Description

This term, join Brenna from LT&I to talk about how we rebuild the university to be a better, more equitable, and more engaging place for ourselves and our students. In this newest version of our popular lunchtime discussion series, we’ll talk through the process of returning to face-to-face teaching, offering support and concrete strategies for improving practice and guiding students through another complicated period. General topics for each week:

  • Week 1: Accommodations and concessions.
  • Week 2: Building an equitable practice.
  • Week 3: Making space for uncertainty.
  • Week 4: The ultimate flexible course design.
  • Week 5: What do learners want / what do learners need?
