Do your courses normally include many international students? Given the changes due to COVID-19, many international students may have returned to their home countries and will be participating in online courses from around the world.
In this webinar, we will explore some of the challenges these students can face, including technology and linguistic barriers, time zone conflicts, and increased responsibilities, as well as ways in which online courses can encourage greater participation and interaction than you might see in an in-person course. We'll discuss ways to connect with and support international students in your online courses and a panel of faculty members who have taught online courses including international students will share their experiences and strategies for creating a positive learning environment.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Instructional Strategies (IS).

A teaching philosophy presents a faculty member’s reflection on the experiences and beliefs that shape his or her teaching and learning strategies. Often used as part of a job application, a promotion and tenure dossier, a teaching award nomination, or course syllabi, a teaching philosophy captures and documents a teacher’s values and aspirations in teaching. This webinar will review one model for structuring a teaching philosophy and will also examine some example philosophies. Webinar participants will take the first steps in articulating their teaching philosophy; those who have already begun to craft a philosophy will have an opportunity to continue that work. This webinar is the 1st webinar in a 3-webinar series designed to introduce faculty and graduate students to the process of creating, refining and documenting one’s teaching practices.
This webinar is one of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshops focused on foundational teaching skills, a series of webinars 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.

You will be assigned to a consultant based on your specific questions. Please expect to wait in the room’s waiting room as the host matches participants to consultants.
Main breakout room topics will be:
- Kaltura (video management, sharing, quizzing, and creation)
- Canvas (general questions and rubrics)
- Zoom (general overview)
- Accessibility
- CN Post
- Active Learning Activities
Drop in anytime during this 90 minute session. If you are not sure what you need help with, our Zoom host will happily direct you to the consultant who can best address your needs. These are considered “mini-consultations” in order to help answer quick questions you may have about a topic.

Civic learning is a form of integrative learning that supports students, as citizens and professionals, for lives of informed and active participation in society. Arguably, civic learning is an untapped dimension of much of the teaching we do in universities. Too often, it lies dormant inside many of our most common learning goals such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration and quantitative reasoning skills.
Making our courses “civic-rich” can support students to explore and examine their experiences in light of larger public purposes, adding relevance to concepts that can feel very abstract. In addition, civic learning can be cultivated using a variety of high impact practices in both F2F and hybrid course settings. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to relevantt frameworks and strategies to make civic learning visible in disciplinary and general education courses.

A syllabus is often the first impression that students form of a course, and it serves both faculty and student as a guide to and contract for the semester. A well-designed and personalized syllabus can help faculty set the proper tone while simultaneously helping them avoid having to repeatedly answer basic student questions about expectations, policies, and deadlines. This webinar will offer tips and considerations for effective syllabus design and show examples of syllabi from various disciplines in face-to-face and online classes.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, 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.

Documenting a teaching practice becomes much easier if the faculty member can situate the teaching practice amidst best practices, identifying when and how student learning occurs, and identify the kinds of evidence needed to document and measure student learning outcomes. This webinar helps faculty describe learning events for two major categories of student learning experiences. Webinar participants will take first steps to articulating a sequence of learning events for particular assignments. Afterward, faculty members may work with CTL consultants to continue planning efforts to document teaching practices. This webinar is the 2nd webinar in a 3-webinar series designed to introduce faculty and graduate students to the process of creating, refining and documenting one’s teaching practices.

This webinar will help instructors review and revise their course and session learning outcome statements to be effective, meaningful, and measurable and use them to guide instruction and learning. Participants will analyze examples of student learning outcome statements, write their own, and begin to complete a course map that articulates the alignment of their course learning outcome statements with learning activities and assessments.
