DTEI Faculty Working Groups
Get ready for fall quarter with the support of colleagues and guidance from the Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation! Working groups are made up of 4-5 faculty of similar disciplines and class sizes and meet on a weekly basis. Groups are provided recommendations and goals in designing a hybrid or in-person course for fall as well as meetings with DTEI experts. In addition, we will be highlighting some technology tools to enhance student engagement and success including Perusall, Gradescope, EdPuzzle, Mentimeter, and more!
1. Hybrid Teaching Working Group (4 week program)
This working group is for faculty who will be teaching using a hybrid format during Fall 2021.
In this group, we will be going over best practices for balancing in-person and online instruction using synchronous and asynchronous techniques. This includes creating an equitable course structure while maintaining rigor, utilizing Learning Assistants (LAs) to enhance learning, and leveraging technology while promoting student success.
Working groups will meet on four consecutive Wednesdays from 12pm-2pm starting July 7th.
2. In-Person Teaching Working Group (4 week program)
This working group is for faculty who will be teaching in-person during Fall 2021.
In this group, we will be going over how to leverage your remote teaching materials for in-person instruction. This includes potentially using a flipped classroom format, where the students preview the material before coming to class, freeing up in-class time to go deeper into topics and have more meaningful discussions.
Working groups will meet on four consecutive Wednesdays from 12pm-2pm starting August 4th.
Webinars will be offered by both DTEI and OIT throughout the summer. More information can be found on the EEE+ EdTechTools Webinars page.
