by Brian Chen & Emily Boles. The benefits of e-collaboration projects promote student learning and create an interactive online learning community. However, successful use of online e-collaborative projects requires additional teaching tactics and strategies. Participants will identify and analyze key factors in the use of e-collaboration projects in an online environment.
- Integrating the Scholarship of Teaching into Your Teaching, Research & Service (C)
COLRS Faculty Fellows & Michele Gribbins. Faculty who practice the scholarship of teaching seek to understand how students learn and how various teaching practices influence student learning in their discipline (Boyer, 1990). Join the discussion as faculty share why the scholarship of teaching is important to their growth as educators and scholars. Panelists will share how the scholarship of teaching has impacted their teaching, research, and service, and will provide suggestions on how to enhance your scholarship of teaching.
