Upcoming events and workshops
Ten Things You Can Do to Disrupt Bias in the Classroom
4:00pm - 5:30pm, Wednesday, February 10, 2016
Implicit bias is the bias in judgment and/or behavior that results from subtle cognitive processes (e.g., implicit attitudes and stereotypes) that often operate at a level below conscious awareness and without intentional control.  Implicit bias can shape classroom interactions in ways that impede student learning. This workshop will provide faculty with specific techniques aimed at disrupting bias in the classroom and fostering learning for all students.

Teaching Science Seminar
12:00pm - 1:30pm, Thursday, February 11, 2016
How can MOOCs and other digital resources be used to enhance on-campus teaching and learning? Vicki May (Thayer School of Engineering) will talk about her experiences organizing and teaching one of Dartmouth’s first MOOCs, ENGSx01: The Engineering of Structures Around Us.  She will share some of the data from the MOOC and will discuss how she has used the resources developed through the MOOC in her on-campus courses. Vicki hopes that her presentation will start a discussion related to teaching and learning: How can MOOCs and other digital resources change or enhance teaching and learning on-campus? What digital resources do you use in your courses? What types of digital resources would you like to develop for your courses?
