Fall 2009
New
Faculty Program (Closed
Enrollment)
Monday, August 31, 2009
Ken Bain, Vice Provost for
Instruction, Professor, History, Director, RAUL
Where:
University Hall, ADP Center, Room 1120
A day-long discussion about teaching at
Montclair presented by the Research Academy. Dr. Ken Bain, Vice Provost
for Instruction, Professor of History, and Director, Research Academy
for University Learning and Dr. James Zimmerman, Associate Director,
Research Academy will focus on such issues as (1) what it means to
learn, (2) how best to cultivate that learning, (3) how teachers and
students can best understand the progress of that learning, and (4) how
teachers can measure their contributions to that learning. It will be
an opportunity to share experiences (both positive and negative) and to
explore some of the implications of the research and theoretical
literature on university learning. Tentatively, they are planning to
explore cutting edge ideas about how to structure a syllabus, how to
think about deep versus surface learning, and how to create a natural
critical learning environment, but they also want to include other
issues that are important to all educators.
Closed enrollment.

Ingredients for Successful Hybrid and Online Course Construction (OPEN
Enrollment)

12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
James Zimmerman, Associate Director, RAUL,
Associate Professor of Chemistry
Where:
Sprague
Library, Classroom 31 (downstairs)
In response to persistent faculty inquiries, James Zimmerman, Associate Director of the Research Academy for University Learning will conduct a workshop entitled "Ingredients for Successful Hybrid and Online Course Construction". Participants in the workshop will leave with an enhanced understanding of four broad characteristics typically found in hybrid and online courses that encourage students to take a deep approach to their learning. The workshop will expose participants to ways in which these characteristics have been interpreted in a range of academic disciplines and provide an opportunity for participants to explore how these ideas can inform their own practice. For those seeking to transition their classrooms into an online or blended learning environment, specific steps will be introduced to begin that process.
We anticipate continuing this conversation with additional workshops in the Spring (February 11th and March 11th). Attendance at all workshops is not mandatory.
