This month we are featuring a few opportunities to develop or improve your syllabi for the benefit of your learners.
Finalizing Your Learning-Centered, Accessible Syllabus
Tuesday August 22, 1-2:30 p.m., via Zoom
This session links learning-centered course design strategies to specific rhetorical and pedagogical practices for developing your course syllabus for its primary audience: learners. Through a mix of presentation, examples, and discussion, participants will work to shape a learning-centered syllabus as an accessible, inclusive, audience-aware, core course document.
Registration for the live presentation is required. An archived version of the training will be made available on Training Hub.
Last Minute Syllabus Tweaks - hosted by the Center for Education Innovation
Recorded webinar
Do you ever find yourself wondering why your students don't read your syllabus? We're required to have them, but they often end up being pages and pages of rules, requirements, and policies. In this workshop, we'll explore ways to make your syllabus a document that both welcomes and engages your students while still conveying the necessary information.
