Working Session Descriptions

Team and Project based learning

Team and project based learning are modern forms of enabling students tolearn more quickly in collaborative environments. Beyond the benefits in thespeed of student learning, team and project based instruction has additionalbenefits of providing professional skills such as how to work with others.Developing and running a team or project based course is challenging,however, as students can learn at different rates; must rely on others to learn;and are difficult to assess. This workshop plans to address these topics viasome reading/videos before the workshop, and team based activities workingthrough some of the most common challenges in team and project based

learning.

Flipping the classroom

According to Wikipedia, “A flipped classroom is an instructional strategy and atype of blended learning that reverses the traditional learning environment bydelivering instructional content, often online, outside of the classroom. Itmoves activities, including those that may have traditionally been consideredhomework, into the classroom.” There are two dimensions on which flippedclassrooms can be categorized: the proportion of a class session devoted tothe in-class activity and the proportion of class sessions where in-classactivities are used. This workshop will focus on uber-flipped classrooms(UFCs), where both proportions are high.

In preparing for the workshop, attendees will be expected to think about howthey might use UFCs in one of their courses. As well, they will be expected tocomplete a survey about their experiences with and interest in applying UFCs.Session time will be devoted to a summary of the survey results and smallgroup discussion of issues using UFCs. As the workshop leader, I will share myexperiences with UFCs and how they have transformed my approach toeducation.

Case based learning

Case based learning engages students in discussion of specific scenarios thatresemble or typically are real-world examples. This method is learner-centered with intense interaction between participants as they build theirknowledge and work together as a group. The instructor's role is that of afacilitator while the students collaboratively analyze and address problemsand resolve questions that have no single right answer. Case base learninghas three goals: i) To provide students with a relevant opportunity to puttheory into practice; ii) to have students practice critical thinking skills toanalyze data and strategic issues in order to reach a conclusion, iii) To developstudents communication and collaborative skills along with contentknowledge.

This session will use a case to have participants experience case basedlearning and be able to discuss its potential relevance to their courses andstudents. Participants will be asked to prepare for the session by reading andassessing a business case. During the session we will discuss the case andhow it can serve to help student learning.

Working Session Descriptions

Feedback in the Learning Environment

Feedback is a fundamental skill for any faculty member who interactswith any learner. This workshop is learner centered with case basedscenarios for faculty to practice the skill in different situations in smallgroups.

Learning objectives: Define feedback and its importance, Identifybarriers to providing feedback, Identify effective characteristics offeedback, Know how to set the stage for feedback, Know and be able touse ADAPT

Aligned assessment to improve student learning

Assessment of student work is often seen as a measure of learning,rather than as an essential part of learning itself. However, the designof assessment that is both aligned to desired course learning outcomesand relevant to real-world application are central to how and whatstudents learn. Assessment for whole courses, with opportunities forfeedback, must be planned and made clear to students at the beginningof a course to support better learning.

This activity-based workshop will engage participants in thinking aboutwhole-course assessment design by: Working backwards from expectedcourse outcomes to assessment design (the concept of alignment),Providing opportunities for formative assessment and continuousfeedback, Using the SOLO taxonomy for generating grading criteria fordifferent levels of student performance, Thinking of assessment designin terms of real-world practice
