for approving these courses
    Save the date of your choice! (Workshops cover the same material. You do not need to attend both.)
