Winter Course (Re)design Institute
- When: Wednesday January 08, 2025 from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
- Location: Krupp Library
Do you have a course you plan to design or redesign?
Set aside dedicated time to develop and refine your course with support from the Center for Teaching Excellence (CTE), Krupp Library, the Academic Center for Excellence (ACE), and the Office of Accessibility Services (OAS).
Do you want to learn how to integrate accessibility into your courses more effectively?
Special support will also be provided for work on making your courses more accessible for all through 1:1 and small group consultations with Dr. Liz Norell. Targeted support in accessibility could include creating safe spaces for social interaction/group work, designing accessible presentation rubrics, creating accessible expectations for participation, among other activities and policy development. Liz serves as Associate Director of Instructional Support in the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL) at the University of Mississippi. Liz is passionate about equitable, inclusive teaching; boosting awareness of disability in higher educational settings; constructive conversations across differences; and fostering meaningful learning.
You can find Liz on her web site: Liz Norell.
Previous events
In November, we had the pleasure of hosting Kevin Gannon, Director of the Center for the Advancement of Faculty Excellence (CAFE) and Professor of History at Queens University of Charlotte, for our Fall Faculty Forum. This three-part event featured a lively discussion of Kevin’s book Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto, which advocates for reclaiming higher education as a space for transformative learning; a workshop that pushed us to rethink what student engagement and connection can look like; and a keynote that encouraged us to re-evaluate the concept of rigor for a new generation of learners. We’re deeply grateful to Kevin for his thought-provoking insights and to everyone who participated in making the forum a success.
