This summer, the EDC wants to help you introduce experiential learning into a course (existing or in development) in ways that are informed by both educational research and the concrete practice of your peers.

At our summer institute, you’ll take part in hands-on activities and receive feedback from facilitators and peers as you hone your abilities to:

  • Create an experiential learning opportunity that aligns with your course’s learning outcomes;
  • Design learning and assignment activities using effective practices for experiential learning; and
  • Develop assessment strategies and tools to evaluate experiential learning.

The summer institute runs from July 18-20 from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. There are only a few spots remaining, so don’t miss your chance to participate – register today!

Discover how to create inclusivity in the classroom /tls/2016/discover-create-inclusivity-classroom/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=discover-create-inclusivity-classroom&utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=discover-create-inclusivity-classroom Tue, 28 Jun 2016 13:01:26 +0000 http://carleton.ca/edc/?p=18838 Inclusivity is one of the core values adopted by many post-secondary institutions, including ĐÓ°ÉÔ­´´. Our challenge as educators is to relate these values to everyday teaching practices.

Join us from August 2-4 for our summer institute – A Classroom for All Students – and discover how to create an inclusive environment in your classes.

By the end of this three-day interactive institute, you’ll be able to:

  • Identify barriers to, and facilitators of, inclusivity across areas of course design
  • Evaluate inclusive modes of assessments, learning activities, and facilitation practices
  • Use diversity/inclusivity as a framework to assess your own teaching practices
  • Apply the principles of universal design to create/re-design an assessment, learning activity, or facilitation practice

The sessions run from 9:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. each day. A light lunch will be provided.

Space is limited, so !
