In a learner-centered classroom, the teacher’s role shifts from instruction of content to facilitation of learning.
Therefore, content becomes a tool for developing learning skills-the teacher guides students in an individualized
process of discovery and meaning-making. In this workshop, we will consider how to create a learningcentered
class, including learning goals and teaching strategies (such as peer assessment) that foster students’
capacities for self-directed learning. Click on the program title to register.

Do you teach topics that may challenge your students’ beliefs and opinions? In this workshop, we will discuss
how to assess the worldviews, knowledge and experience your students bring with them to class, and
then how to build on their pre-existing foundations by exploring new perspectives. How can new, challenging
information be presented so that it engages rather than thwarts students’ learning process? Click on the program

Sponsored by the Center for Teaching and Co-Sponsored by the Global Feminisms Collaborative
The Global Feminisms Collaborative’s 2008-2009 Brown-bag Series calls attention to critical intersections
among factors such as race, class, sexuality, and gender in both local and global contexts. At this session,
co-hosted by the Center for Teaching, faculty from various disciplines will discuss tools that educators can
use to include often marginalized perspectives in their courses. Panelists will discuss: Why globalize the perspectives
in a course? (How is it similar and different from attending to difference and diversity?) How to include
global perspectives in a course? What difference does it make? How does it change learning goals and
outcome measurements? What are some key texts for different disciplines? After each panelist’s short presentation,
the conversation will open to those in the audience. Cookies and drinks will be provided. Click on

This workshop will explore exciting new technologies that allow team members to create, modify, and share
documents, files and presentations in real-time no matter where each of the members are located. These
new tools come with many innovative functionalities, such as enabling the user to embed a document in a
web page or a video in a presentation. We will also consider new technologies that help the user visualize
data in ways that bring it to life for students, for example, displaying changes over time. These tools are cutting-
edge means of promoting community learning. Click on the program title to register.
