Upcoming CITL Events

This entry-level workshop provides an overview of the popular Wordpress platform available at Lehigh for creating websites, blogs, or other digital projects. This workshop is for beginners with little or no experience working with Wordpress.  We will create a project of your liking by going step-by-step through the process of choosing a theme, creating pages, adding content, and publishing your site to the web.  Please come prepared with an idea of a site, blog, or project you would like to develop as well as a few artifacts (images, media files, etc) that you would like to incorporate into your project.

(Registration is limited to 18)

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.

 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.
