Faculty writing retreats

For Spring 2021, we have simplified the virtual writing retreat sign-up process. Each month, we will have a two-day session with day-long Zoom rooms open. People may drop in and out as they please and work together virtually for as long as they like. Each Zoom link will be good for both days of each month’s retreat. We will schedule any workshops or special activities during the same Zoom meetings. Please send an email with any questions or feedback.

Attend the virtual online course development boot camp

Next session: May 17–28, 10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.

The boot camp is an immersive-style experience providing you hands-on training and a structured process for developing an online course. You will have the opportunity to participate in the boot camp through an online experience much like students do when taking an online class. The boot camp will include:

  • Best practices related to online courses and teaching
  • Technology tools that are used in online teaching (lecture capture, test proctoring tools, and others)
  • How to translate learning activities to the online classroom and create opportunities for student collaboration and engagement
  • Legal and ethical issues associated with online teaching such as copyright, accessibility, and academic integrity
