The CTL's Learning Environments Grant (LEG) program offers up to $25,000 per award to create inclusive and effective learning spaces at IUPUI, IUPUC, and IU Fort Wayne. First, talk with colleagues at your school about spaces that may be changed to improve student learning inclusively, and to build community among students, faculty, and staff. Then 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. Full proposals are due by September 22, 2022, but preliminary ideas must be submitted in a Capital Projects Request for Service form no later than June 22, 2022. Act now! It’s almost June 22!

Each learning community will have five, 75-minute sessions and be capped at 10 participants. Registration is open to anyone in a teaching role at IUPUI, IUPUC, and IUFW, and each participant will receive a copy of the book.

Transparent assignment designs have been proven to motivate increased student effort and to promote student success. Clarification and elaboration of an assignments’ purpose, task, and grading criteria works to scaffold student learning activities. Doing so helps all students, but especially students from underserved populations and students who are unfamiliar with college success strategies. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to the transparent design framework, analyze sample transparent assignments, and will begin drafting or revising a transparent assignment.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s webinar series focused on foundational teaching skills, 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.

Rubrics make grading consistent and speedy, and increases transparency of assignments to students. Rubrics also make concrete a course’s and assignment’s learning objectives, which helps students become critical thinkers and to assess their own work. In this webinar, you will learn basic principles to streamline the creation of rubrics for equitable and effective assessment of student learning. You will also evaluate and discuss the merits of sample rubrics.

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!
