Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning
Lunchtime Seminar
Providing an opportunity for faculty, graduate students, and professional staff to gather with colleagues to listen, discuss, comment, interact and reflect on a variety of topics to enhance teaching and learning.
The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning offers the following workshop:
Teaching in an Intensive Session
Susanna Cowan, Aynsley Diamond & Desmond McCaffrey, CETL
Join us as we explore through conversation the unique challenges—and opportunities—that emerge when teaching an intensive course during the summer or winter. Teaching an in person, hybrid/blended, or online course, in a 3, 5, or 6-week class interval requires both compressing material and adapting to the rhythms of significantly longer meeting times. In addition, teaching online and hybrid/blended courses necessitates new modes of delivery and the support of alternative methods of student engagement. Our discussion will feature faculty members who have successfully implemented these modes of instruction. We’d love for both experienced summer/winter teachers and those venturing into an intensive course for the first time to join us at the table as we explore what makes a summer/winter course different, and how that translates to the classroom and beyond.
