Slide show presentations prepared in PowerPoint are ubiquitous but don't always support learning. In this session, participants will discover evidence-based slide show presentation techniques that encourage learning and promote engagement.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, called Teaching Foundations. Designed for new faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and those looking for a refresher on good teaching practices, the webinars are short, with a brief presentation interspersed with opportunities for interaction and questions. Grounded in current research, the workshops address various teaching topics and provide participants with strategies and resources to make instruction more effective, efficient, and enjoyable. Sessions are scheduled with the time of semester in mind, to keep topics relevant for faculty needs at that time.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Instructional Strategies (IS), Curriculum and Course Design (C), Instructional Technology (IT)

When applying for faculty positions with teaching responsibilities, an increasing expectation in institutions with a focus on undergraduate education is that applicants will have a collection of evidence of their experiences related to teaching and learning. Even if you have not formally taught a course, you may have had other experiences that can demonstrate your growing ability related to teaching. This workshop will address ways to think about experiences related to teaching, and how to document these for the job search.
This webinar is co-sponsored by the IUPUI Preparing Future Faculty and Professionals program.

Students who have a growth mindset view intelligence as malleable while those with a fixed mindset view intelligence as finite. Students can grow with persistence and effort, but having a growth mindset underlies these behaviors. This, in turn, is dependent on the instructor’s mindset as well. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the differences between growth and fixed mindset theories of intelligence and discuss activities they can incorporate into their classes to foster growth mindset. They will also reflect upon their current teaching practices that align with growth mindset and identify new activities.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching Foundations (previously known as Teaching@IUPUI). Designed for new faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and those looking for a refresher on good teaching practices, the webinars are short, with a brief presentation interspersed with opportunities for interaction and questions.

When students don't meet together in real time to discuss course concepts, it's important to include asynchronous discussions to provide student-student interaction. Whatever your learning objective for the discussion, there are 4 main keys to integrating effective discussion activities into an online or hybrid course:
- Purpose
- Personal Meaning
- Reflection
- Variety
In this webinar, we will look at strategies for developing engaging online student-student interactions that support your students' learning.
This webinar is part of a series of Digital Course Design webinars and workshops designed for instructors teaching online, hybrid, and flipped classes.
