Calling all innovative educators who are looking to try out some new strategies in their teaching. Cutting EDge is back! In Version 2.0, our theme is "Group work: Redesigned, Redefined".
What IS Cutting EDge?
Cutting EDge is a research project where faculty come together to learn new innovative teaching strategies/tools/techniques focused around a theme. Once faculty have mastered the new strategies, they deploy them in their classrooms, with on-site support from the CTL's Professional Learning and e-Learning teams. Then, the CTL's Research team gathers evidence from faculty and their students on the impact of the innovative new teaching approaches.

Welcome to the Scholars' Cafe! This is a new CTL initiative this fall. It's a chance to meet with other faculty over coffee, to discuss the latest in the teaching and learning literature. It's like a book club, but for journal articles.
The Scholars' Cafe will meet at 10 a.m. on the first Friday of each month (with the exception of September, which is on the second Friday), and engage in informal discussion about a selected paper from the teaching and learning literature.
This month's paper is called "Creating Masterpieces: How Course Structures and Routines Enable Student Performance", and can be accessed here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/1052562912474894#articleShareContainer. In this paper, the authors explore different ways to set students up for success, by considering a number of variables, including engagement, age, technology, and cognitive factors.
Please join us for coffee and a collegial discussion on Friday, September 8 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. in D225I (North Campus).
