incivility

Many faculty members have commented on an increased trend toward incivility in the classroom. This has also been noted in the national literature in higher education.  The purpose of this session is two fold:
1. To have faculty share effective strategies for dealing with incivility in the classroom
2. To learn what recourse faculty have when dealing with incidents of incivility

Please come and share your experiences with colleagues.

CELT Workshop

The fastest-growing digital communication phenomena are location-based geosocial media and augmented reality. Geosocial platforms like Foursquare, Gowalla and SCVNGR find users checking in, connecting and exchanging information about sites from bars to beaches, cafes to college campuses. Even the biggest social media player is involved with the launch of Facebook Places. Augmented reality applications like Layar and Yelp provide additional layers of user-provided information projected onto the world around you.

Busting the Myths of Assessment

Does the word assessment send you into a panic? Do you have concerns about assessing student learning?

Please join us for an open and honest discussion about what's fact and what's fiction regarding the assessment process.

Assisting students that experience drug or alcohol abuse issues

Student success is hinged on many factors. One of these factors is the abuse of alcohol and other drugs. While recent data (Faculty CORE2010) tells us that faculty are concerned about drugs and academics, we are also finding that many faculty members may not be sure of what their role is in helping students, or even how to identify a drug and alcohol related problem in the classroom.
