Every month TLC will post the newest and noteworthy materials on the Teaching & Learning Hub. Here is November’s list.
Announcement
- New Website – After a soft launch of our new website in August, we are proud to share our final redesign with the Wentworth community. The TLC website is now mobile-friendly, has a more intuitive layout, and features a calming teal color to reassure you that you’ll find the support you need while visiting it. We created an “FAQs” section to help you get fast answers to common questions and moved our signature professional development opportunities to prominent spots in the navigation bar. We invite you to check it out and share feedback to help us make further improvements.
Special thanks to Lindsay Schubert for leading this project. Thanks as well to Lucy Wolski for her partnership with Lindsay during last month’s redesign.
Teaching Strategies & Pedagogies
- Tech Skills Videos – Need a quick answer for your Brightspace questions? Take a look at our Tech Skills playlist. These are short how-to videos about specific features in Brightspace and other tech tools.
- CoLab Podcast: Spoooooky podcast – In a spooky Halloween adventure, hosts Josh Luckens and Megan Hamilton Giebert are thrust into an educational encounter with the supernatural world. We feature an oracular radio drama in which a lost professor contends with ghosts, zombies, and a truth-telling student, and teaching tips are conveyed from the great beyond via Arioch Wentworth’s gramophone.
Beware: this episode features course design and delivery strategies from a Dickensian figure who may or may not be a ghost. Their ancient wisdom is so potent that it might just help you transform your teaching practice and cast a lasting spell of engagement on your students…
