Impact Week
OVERVIEW
This fully remote program is an intensive, one-week course designed to give you the tools to create a course following research-driven practices that create significant learning experiences for your students. Each day you’ll work through a module and complete reflection questions that a) showcase what you’ve learned and b) help you implement practices that engage learners in your content and course. Our support team will provide written feedback and host daily, optional “Coffee Talks”.
Program Outcomes
By the end of IMPACT Week, you will be able to:
- Enhance your pedagogical practice through reflection on your teaching and learning philosophy.
