The Zoom sessions will begin with a short presentation and then focus on attendee questions. These sessions are a great way for instructors to identify teaching support for this summer and beyond. Register via the hyperlinked title of each session to receive login information (a Purdue email is not required to register).
Session One (June 5): Considerations for Your Purdue Course Syllabus
A syllabus is required for all Purdue courses and guidelines are reviewed and published before each semester. These are research-supported frameworks, not templates or forms. The tone, style, and details vary by instructor and course. This session will review the components of a clear, transparent structure that facilitates a working relationship with a mutual goal of successful learning.
Session Two (June 12): Enhancing Student Accessibility at Purdue
Leslie Miller, CIE faculty accessibility consultant (FAC) and Mandie Greiwe, DRC director, will share with participants the resources available to Purdue instructors regarding student accessibility. We will also have time to discuss any questions or concerns participants may have.
Session Three (June 19): Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging at Purdue
In this session, Dan Guberman, CIE assistant director for inclusive pedagogy and provost fellow with ODIB, will share information about opportunities for Purdue instructors, listen to goals of instructors teaching in Indianapolis, and address questions. ODIB supports the entire Purdue community through efforts to create and sustain a welcoming campus where all students, faculty, and staff can excel; increase and retain the number of historically underrepresented and diverse students, faculty, and staff at Purdue; and prepare all students to thrive in our diverse, global environment.
Session Four (June 26): Tools & Services for Feedback & Assessment of Student Performance
In addition to Brightspace quizzes and assignments, Purdue offers Gradescope for paper-based assessments, peer grading with Circuit, and a robust equation-based assessment tool called Variate. This session will give an overview of the services Purdue provides, with time to discuss your questions and assessment needs.
For questions about the June Wednesday webinar series, contact Tracey Birdwell, CIE assistant director, Purdue in Indianapolis, at tbirdwel@purdue.edu.
