What role would you like to play in organizing this workshop? I’m interested in organizing a workshop on this topic.
Intended Audience: Professors and Instructional Designers
Proposal:
The session focuses on three instructional practices essential to student learning. Intentional use of design elements that prioritizes students talking to each other, making decisions about learning (choice), and engaging in visible thinking shifts learning from teacher centered to student centered. This webinar shares resources and approaches on how to do this successfully.
Learning Objectives:
Instructional design that emphasizes student voice, choice, and thinking.
Expanding instructional toolkit of educators
Examine ways of incorporating student centered practices in classes
Event Type: Online workshop - two 1.5 hour sessions (3 hours)
Track: Teaching & Learning (2025-26)
