A six-session afternoon workshop on Writing Across the Curriculum facilitated by Shane Winterhalter and Eric Wolfe will be offered for faculty in June. This workshop is designed to enable faculty to focus intensively, and in collaboration with colleagues from across campus, on developing or redeveloping the writing component of a particular course or course sequence. Up to 10 faculty can be accommodated in this workshop, and participating faculty will receive stipends of $600 (subject to standard deductions).

Teaching with Technology Workshop (May 18, 19, 20, 21, 26 & 27 from 8:30 -12:00). Contact Lori Swinney with any questions at loriswinney@mail.und.nodak.edu

This 6 day seminar/workshop sponsored by OID and facilitated by CILT is designed for faculty interested in using technology to enhance traditional classroom teaching. This includes those who are just getting started using technology, those who are thinking about using it, and those who have used it in limited ways but want to reconsider how they are using it.  In this context, “technology” includes such things as course web sites (Blackboard), web research projects, tutorials and animations, social software (wikis, blogs, and journals), “clickers” (audience response system), SecondLife, podcasting and other audio and video enhancements.  Registration is limited to 10 faculty, and a $500 stipend (subject to standard deductions) is offered. The application deadline is April 8, 2009 (note extended deadline) and applications information is available here.

Assignments and Assessments for Significant Learning (Follow up Workshop on Significant Course Design) May 19, 20 & 21 from 1-4. Please contact Anne Kelsch (anne_kelsch@und.nodak.edu or 7-4233) to ask any questions.

This three afternoon workshop facilitated by Anne Kelsch and Joan Hawthorne is a follow up offered for faculty who participated in the Creating Significant Learning Through Integrated Course Design Workshop in February and would like an opportunity to continue the work they began. The sessions will focus on articulating student learning outcomes and designing assignments that advance those outcomes and assessments that gage them. Participants will receive complimentary copies of books on classroom assessment techniques and rubric design. The registration deadline is May 1, 2009.
