Center for Learning and Instructional Excellence Events for the Week of March 2

Please join us for our workshop the Center for Learning and Instructional Excellence will be hosting next week and don’t forget to RSVP below for the two events for our Teaching and Learning Symposium.

[Topic: Open Pedagogy: Student Agency, Active Learning, and Meaningful Engagement]

ITRC Workshop: Open Pedagogy Practices
Presenter: Ryan Randall, Instructional Designer
Date & Time: Tuesday, March 3rd | 11 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Location: Center for Learning & Instructional Excellence | Rendezvous 129

Open pedagogy practices emphasize student agency, active learning, and assignments that position students as participatory creators of information rather than as passive consumers. Many educators find that these practices help students engage more fully in courses, as well as help decrease misuse of GenAI tools. This workshop, part of ISU's Open Education Week, will provide an overview of these practices. We will also brainstorm how adopting one or more of these practices might address difficulties students currently experience.
