Designing Effective Learning Environments
Fall 2020
Based on users and expert advice, the data evidence collected through needs analysis pointed towards a need for creating a workshop for Teaching Assistants (TAs) teaching recitation sections in large-enrollment online courses that focus on discussion strategies. At the end of the workshop, TAs will identify learner discussion facilitation strategies appropriate to the teaching context. The main learning objectives of the workshop are (1) Explore the use of word clouds, role-playing, and student-led discussion as discussion facilitation strategies; (2) Compare the benefits and drawbacks of the three discussion facilitation strategies; (3) Evaluate the level of engagement in the discussion facilitation strategies, and; (4) Adapt an appropriate discussion strategy for your teaching context.
