Improve Your Teaching & Student Learning With Classroom Research
Participants will explore the landscape of Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) and brainstorm potential research goals, questions, and data for their own course. Applied learning research support services and resources such as survey/rubric design, video observations, consent forms, and umbrella IRB will be shared.
Date: Wednesday, November 17
Time: 2:00-3:15 p.m.
Presenter: Alex Ambrose, Director of Learning Research, Emily Donahoe, Postdoctoral Fellow, and Dominique Vargas, Postdoctoral Fellow, ND Learning | Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence
Decolonizing Your Curriculum II: Syllabus Workshop
In this session, participants will be asked to bring a syllabus they wish to “decolonize” in a workshop setting. They will have the opportunity to revise existing course policies for equity and inclusion, explore methods for diversifying course content, and articulate their goals for generating a classroom community. Because “decolonizing the curriculum” is a process that requires continual revision, we will begin workshopping our ideas with other attendees while also creating an individual action plan for future practice.
Date: Thursday, November 18
Time: 3:00-4:15 p.m.
Presenter: Alex Oxner, former Assistant Director for Inclusive Pedagogy, and Dominique Vargas, Postdoctoral Fellow, ND Learning | Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence
Using Vocareum with Canvas for Teaching with Jupyter Notebooks
This workshop is for anyone teaching a computational intensive course looking for an efficient environment where students can receive programming assignments and do their work in an integrated Jupyter notebook that also integrates with the Canvas LMS. Fred Nwanganga will share his experience teaching Python in Mendoza’s Coding Fundamentals course and Alex Dowling from Chemical and Biochemical Engineering will share his experiences teaching Numerical and Statistical Analysis using Vocareum.
Date: Thursday, November 18
Time: 1:00-2:15 p.m.
Presenter: Fred Nwanganga, Mendoza College of Business, and Alex Dowling, College of Engineering
