Time: 10:50 a.m. to 11:40 a.m.

In this workshop, the importance of preparation by completing a needs analysis and creating learning outcomes will be explored. The participants will examine suggested elements in a lesson plan as well as an effective lesson plan template. The plan will identify what you will teach, how you will deliver the material, and how the outcomes are measured.

This session will enable participants to design and implement an effective lesson plan to meet the diverse needs of learners.

Time: 6:05 p.m. - 7 p.m.

Active dialogue. Faculty continuously desire and attempt to create moments of active dialogue with their students. Within the classroom, that task can be easily achieved, but what about outside of the classroom? Why should the discussion end once the students leave the classroom? Social media tools can help in promoting and continuing the classroom discussion online, using highly accessible, creative, web 2.0 tools such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and Wordpress.

Join this workshop to learn more about how social media can help keep the active dialogue going outside of the classroom.

As teachers interested in creating and using meaningful assignments, we consider what we expect our assignments to accomplish. Do we also design an assignment that motivates, engages and shifts our students’ attitudes about the assignment? Join us for a discussion on easy approaches to creating valuable experiences for all involved.

Time: 9:55 a.m. - 4:15 a.m.

Learn how to mine your industry contacts for engaging cases you can use as teaching tools to get students to apply their learning to real-world problems. This workshop will walk you through the process of writing your first case, from selecting an appropriate contact to conducting the interview(s) and shaping the narrative of the case to fit particular learning objectives. We will also prepare the case for publication with a teaching note.

In order to complete the workshop, participants must have a contact they want to interview during the week of the workshop.

Participants are required to have previous experience teaching or learning with cases, either through classroom experience or workshops on teaching cases.  For more information, please contact the Centre for Teaching and Learning at ext. 5040.
