Adam Croom is the Director of the Office of Digital Learning and Assistant Professor in the College of Journalism of Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma. In this talk, Adam will narrate how he leverages the technology of the open web to stimulate his students’ learning and personal growth and to catalyze creativity in his classroom. Adam’s course project, which started off with a 15-student class, has grown into a university-wide initiative in which more than 5,000 students, faculty, and staff are given space and tools on the open web to write, build, and share. Learn how this project is providing soft infrastructure for teaching, learning, and, ultimately, creating a domain of one’s own. A longer bio and his organization's website can be found here: http://ou.edu/digitallearning/

CITL Workshop: "Reacting To The Past"

Date & Time: Wednesday, May 17, 8:00 am to 3:00 pm

Location: CITL Commons (EWFM 370)

Audience: Faculty, Students

The Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) will host a "Reacting To The Past" micro-workshop at Lehigh.  The workshop will take place in the CITL Classrooms and Commons in EWFM on May 17th, 2017 from 8:00 am -3:00 pm.  Faculty from the "Reacting" consortium will facilitate the workshop and walk us through a game simulation in the morning, followed by an interactive Q and A session in the afternoon.

Open to Lehigh faculty. Graduate students who are, or plan to be, in an instructional role are also welcome to attend.

Lunch will be provided. 

Additional Details:

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 now 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.  

Space is limited for the workshop, so please use the link below to register ASAP.  A detailed agenda, along with some pre-workshop information will be sent out promptly.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jason Slipp at - jqs7@lehigh.edu, or 8-5343. 

Registration deadline extended to 5/12/2017
