Spring 2019
More Details
Workshop Description:
One of the greatest challenges for the higher education curriculum and for higher education teaching and learning is helping students make connections between assignments, between courses, and between disciplines. To be successful in the 21st century workplace, today’s college students must be taught how to be highly flexible, integrative, and adaptive lifelong learners. This session will highlight interdisciplinary teaching and learning practices which have been shown to result in integrative learning. In addition to pedagogies and course design practices grounded in what we empirically know about learning, this session will also focus on instructional practices that bridge courses, including ePortfolios which many argue may be the best strategy for fostering integrative knowledge. Those who attend this session will have new ways to reimagine their courses
