Upcoming CITL Events

Lehigh now has an institutional site license for Zoom, a communications platform that offers audio and video conferencing services across all operating systems and mobile platforms. Faculty and staff can schedule, host and record online sessions, reducing the need for traversing campus for in-person meetings.

Some of the benefits of Zoom include two-way audio and video conferencing, desktop sharing, and support for a variety of devices such as Windows, MacOS, and Android. Zoom is also integrated with Course Site, facilitating its use in both academic and administrative settings.

Join us to learn the features of Zoom that can make your meetings easier.

The Teacher Development Series is a free, six-part series designed specifically for graduate students to develop teaching and classroom skills.                             

The Grad Life Office and the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning are again partnering to offer a series of workshops in our Teacher Development Program for Graduate Students.  These free, non-credit workshops are open to all Lehigh graduate students.

CITL invites you to the first meeting of the fall semester of the Online Teaching and Learning Community of Practice. If you have been teaching online, have developed online modules for your face-to-face courses, or are just curious about the online learning environment, come share your experiences, successes and failures alike, so as to benefit your colleagues and Lehigh students.

For this session we'll have several professors who have taught online share their specific approaches to content creation, student engagement and assessment. We’ll also have CITL staff present to take questions on technology and pedagogy. All interested students, faculty, and staff are welcome, and if you are not on-campus at that time, join us remotely via Zoom: https://lehigh.zoom.us/j/952666472.

The GIS Community of Practice is a group of people using, or interested in using, geospatial tools in work, research, teaching, or just everyday life. Each meeting will consist of GIS-related announcements and a short presentation of a pre-chosen topic, with time for discussion. This is also a great time to troubleshoot with the group any GIS related issues.

This session will feature a demo on using two open source programs (R and QGIS) to work with geospatial data to create static and dynamic visualizations. With recent headlines about the social impacts of heat islands, the example will focus on mapping temperature data throughout the Lehigh Valley, measured this summer by NASA/USGS satellites.

Light refreshments will be available.
