This half-day preconference workshop is designed around practical strategies for bringing to life the "Seven Principles for Good Practice in Undergraduate Education" by Chickering and Gamson.
The principles include fostering collaboration among students, using active learning techniques, giving prompt feedback, and responding to diverse learning modes.
Among the practical strategies discussed will be using clickers, finding engaging video clips, creating small groups for discovery and presentation, and involving faculty in the planning and teaching.
Half-day preconference; pricing details to be announced.
