The CTLA’s Ramp Up to Instruction workshop provides OHIO faculty with dedicated time to implement valuable refinements to the courses they’re teaching this semester. Ramp Up to Instruction consists of two sessions over two days. Instructors may choose between an online or face-to-face version of the workshop.

Day 1 focuses on the critical topic of student engagement and how increasing engagement might help learners address the most crucial or challenging topics and tasks in a course. The second day focuses on instructional, module and assignment design informed by first-day efforts. Participants are welcome to attend either or both sessions.

During Ramp Up Day 1: A Focus on Student Engagement, participants will

• Define student engagement and ways of measuring engagement.
• Connect student engagement to student sense of belonging and student learning.
• Review evidence-based strategies for increasing student engagement in their courses.
• Determine the engagement strategies most relevant to their upcoming courses.
• Consider how to increase student engagement around the most crucial learning tasks in their courses.

The Ramp Up to Instruction will be offered BOTH in-person and online via Teams.  This registration is for the online workshop.  To register for the in-person version, please  follow this link .

Ramp Up to Instruction will meet from 2 to 4 pm on Monday, August 19 and Tuesday, August 20.  Participants are welcome to register even if they can only attend one of the two sessions. 

This event helps instructors address the Preparation, Engagement, and Innovation components of OHIO's Teaching Excellence Framework.
