PSU Scranton Science faculty member Theresa Black has used Teams in conjunction with Canvas and other online tools to meet with her students over the summer and fall. Join us to discuss her experiences – the good and the bad – and learn how you can use Teams to create community and collaboration online.
This session will cover best practices for organizing your course content in a way that you and your students can easily navigate. Participants will have the opportunity to modify one of their existing Canvas courses in collaboration with facilitators and other session participants.
The vast majority of students pass their courses and progress through their major even as they accumulate gaps in their knowledge. The Mastery approach prevents these gaps by making individualized modifications so that all students can achieve the same level of learning.
In this session, presenters will share resources that will help you decide the appropriate amount of content and activities for your course. Participants will have the opportunity to assess the existing workload in one of their courses and reflect on possible changes to improve student learning.
Adjunct faculty bring tremendous dedication and innovation to their teaching but they rarely receive the support and encouragement that their work deserves. In this session, experienced adjunct faculty share some of the challenges common among adjunct faculty and some of the strategies they have used to create success.
