Registration for this session closes on Thursday, June 4 at 5 PM.

Whether we’re teaching online, in-person, or somewhere in between, there are principles and processes foundational to effective, efficient, and inclusive teaching that we can all share. Join colleagues for a one-day, online program that will highlight these foundations—the core of our popular summer course design institute, jmUDESIGN. This new program is designed to help you ground your instructional choices in the scholarship of teaching and learning. Throughout the sessions, you will have the opportunity to participate in a range of activities that you can apply to your own teaching contexts.

Register now for one, several, or all short, synchronous sessions occurring on Thursday, June 11th. There may be additional opportunities to participate, depending on faculty interest and facilitator availability.

  • Formulating significant learning objectives;
  • Developing formative and summative assessments that map onto learning objectives;
  • Applying evidence-demonstrated practices to design a learner-centered course;
  • Engaging in meta-cognitive reflection of teaching; and
  • Fostering relationships amongst colleagues across disciplines, colleges, and ranks.

We want this program to be welcoming, accessible, and inclusive for all of our participants.
