Description:
An online, facilitated, asynchronous short course on using a combination of instructional techniques and low- to medium-stakes early assessments to prepare students for success throughout your course. Approaches include priming students’ interest in course subject matter, promoting an effective learning environment, and preparing students to succeed on high-stakes assignments. This short course aligns with the Classroom Climate and Feedback and Assessment domains of the TILT Teaching Effectiveness Framework. Participant time: 12 hours over 3 weeks. While the course is asynchronous, there are due dates throughout the three weeks to which participants should adhere.
