Upcoming TLT Group Online Workshop in November

Back in the spring, I facilitated a three-part online workshop on teaching with clickers for the TLT Group for an audience of faculty members, instructional developers, and educational technologists.  (I blogged about a few good ideas that emerged from the workshop.)  The feedback on the workshop was great, and the TLT Group has invited me to run the workshop again next month.  This online workshop will use the Adobe Connect webinar platform and will run from 2 to 3 p.m. on November 3, 10, and 17.  (Those are the first three Tuesdays in November.)  We’ll address the following topics, among others:

• Writing multiple-choice questions that effectively engage students in deep learning during class, moving them beyond memorization and surface learning
• Using clickers to foster more critical, and thus more meaningful, peer assessment of student work
• Encouraging students to learn about and appreciate diverse points of view through well-chosen student perspective clicker questions
• Helping students use their mobile devices (cell phones, laptops, and so on) in productive (and not distracting) ways during class as part of classroom response systems

I’m working to line up some guests for these sessions–experienced users of classroom response systems as well as those doing research on clickers.  I’ll announce those guests here when I have them lined up.
