During Fall 2020, ACERT will continue to offer online lunchtime seminars online. Recordings, resources, and links from previous seminars are archived on this page in the tables below.
We provide links to resources that came out of the faculty working group meetings. In particular, the two faculty leaders of the Active Learning group, Julie Van Peteghem and Jeff Allred, compiled a robust group of resources in folders on a shared Dropbox site.
The Faculty Working Group on discussion-based courses consisted of 23 colleagues from 14 disciplines. Led by Lisa Marie Anderson and María Hernández-Ojeda, the group used a Padlet to get to know each other and a Blackboard site to collect, share, and discuss materials. We met on Zoom every Wednesday afternoon from July 15 to August 5.
Faculty working groups are cohorts of instructors who meet together to develop their online or hybrid syllabi and activities for Fall 2020 or Spring 2021. Each group will have a different teaching focus and be led by experienced Hunter faculty who will help participants share ideas, problem-solve, and support one another through their syllabus design process. Groups will meet online at least four different times with meetings including a mixture of whole-group discussion, individual consultation, individual work time, and whole-group presentations. At the end of the last group meeting, participants will share their course syllabus and some of the activities they created. Participants who attend all sessions, complete their course syllabus, and present to the group will receive a stipend.
This workshop will introduce you to ways to use Blackboard's grading features and design a better course shell and learner experience for your students. [Details...]
