The Just-in-Time Course Design: A Faculty Learning Experience is a badged professional development opportunity for faculty interested in learning more about teaching online, in-person with physical distancing, or a mix of online and in-person as they prepare for Fall 2020. Participants will select from a variety of learning experiences which will be completed independently and include activities such as live and recorded webinars, online resources, readings, and application assignments in a Canvas site. Application assignments will require creating materials for their own courses and completing a reflection on their work.
IUPUI, IUPUC, and IU Fort Wayne instructors interested in earning the Just-in-Time Course Design Badge and the associated $500 professional development funds are eligible to register for the experience. Those registered will be added to the Canvas site which will open on July 14, 2020. Click here to learn more and register for the experience.

This session introduces faculty and graduate students to the practice of documenting one’s teaching. Participants will examine different kinds of evidence and documents to capture, and to make the case for, teaching achievements. Participants will consider how to shape their evolution as teachers through the use of many kinds of documents that include—but do not rely on—student evaluations of teaching. This webinar is the 3rd 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@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. 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.

The Academic Calendar for 2020-21 introduces two 3-week online intensive scheduling blocks at IUPUI. While not every course will be suitable for delivery in this new format, with careful consideration, planning, and implementation, departments or programs may wish to offer select courses in this manner. This workshop identifies the benefits and challenges of offering intensive online courses; discusses the criteria for selecting courses to consider offering in this format; and outlines faculty, student, logistical, and instructional considerations in developing and delivering these types of courses. Resources and examples will be provided, along with an opportunity to participate in a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning project focusing on 3-week intensive online courses.

Will you or your students be in a classroom at any point during this fall semester? Do you have questions about how you will teach, how your students will engage, or how your class meetings might be different? The purpose of this webinar is to give you an opportunity to begin addressing questions and framing your approach to student engagement and general logistics for classroom meetings this fall based on the new classroom protocols and potential disruptions to in-person class meetings throughout the semester. Webinar facilitators will share some scenarios of student engagement strategies for various classroom contexts.
If you have specific questions about this topic that you’d like the webinar facilitators to address, please respond to the prompt soliciting questions at the time of webinar registration.
This session is part of the Tips and Strategies to Promote Student Learning and Engagement During COVID-19 Professional Development Series sponsored by the Institute for Engaged Learning, IUPUI.

So, you know what you want your students to learn, and you’ve developed assignments to get them there. But, do you know what makes certain assignments work well and others not so much? We begin with these questions to reveal the ways of thinking that your discipline values and that the kinds of learning you expect of your students. This webinar will ask you to examine how students learn in your course, the underlying processes required for that learning, and the corresponding learning activities (assignments) and assessments used to facilitate and reveal that learning. You will also be able to situate your teaching within well-understood conceptions of how learning works. Be prepared to discuss a learning activity, assignment, or assessment from your course.

Diversity and inclusion play an important role in promoting student learning. Today’s college students are increasingly diverse compared to prior generations. Traditional teaching strategies have also been shown to lead to lower academic achievement for underserved students compared to majority students even when differences in GPA and other factors are controlled for. By considering the diversity of the classroom and implementing equitable teaching strategies, instructors can increase student learning and sense of belonging for all students, not just those who are underserved. In this webinar, participants will learn how to leverage student diversity and incorporate inclusive teaching strategies in their classrooms. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
