With the start of the fall semester just around the corner, we know instructors have been busy preparing and planning how to deliver their courses. There are several virtual teaching tools and strategies available, and we want to provide you with an opportunity to dive deeper into how you may consider establishing a virtual learning community this fall.

As a result, it is challenging to strike a balance between workload and supporting students, particularly in remote learning environments.

Community Engaged Teaching and Learning (CETL) meaningfully integrates and aligns community-identified priorities and course learning outcomes. Many mutually beneficial partnerships exist between faculty, students, and community, but what does meaningful CETL look like as we transition to remote learning environments?

This interactive workshop will explore how to you can use active and collaborative learning techniques to support both what and how your students learn. Active learning exists on a continuum, and while it does require instructors to decide how best to adopt various approaches, it can be used in a variety of settings to effectively support student development. In this session, we hope to debunk some of the myths about active learning while providing you with tangible resources and strategies for you to consider in your own teaching approaches.
