Students and the Pandemic: A CTE Workshop Series - Spring 2021

The isolation brought on by the pandemic has made it difficult to get a clear sense of students’ needs and well-being. To help with that, CTE has scheduled a series of workshops over the coming weeks, exploring the issue from several perspectives. The first session on March 8, Students and the Pandemic: What the Data Say, will provide insights from local and national data on student decisions, mental health and resiliency during the pandemic. This will include narrative data from a study of more than 600 students at KU and three other universities. Sessions on March 15 and 18 will provide opportunities to hear from students themselves. They will feature panels of undergraduates and graduate students who will offer their perspectives on learning and living during the pandemic. The final session, on March 26, will look at how faculty have responded to student needs over the past year and will include many tips on successful activities and course transformations.

CTE’s Winter 2021 Flexible Course Design Camp, January 12-15, 2021 

KU faculty and instructional staff members are invited to participate in the Winter 2021 session of CTE's Flexible Course Design Camp. The FCD Camp is an online seminar for teachers who want to develop or refine their courses for socially distanced, hybrid and online formats for Spring 2021. The camp will help instructors identify strategies and resources for designing effective, inclusive, and engaging courses in these formats, and prepare to shift from one format to another if needed. The camp is appropriate for both instructors who are new to flexible course design and those with experience with flexible and online teaching. 

Two Ways to Participate: Full and A la Carte! 
  •  

    Option 1: Full Camp. This is an adaptation of our popular summer 2020 program that will help you design, refine or enliven a course you are teaching this Spring in a supportive and collegial environment. This option is best for instructors new to flexible course design, who want to complete their course preparation during the week in a supportive community of peers, or who want revise several aspects of their course.  The camp is designed with flexibility in mind. In case you are unable to attend all live sessions, we will model alternative approaches to engagement that you might use in your own courses.  

     

    Option 2: A la Carte (Individual Sessions)If you just have a couple of specific aspects of your course that you want to refine (e.g., you want to change your assessments, or improve attendance and engagement, or better support struggling students, or just hear about other course examples), this option lets you select the components of the camp (both synchronous and asynchronous) that fit best your needs. See the schedule below for the list of session topics.  Sign up by completing the Camp application form (link below) and indicate which session(s) you would like to attend.

Themed 1-Hour Workshops 

Monday, September 14, 3 - 4 PM: Agile Teaching: Gathering and Using Early Course Data and Feedback

Teaching during this semester is unfamiliar territory for all of us. Most instructors are experimenting with new teaching strategies and tools, and most of our students are learning in challenging circumstances. Against this backdrop, it will be important for us to question—often and early—how well our approaches are working. Whether you discover breakdowns in student learning or pleasant surprises, early data and feedback will support the agile and responsive teaching style needed this fall. This workshop will explore a set of tools and strategies you can use right now, this very semester, to assess student progress and gather feedback about how they are experiencing the course. We will also discuss how to make quick adaptations in response to this information and share the rationale for your improvements with your students. With Andrea Follmer Greenhoot, CTE/Psychology; Carl Luchies, Mechanical Engineering; and Joshua Potter, CTE. 

Friday, September 18, 12 - 1 PM: Building Community in Our Virtual Classrooms

Susan Marshall, Psychology, and Kim Warren, History/Social Welfare, will host a virtual brown bag session highlighting ways in which KU instructors have shifted teaching during the COVID-influenced school environment. Student engagement is at the core of effective and inclusive teaching, so participants will have the chance to share and learn about practices to build student communities in our ever-shifting environments. 

Monday, September 21, 2 - 3 PM: Integrating Teams into Your Classes

Microsoft Teams offers much potential for making classes more interactive, improving collaboration, and keeping students engaged outside the classroom. In this session, we will offer strategies for integrating Teams into your classes and providing examples of how it can enhance learning.
