Introducing LUapps! 
 

Library and Technology Services is pleased to announce the launch of LUapps, a new service that allows you to access software applications anytime, anywhere, and on any device! LUapps simplifies access to over 50 software titles from a laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone, and provides a more consistent user experience across Mac and Windows operating systems. All you need is the Citrix Receiver on each device where you want to run LUapps, a connection to the Internet, and VPN if you’re off-campus.

Not only will you get to hear from faculty who have implemented RTTP games into their courses, but you will be able to immerse yourself into a historical role and participate in Bacon’s Rebellion which has just been released for gameplay. If you are unfamiliar with Reacting To The Past (RTTP), it is a robust pedagogy developed out of Barnard College by Historian Mark Carnes. Through subversive role play, RTTP promotes imagination, inquiry, and engagement as foundational features of teaching and learning across all disciplines in higher education. In addition to being student-centered, the RTTP pedagogy consists of instructional undergirding that promote critical thinking, writing and presentation skills, argumentation, collaboration, and more. The pedagogy has been implemented at over 500 colleges and universities and is sustained by a large consortium (of which Lehigh is a member) that develops two multiple annual conferences, administers grants, and offers consulting services. If you have been searching for ways to enhance your teaching and your students' learning, RTTP could be a perfect fit.

Tentative Agenda 9AM-10AM - Introduction to the RTTP pedagogy/Panel session of Lehigh faculty who have implemented RTTP games in their respective courses.
10:00AM -10:30AM - Break and introduction to the Bacon’s Rebellion microgame/role sheet distribution
10:30AM -11:45AM - Play Bacon’s Rebellion Microgame
11:45-Noon - Debrief/questions

 Student Voices: Perspectives from Student of Color on their Experiences in Lehigh's Classrooms. Each conversation will highlight the experience of a different group of students, with a focus on how their particular identities and backgrounds shape their experience as learners at Lehigh. A panel of three or four students will share their experiences in our classrooms and offer their perspectives on practices that they have found helpful or not so helpful. It is our hope that participants in these conversations will leave with a broadened understanding of student diversity and an improved understanding of factors that affect student learning and student success.

Lehigh’s Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) will host a Classroom Technology Open House on Wednesday, August 22, 2018 in the EWFM Library, CITL Commons.

If you’re new to Lehigh -- or perhaps not so new -- join us for any or all of the following sessions that will introduce you to Lehigh’s teaching spaces, classroom technology, Course Site Learning Management System, and digital and software resources.
