Teaching and learning during the pandemic poses unprecedented challenges, including the possibility for disruptions—whether you are teaching in-person, synchronously on Zoom, or completely asynchronously online. This webinar will present various scenarios of disruptions and recommendations to prevent and manage them in different teaching modes.  

This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online webinar series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching Foundations Webinar Series (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. 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)

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.

Good assessment practices include checking students’ learning on a regular basis during the learning experience. They provide faculty with feedback on what, how much, and how well their students are learning. Instructors can use this feedback to modify their teaching to improve student learning. It helps students reflect on their learning and identify gaps in their knowledge. In this webinar, participants will learn the difference between formative and summative assessment as well as how to implement formative assessment techniques in different teaching contexts and disciplines. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.
