This three-day, interactive seminar, led by Tracy Ruscetti (Biology), Christelle Sabatier (Biology), and Tim Urdan (Psychology) is designed for faculty interested in renovating, refreshing, or refashioning their course/s to integrate excellent teaching practices and effective use of technology. The seminar incorporates a backward design approach to course planning. We will discuss how to create clear and meaningful learning objectives, how to design assessments to determine whether students meet those learning objectives, and how to foster learning and engagement in your classroom.  As we focus on each of these issues, we will demonstrate and work with technological tools to support faculty work o​n​ assignments and activities, content delivery, student engagement, and evaluation of student learning. Participants in the seminar will have time to apply the ideas and tools from the course into the redesign of their own courses or lesson plans.  Participating faculty are encouraged to bring a syllabus or lesson plans for a specific course to work on during this workshop.

Stipend for this three-day seminar is $300. Participants must attend all three days.

All SCU faculty are invited, with priority given to continuing, full-time faculty and first time participants.
