Do you wish that you could write more? How about writing more clearly, efficiently, and easily? This four-week workshop explores the importance of effective reading, maintaining writing momentum, and responding to peer reviews. In the first week of this workshop, we will learn techniques to improve your writing habits. In the second, we will develop the skills to create an efficient outline for your research articles and/or grant proposals. In the third week, we will use templates and compelling examples to write Abstracts, Methods, and Results sections that are effective and powerful. In our last week, we will learn how to craft revisions and formidable responses to reviewers. With sample articles, templates, and readings, among other things, the practical workshop will encourage writing habits and offer guidance on submission, review, revision, and publication.

Participants of this workshop will receive a copy of the book, “The Scientist’s Guide to Writing,” by Stephen Heard.

Procrastination is a common challenge for students, often leading to stress, rushed work, and diminished learning outcomes. This workshop equips faculty with practical strategies to support students in mastering time management, boosting productivity, and adopting effective study habits. Participants will explore research-backed approaches to combat procrastination, such as goal-setting techniques, structured scheduling, and focus-enhancing methods.

From 10:00am-12:00pm in K301

Presented by: Dr. Michael Marino & Dr. Fran Wisnewski

See It, Hear It, Touch It, Smell It, Taste It—Teach It! Unlock the power of multisensory learning and discover how engaging multiple senses can transform your teaching and captivate your students like never before.

In this workshop, you will be immersed in thought-provoking mini-lessons in history, science, math, English, and business. In science, for example, you will determine the concentration of an unknown acid using the smell of garlic powder as an olfactory indicator. In math, you will use hands-on manipulatives to work with numbers that are otherwise two-dimensional figures on paper. Creative teaching lessons like this provided unique opportunities for our students to experience innovative design with accessible components for all learners. After we experience multisensory learning through mini-lessons, we will brainstorm lesson plans that incorporate multiple senses in a variety of content areas. By the end of this workshop, you will have at least one new idea on how to add multisensory components to engage your students. This workshop is for any educator looking for creative and innovative teaching methods and pedagogy in the classroom with multisensory elements.

Thursday, June 5th

From 12:00pm via Zoom

Presented by: Jason Schoen, M.A.T. Instructional Designer

How accessible is your online course content? If you are still using files of scanned book pages or old PowerPoints from the textbook company, it may be less accessible than you realize. You have invested time and effort in curating materials for your courses; so naturally, you want all students to be capable of engaging with those materials. 

Participants will examine common course material accessibility issues, tools available to remediate them and microcredential opportunities for faculty who commit to ensuring the accessibility of their students’ course experience. 

Note: Participation in this workshop counts toward the workshop requirement to earn the Digital Accessibility for Educators (DAE) Badge.

Do you wish you had more ways to engage students with hands-on activities that lead to impactful lessons? Have you ever heard about a flipped classroom? Are you curious but not sure where to start? Join this interactive, hands-on workshop to experience a flipped classroom firsthand and walk away with a ready-to-use flipped lesson for your course. This two-hour interactive workshop introduces college-level instructors to the flipped classroom model by immersing them in the experience. Participants will engage with pre-workshop materials, experience a flipped lesson firsthand, and collaborate to design their own flipped lesson. By the end, you will understand the benefits and challenges of flipped classrooms and leave with a structured lesson plan to implement in your courses.

In this workshop, you will:

• Engage in a flipped learning experience
• Discover best practices and strategies for effective implementation
• Collaborate with peers to design a flipped lesson tailored to your subject
