Talk with your colleagues about spaces in your school that could be used to reinforce your curriculum and build community among students, faculty, and staff. Contact Douglas Jerolimov (djerolim@iupui.edu) at the CTL to discuss your ideas. See the LEG website for more information and to download the RFP.

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.

Did you miss the opportunity last summer or spring to participate in this popular faculty learning community? Two Small Teaching Online (or Anywhere)Faculty Learning Communities (5 sessions each) will be held this summer. The goals of the FLC are to strengthen community among teaching colleagues, increase confidence and skill in applying online and general teaching strategies, and provide an opportunity to document professional development in teaching. Flower Darby’s book, Small Teaching Online: Applying Learning Science in Online Classes will serve as a guide to generate reflection and discussion. Each FLC will be capped at 10 participants. All participants will receive a free copy of the book.
Lisa Contino will facilitate this FLC which will meet weekly beginning Thursday, July 8, 10:30-11:30 and ending August 5. Lisa is a senior lecturer emerita in psychology and a faculty fellow in the Center for Teaching and Learning at IUPUI.
This FLC will also be offered on Tuesdays, 12:30 – 1:30 p.m., from June 15 to July 13.

Collaborative learning is associated with higher academic achievement and student engagement, in both in-person and online learning environments, and has been found to have a positive impact on a wide variety of students. In this webinar, participants will examine challenges faced by students and faculty in using collaborative techniques, learn about best practices to overcome these challenges, and discuss examples for implementing and assessing collaborative learning techniques for the online and in-person learning contexts.
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 Strategies (IS).

The CHAT Room: Conversations Happening Around Teaching is a virtual, informal space where faculty can gather to discuss timely topics related to teaching. There will be a different topic each month. Each one-hour CHAT Room discussion will have a faculty facilitator and a CTL host. At the beginning of the session, the host introduces the topic and the facilitator, who then talks briefly about the topic and facilitates open discussion for the remainder of the hour. The room will open 10-15 minutes early for people to socialize. Following the facilitated discussion, a CTL host will direct the participants to resources pertaining to the topic.
The July topic is "What to keep when you return to face-to-face teaching?"

Would you like to learn about how the practice of curriculum mapping can help maintain your program’s accreditation or improve student learning outcomes? Curriculum mapping helps you gain greater clarity about what students are expected to learn in your program, and in which courses. Mapping makes visible the gaps and redundancies of your program’s curriculum, and is the first step to assessing your program’s effectiveness in bringing about student learning. Join us for this introductory webinar on curriculum mapping!
