The CHAT Room is a virtual, informal space where faculty gather to discuss timely topics related to teaching. A different topic is discussed each month, with sessions offered at two different times each month to make it possible for more faculty to participate. Each one-hour CHAT Room discussion has 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 discussions are scheduled for the first week of each month on Tuesdays, 10:30-11:30 and Wednesdays, 1:30-2:30. If you would like to suggest a topic for a future CHAT room session, send the suggested topic to iuictl@iu.edu.
