Fall 2011 Events:

Re-imagining the Classroom: Gear Up for UK Core

During the Fall 2011 semester, CELT will offer a series planned for gearing up for the UK Core. It will feature faculty members who are re-imagining their role in the classroom. This series is also appropriate for instructors of non-UK Core courses who want to explore alternative teaching strategies.

Re-imagining the Classroom: Gear Up for UK Core
Friday, August 26, 3:00pm to 4:30pm
Study Room 1, Lucille Little Fine Arts Library
Dr. Phil Kraemer, Chellgren Chair for Undergraduate Excellence and Professor of Psychology

The first workshop of this series provides an opportunity to discuss our role in the classroom and why an instructor might consider moving the presentation of content to an e-book or a podcast lecture. Professor Kraemer finds that this “hybrid” style of instruction allows face-to-face class time to be used for activities that require students to apply course content to real world situations. In this interactive session, we will brainstorm ideas for creating productive learning activities that encourage students to gain a deeper understanding of course materials.

Re-imagining the Classroom: Panel Presentation
Thursday, October 13, 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Patterson Office Tower, 18th Floor
Panel Presentation: Dr. Phil Harling, Dr. William Rayens, and Ms. Emily Dotson

This second workshop explores how faculty from the disciplines of History, Statistics, and Engineering are exploring ways to off load course content and use class time for discussion and application of content.

Re-imagining the Classroom: Implementing Team-Based Learning
Wednesday, November 16, 4:00pm to 5:30pm
Presented by Dr. April Richardson 359 Student Center

The last workshop in the Fall series demonstrates a teaching strategy used in an Anatomy and Neurobiology course whereby students complete a reading assignment prior to class, take an individual test on the content in class, and then work in groups to take the same exam during which time they can discuss their reasons for selecting their answers and argue their case if necessary.

Re-imagining the Lecture

Wednesday, October 12, 4:00pm to 5:30pm
347 Classroom Building
Kathryn Cunningham and Bill Burke, CELT

When content is presented in the classroom, what are various considerations and techniques for designing the most effective lecture?

Speed Dating for Service Learning

Wednesday, August 31, 9:00am to Noon
Student Center Small Ballroom

This is an opportunity to quickly meet with community partners from the local area. You will receive a binder that gives an overview of each community partner, have an opportunity to have casual conversations with potential community partners over a continental breakfast, and interview each partner for ten minutes. We have only six seats left in this fast-paced interactive session. No commitment to designing a service-learning course is required; however, if you would like to apply for the service-learning mini grant, this is a great opportunity to find a community partner.
