Low-Threshold Approach to Faculty Development
The TLT Group is
offering a pilot of a workshop on creating '5 minute
workshops'. '5 minute workshops' and eClips (multimedia
segments of 1-5 minutes) are ways for faculty to share
ideas for improving teaching. The workshop, co-sponsored
by George Washington University and offered on the GW
campus, will be an opportunity for up to 20 people
to develop their own '5 minute workshops' and eClips,
while also working together to understand the potential
and limitations of this new faculty development medium.
The workshop is designed for faculty developers and also
for faculty. The participants will be using well
developed materials and a curriculum while helping shape
future workshops. Any institution which sends
someone to this workshop will have the opportunity to be
involved as this initiative develops.
PILOT
WORKSHOP - SUMMER, 2007
August 31, 2007;
Friday 9:30am to 2pm
AND 2-3
pm ONLINE FOLLOW-UP
In
this age of too much to do, too little time, 5-minute
clips and brief hybrid workshops provide an attractive
solution for exploring current options for teaching and
learning with technology. Design, development,
production, and sharing of "5-min hybrid workshops" is a
superb vehicle for advancing and supporting many
important kinds of faculty development, training, as
well as course-improvement activities.
Each
participant will be enabled, supported, and expected to
produce at least one brief (5-Minute) hybrid Workshop
and to offer constructive criticism to colleagues.
Participants will begin designing, producing, sharing,
and constructively criticizing examples during the
face-to-face meeting. Each individual
participant will be also expected to provide direct
feedback about the workshop itself and to participate in
at least two online follow-up sessions.
We
will:
1. introduce ideas, examples and a rapidly growing body
of related resources
2. provide a structure and materials for developing
plans, developing assessments, and developing
multi-media clips for activities
3. encourage and enable participants to share relevant
ideas and examples face-to-face and online
4. continue this work by having participants join weekly
online and hybrid activities already begun.
