Join us for the first of three virtual discussion groups that we’ll host in Blackboard Collaborate during the Spring of 2018.

This month, participants will discuss the lecture, which is a strategy well-suited to sharing knowledge with students who are new to a particular topic or field of study (i.e., in courses heavy on content coverage). Our pre-discussion “reading” will be a recording of a workshop led by Dr. Christine Harrington, who recently published a book titled, "Dynamic Lecturing."

During the discussion, you and your colleagues will discuss questions such as the following:

• Which of the strategies are you most likely to use and why
• What other strategies you’ve used to ensure students are critically engaged during lectures
• Roadblocks to implementing micro-activities in the lecture

Join us Feb. 21 individually or as a department to contribute to the dialogue!

Facilitator: Natalie Parker
