Pre-Conference Workshop 2

Integrating SoTL into Your Teaching: How Teaching is Research

In this virtual hands-on, minds-on workshop we will discuss the overlaps between; good teaching, scholarly teaching, teaching as research (TaR) and scholarship in teaching and learning (SoTL).  We will look at their interconnections, differences, and how they build upon each other.  As a community of learners, we will identify the challenges and benefits of integrating SoTL into one’s own teaching. Participation in this workshop will help you to identify and carry out the steps and processes necessary to envision, implement, and disseminate a SoTL project. Participants are encouraged to think about a teaching or learning issue or question that interest them, and bring ideas, questions, and examples from their own teaching they might want to develop into a SoTL project.

Practical Strategies of SoTL Activities

The workshop is conducted in a two-line parallel and interactive way so that participants can learn by doing. One line is to introduce the basic methods and research steps of the SoTL Activities of university teachers, encourage teachers to reflect on the problems in teaching practice, transform the problems in teaching practice into research questions, and explore topics with research value; the other line is to invite front-line teachers to share the successful experience in SoTL Activities, clarify the design ideas and internal logic of teaching and research topics through case analysis, and select research methods and design research steps according to the topic selection. Finally, take two papers on the scholarship of teaching in the journal of Science as examples, deconstruct the research process and presentation of teaching academic achievements, and share domestic and foreign resources of SoTL Activities.

Post-Conference Workshop 5

PBL Interdisciplinary Course Design in the Perspective of Multiple Scholarship

The objective of this workshop is to let the participants experience how multiple scholarship and PBL could lead to innovative course design and development. Specifically, through sharing four innovative courses ranging from engineering, general education, specialized program and interdisciplinary courses, participants would learn how multiple scholarship could lend the idea of expanding teaching and learning to connecting learning with solving real life problems and integrating knowledge from different fields. The New Engineering course Steel Structure Design used PBL in course design and implementation; the interdisciplinary General Education courses The Dance of Life, Thinking of Design applied multiple scholarship and PBL to promote all-round development of students; and the 10-teacher trans-disciplinary course Co-Creating a Life of Beauty and Wisdom facilitated student self-organized group learning and PBL. All those courses transformed teacher-centered classroom teaching to creative students learning. The participants of this session can exchange and discuss the design, development and implementation of these courses with the course designers. If online conditions permit, participants can use the PBL Outline in groups to discuss the ideas of and approaches to designing a PBL course or PBL interdisciplinary course.

Post-Conference Workshop 9

Course-Embedded Assessment of Learning Outcomes for Ideology Nurturing Embedded in College Teaching

After this workshop, the trainees are able to consider the following aspects in ideology education in course design:

1.design assessment approach according to the course type

2.design assessment system according the assessment approach

3.design assessment system based on the idea of OBE.

Based on the evidence-based program accreditation, alone with the course-embedded assessment approach, this workshop intends to provide two kinds of learning outcome assessment design, one is quantitative assessment approach and the other is qualitative assessment approach for ideology education in course design.

Participants of this workshop please prepare your course syllabus (or course plan, course design, course objectives) in advance, which are the materials for this workshop.
