The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (CTLA) and its partners have several offerings designed to support OHIO faculty as they prepare for the first day of the Fall 2023 semester.
Virtual and in-person programs will cover the nuts and bolts of building an accessible syllabus and effective assignments to anticipating the needs of incoming and current students.
Teaching the Disrupted Learner: A Fall 2023 Kickoff, Aug. 22
Teaching the Disrupted Learner: A Fall 2023 Kickoff will take place on Tuesday, Aug. 22, from 9 - 11:30 a.m. in Baker University Center 240/242.
This program is designed for participants to adjust their own instructional practice to accommodate the needs of today's learners, while also supporting their academic success.
More than three years after COVID’s initial disruption of education, its ramifications continue to impact the higher education classroom. Student preparation, engagement skillsets and classroom expectations all differ markedly from what instructors could expect prior to the pandemic. In this workshop, faculty and instructional staff will share what they are experiencing in their classes, while students and student-facing staff will discuss challenges brought by the disruption.
