Faculty & Instructor Roundtable: Partnering with Columbia University Libraries on Remote Research-Assignment Design and Learning
August 18, 2020
1:00 PM–4:00 PM
Online Event Zoom
This workshop is aimed at instructors who are planning to teach hybrid/online courses this fall, particularly those faculty teaching in the humanities and social sciences. Participants can drop in for all or part of the session. The presenters will offer some grounding philosophies and general approaches to facilitating online learning, alongside more directed strategies, tools, and techniques for teaching with digital archives or other research materials, as well as suggestions for constructing alternative assignments. These are unprecedented times, which present new challenges to effective teaching, but also provide valuable opportunities to reflect upon and rethink our teaching: to connect with students and the current moment in a variety of ways; to reconsider the kinds of questions our classes ask; and to foster equity and access throughout.
Time
(Tuesday) 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
