CITL Workshop: ** POSTPONED ** Inclusive Teaching: What will you do when...?
Date & Time: Wednesday, November 8, 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm
Presenters: Greg Reihman, Rita Jones, Chelsea Fullerton, Dahlia Hylton, Jennifer Swann
Audience: Faculty, Graduate Students
NOTE: This event has been postponed to 12/14/17 at 2pm. Please register for that later event below.
Sometimes the creation of an inclusive classroom is less about how we intentionally design our classes and more about how we respond to specific challenges that arise when we teach. In this workshop, faculty will have the opportunity to learn more about changing student demographics at Lehigh and discuss with colleagues several case studies. The cases, based on actual student and faculty experiences, will describe classroom scenarios that, if not handled well, may exclude certain groups of students, diminish those students' sense of belonging to the class, and diminish their likelihood of success. It is our hope that a guided discussion of these cases will help faculty be prepared to speak and act in ways that promote inclusion and enhance academic success for all students.

CITL: Rethinking Technology’s Role in Transforming Higher Education
Date & Time: Thursday, November 2, 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm
Presenters: Dr. MJ Bishop
Audience: Community Members, Faculty, Staff, Students, Undergraduate Students, Graduate Students
Advances in available instructional technologies have many excited about the possibility that we may soon break free of the immutable "iron triangle" that has prevented higher education from increasing access, affordability, and quality simultaneously. But while we have seen advances in access and affordability, the 100-year history of technology use in education paints a rather bleak picture of the extent to which technology, in-and- of-itself, can lead to the kind of increases in learning outcomes that we seek. This presentation traces the many lessons learned from that history and explores how changing the way we view technology's role might finally help us achieve meaningful and sustainable change.
Dr. MJ Bishop directs the University System of Maryland's William E. Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation, which was established in 2013 to enhance USM's position as a national leader in higher education transformation. The Kirwan Center conducts research on best practices, disseminates findings, and supports the system's institutions as they develop innovative academic programs. Prior to USM, Bishop was Associate Professor of Instructional Design and Technology at Lehigh University and Director of the College of Education's Teaching, Learning, and Technology Program. Author of numerous peer-reviewed publications, her research explores how instructional media might be designed and used more effectively to improve learning. She has received several awards for her research and innovative teaching, including Lehigh's prestigious Stabler Award, conferred by students to faculty who have mentored them to "excellence in their chosen field" as well as "excellence as human beings and leaders of society."
