The cost of course materials greatly impacts our students and their opportunities for learning given their limited resources. This presentation will include the OER and Creative Commons as well as many other examples for replacing course materials with free or more affordable student options.
This session will introduce collaborative group work that required students to get out of their seats and participate in problem-solving activities.
Joshua Parcha and Lori Reno discuss and share examples of successful implementation of creative assessments in their courses and its benefits to students achieving learning objectives.
Do you ever struggle with getting students to engage closely with readings, or talk specifically about a text? Gina and Lindsey will talk about their experience using Perusall, an online tool that turns readings into interactive discussions.
In order to ensure that we are teaching all of our students and not just the ones who are like us, it is critical that we learn about and account for their diverse backgrounds. In this session, you will hear about ways to gather information about the demographics of your classes as well as methods for making your syllabus more inclusive.
