Showcase Session (open to all faculty and staff)

No time to innovate?  Choose four pedagogical techniques to “speed date” and consider for your classroom. 

In this round-robin style session, participants will choose four tables to visit to learn about an innovative tool or technique to try in their own classrooms and online course environments.  Learn about things like the ILC Template for USAonline courses, creating transparent assignments, interleaving of course content to increase student learning, making content accessible, designing clicker questions and others. Participants will leave with ideas and content handouts from each of the tables they visit.
