You and your students may have navigated many unprecedented teaching and learning challenges this year due to the pandemic. We invite you to submit a proposal for a short (10-minute) virtual presentation focused on what you learned about your own teaching practices and your impact on students’ learning during the pandemic. The goal of these presentations is to bring forth promising practices and enable our campus community to develop a common understanding of challenges and solutions in the changed teaching and learning circumstances. In consideration of the many competing demands of the first week of the semester, we are extending the closing date for proposals through Tuesday, September 8. View the call for proposals for more information.
The October 9th Scholarly Teaching Symposium is an annual half-day event that fosters a culture of scholarly teaching and supports the scholarship of teaching and learning. It provides faculty with a venue to share their promising teaching practices and disseminate results of scholarly teaching interventions, such as the work of the Curriculum Enhancement Grant awardees.

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.

As IUPUI continues the process of reviewing general education courses, course coordinators or faculty responsible for preparing course dossiers for review may have questions about the information and materials that need to go into the dossiers. This webinar will provide an overview of the course review process, course dossier requirements, and the rubric that will be used to review the course dossiers. It will also address the option for preparing a simplified course dossier based on using a Mile Marker assignment. Examples from existing course dossiers will be incorporated into the webinar. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.

Zoom poses challenges for instructors who seek to ensure interaction and engagement among all students in a class—especially at class meetings that bring together in-person students with students joining via Zoom. In this webinar, participants will consider ways to adjust teaching practices, and to leverage Zoom features (such as polls and breakout rooms), to improve course content delivery and to support student engagement and learning.
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. 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 Technology (IT).

Join us to share your teaching successes and challenges during the pandemic! The AFTF happens on Zoom on Thursday, September 24, 2020 from, 5:15 to 8:00 p.m.
Organized as a series of conversations (forums), the Associate Faculty Teaching Forum offers an opportunity to join your colleagues from many departments to explore commonly encountered teaching issues and strategies at IUPUI, IUPU Columbus, and IU Fort Wayne.

Faculty who seek to refine and promote their teaching efforts may document their work through the development of a teaching portfolio, a site where faculty engage in reflective practice to measure the effectiveness of, and to refine, their teaching practices. This webinar introduces faculty to the teaching portfolio and to the several interrelated tasks that yield the teaching portfolio's elements: developing a teaching philosophy, identifying specific teaching practices to explore, document, and to improve, situating an identified teaching practices in an appropriate context, and collecting and evaluating evidence of teaching and learning.
