Each fall in the TRAC Writing Fellows Seminar, new TRAC Fellows engage in group research projects that explore topics and issues related to peer tutoring and learning, writing pedagogy, and student learning in higher education broadly considered. This year, the TRAC Seminar group research projects will address issues specifically and exclusively related to grading and assessment.

All research presentation sessions will be held in the  CITL Commons. You are welcome to attend as many sessions as you like.

Immersive Learning is an experiential methodology that utilizes Virtual Reality (VR) to teach and train in a safe and engaging immersive environment by simulating real-world locations and scenarios. It combines the sense of presence of VR with data science and spatial design to improve retention and student engagement. Uptale is a web based authoring platform for creating your own custom immersive - and interactive - learning experiences. It requires no coding background and utilizes 360 video and imagery, along with a simple drag-and-drop approach, to make building VR experiences easy. Uptale is available to all Lehigh users, so even your students can learn, build, and share. In this hands-on workshop, learn how to get started with Uptale to start your journey with immersive learning. You'll also be able to test and explore what you've built using a VR headset.

Please use the registration link to RSVP in advance so that we can ensure that your own Uptale account is provisioned for you. Come with your own laptop (or just follow along!)

Please join us for the inaugural meeting of the New Faculty Community of Practice being convened by the Center for Innovation Teaching and Learning. We’ll be holding this first hybrid meeting on Wednesday, November 16, from Noon - 1PM, in E.W. Fairchild-Martindale Library RM 625 or on Zoom. 
 

The intent of this community will be to provide you with an opportunity to be part of a network of Lehigh faculty, across disciplines and colleges, who want to discuss teaching and learning at Lehigh. If you’re curious about how other faculty foster student engagement, are interested in hearing alternative assessment strategies, would like to share experiences in large enrollment courses or are looking for guidance from peers on challenges you’re facing, please consider joining us. CITL staff will facilitate these sessions, and we will look to you to determine topics and areas of mutual interest as the group moves forward.

If you’d like to join us, please RSVP by Monday, November 14, indicating whether you’ll join us for lunch in EWFM 625 or connect remotely. If you plan to join using Zoom, please add the event to your calendar (via the link on the RSVP page) so that you have the Zoom link to attend remotely.
