SUMMARY:Discussions as Formative Learning
DESCRIPTION:Discussions as Formative Learning\nDate: Thursday\, March 6th\, 2025 \nTime: 2:00-3:30pm (AT)* / 1:00-2:30pm (ET)* / 10:00-11:30am (PT)* \nRegister here! \nWorkshop Description: \nHow do we move away from the post-reply-grade paradigm when we use discussions in our classrooms? In this CTEI Workshop\, we will come together to reflect on our practices and roles in creating space\, across modalities\, for meaningful discussion that encourages diving in\, working through\, and generating new ideas. We will explore how discussion is a dialogic process within a class community and a formative avenue for learners on their learning journey. \nExplore the following questions about discussions with us: \n\nHow can I make discussion activities in my class focus on the importance of social and dialogic learning?\nWhat role do I play in the process of student discussions?\nWhat do meaningful discussions look like in the context of a learning journey?\n\n*This session will be 90 minutes (60-minute interactive workshop + 30 minutes optional conversation and Q&A)

SUMMARY:Creating Accessible PowerPoints for Your Teaching
DESCRIPTION:Creating Accessible PowerPoints for Your Teaching\nDate: Friday\, March 7th\, 2025 \nTime: 1:00-2:30pm (AT) / 12:00-1:30pm (ET) / 9:00-10:30am (PT) \nRegister here! \nWorkshop Description: \nAt Yorkville U and TFS\, we are committed to building inclusive communities. Ensuring that students can access and meaningfully engage with their learning materials is foundational to an inclusive learning environment. \nSlide decks\, created in PowerPoint or other similar software\, have become a core means of sharing information and mediating learning in many courses and classrooms. In this session\, we will explore simple\, concrete strategies and tools to maximize the accessibility of slide shows. We’ll review some of the common mistakes that contribute to inaccessible course materials and highlight simple solutions that you can apply right away. While we will focus on PowerPoint\, many of the strategies we’ll explore are transferable to other similar software\, such as Google slides. Whether you’re new to document accessibility or are hoping to brush up existing skills\, please join us.
