    Enhancing student engagement with the readings 
    September 26, 12:30-1:45
    Online, link will be sent to registered participants 
    Presenter: Tina Huey
      

    Can students meet your course objectives without reading the texts? If so, what is the value of assigning reading in your course? What learning objectives does reading help students meet? These foundational questions will frame our discussion. Tools and approaches will be shared for: 

    • Creating reading guides and worksheets 
    • Choosing texts 
    • Annotation tools (Perusall, Voicethread) 
    • Activities such as games, remixes, and Generative AI 
    • Modeling engagement 

    Ideas will be shared for curating a reading list, including: alphabetic texts vs. audio and video; amount of reading assigned; and organizing access to course readings. This is an interactive session and participants are encouraged to share their experiences and questions.
