Fostering Student Engagement Remotely
Join the Center for the Advancement of Teaching for a hands-on workshop exploring strategies for using technology to foster active learning and student engagement in remote courses. Participants will learn how to maximize the use of Zoom breakout rooms and gain practical experience with online polling and a variety of digital collaboration tools. Attendees will leave the workshop having identified concrete action steps for transitioning activities and assignments they typically use face-to-face for remote environments.

Strategies for Large Lecture Courses
Join the Center for the Advancement of Teaching for a panel discussion featuring faculty who taught large lecture courses remotely during Spring 2020. Learn about strategies for delivering and recording lectures, fostering student engagement, and assessing student learning in large courses--including very large classes of 300-400+ students.

Digital Strategies for Supporting Research and Writing Instruction

Join the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and members of the UCLA Library’s Writing Instruction & Research Education team (WI+RE) to explore digital strategies for supporting remote research and writing instruction. Reflect on common and hidden challenges that student researchers and writers face--and learn how to use WI+RE tutorials to help your students brainstorm and narrow paper topics, identify and cite sources, and craft compelling arguments.

Please Note: To make the most of this hands-on session, please bring a writing assignment prompt with you to workshop with the group (drafts are totally fine!). We also encourage you to explore the Tutorials page of the WI+RE website in advance to learn more about how WI+RE helps demystify the research and writing process for students.
