However, recent updates to the LaTeX kernel have made it possible to make most standard documents more accessible for students with vision-related disabilities. As of April 2026, updated Title II requirements make this type of accessibility improvement mandatory for our materials.
During this workshop, we'll explore how accessible documents benefit all students, discuss some basic examples, and then learn how to enable the new features.
This is an interactive workshop with active work time built in to experiment with new features. Participants should ensure they bring a laptop with an updated (2025 TeXLive or fully up-to-date MikTeX) local installation of LaTeX during the session.
This workshop is facilitated by Hunter Lehmann, director of Undergraduate Advising in the School of Mathematics. Register here.

One important goal of a college education is for students to engage in productive discussions about important issues, even when they disagree. Our classrooms are key spaces where students can practice effective, respectful discussion. In this workshop, participants will review a variety of resources, including ones from the Difficult Dialogues National Resource Center, and identify opportunities to integrate them into their courses. These resources are especially useful for instructors who may need to manage hot-button discussions that can pop up in response to current events.

In-Person Track: May 23, 25, 30, June 1 from 9 a.m. to noon, Crosland 4160
During the In-Person Track, participants will be guided through the backwards course design process as they develop or redesign the goals, assessments and learning activities for their courses. Each day will introduce course design frameworks and structures, create time for individual work, and facilitate sharing and feedback with colleagues. This track provides the most guided experience and may be best suited to those developing a new course and/or who are newer to the course design process. In-Person participants will also have access to the Course Design Studio Canvas site, which includes additional topics that may not be addressed during the in person sessions.
Online Track: July 17, 19, 24, & 26 from 9 a.m. to noon, Zoom
In the Online Track, participants will access asynchronous modules via Canvas that provide frameworks, models, and structured exercises designed to help them build course elements, including learning goals, assessments, and learning activities. This track offers the most flexibility for participants who are interested in exploring areas of course design beyond the fundamentals of backwards course design (though the essentials are also fully addressed). In addition, participants will engage in synchronous collaborative sessions via Zoom to share their course element designs with colleagues and CTL consultants.
No matter what your previous experience with course design, the Course Design Studio creates time to think about your upcoming courses and opportunities to share your ideas and get feedback from colleagues. We hope these two options for participation enhance the value of Course Design Studio for both new and returning participants.

We will consider how to analyze, reflect on, and incorporate student feedback productively.
For Part I, we'll talk about how to analyze and interpret student feedback on teaching. What does the feedback mean? What do we know about our students that can help us to understand their feedback? How can we take the positive and constructive feedback and use it to inform future iterations of the course?
For Part II, you'll have quiet reflection time to engage with your course feedback. During this time, you can reflect privately or with someone from the Center for Teaching & Learning team. Lunch will also be provided as well as a mind/body connection option to help you process student feedback.
For Part III, we'll come back together to talk about how we can incorporate the feedback into future courses. What are tangible ways that student voices and feedback can influence course design? What strategies can strengthen what is working well and improve what might not have worked well?
The forum will be from 10AM-2PM and lunch will be provided. The forum will be held in the Kirkwood Room at the Exhibition Hall.

About the Keynote: Getting Real About “Rigor” Across higher education, instructors are struggling to teach effectively and (re-)engage students as we return to in-person learning. And it’s not been easy; it’s hard to teach students who aren’t in class, or who are attending but not meaningfully present, yet the incidences of both grow more numerous by the day, it seems. Some responses to this state of affairs urge us to double down on “standards,” to “toughen up our courses again,” to rediscover and re-instill rigor. After all, learning is supposed to be hard, and maybe a return to that set of challenges is what students need to re-connect them to their education…right?
But what does “rigor” look like to students? There is research suggesting what we define as rigor and what students experience in so-called “rigorous” classes are vastly different things. What if, instead of promoting meaningful, challenging learning, we’re actually placing barriers in front of our students? This talk will explore the need to find balance between our conceptions of rigor and students’ academic well-being. We’ll consider the ways in which rigor manifests itself in our teaching and learning spaces, and how the concept is often weaponized against the very things we say are important to our courses. Finally, we’ll consider specific strategies to challenge our students in ways that promote, rather than prevent, their success.

As first-generation students gain greater access to higher education, faculty at colleges and universities must provide intentional engagement that supports their persistence and graduation. Moreover, recent societal events have necessitated new models and approaches for engaging first-generation students. The COVID-19 pandemic and social justice issues have affected the higher education landscape. Engagement practices aimed to support first-generation college students must be able to address student needs in the changing campus environment.
Referencing the programs and practices highlighted in the book, Developing and Implementing Promising Practices and Programs for First-Generation College Students, (Troy, et. al., 2022), this session will provide faculty with strategies on how to engage and support first-generation students. Through dialogue and sharing of best practices, attendees will generate ideas on how to connect first-generation students with programs and opportunities to help them build meaningful networks among their peers, other faculty members, and campus allies.

Whether holding classes in completely virtual environments, utilizing online to flip or supplement their in-class experience, or something in between, faculty have been extending their pedagogy across time and space to reach students where they are in new and exciting ways.
During the Georgia Tech Celebrating Distance Teaching and Learning Symposium: Looking Back; Thinking Forward, we will be celebrating those educators who have forged innovative and high-quality practices in the field of distance education and learn from their experiences.
During the symposium we will converse with;
Expert instructors who work with massive online learning courses
Inventive instructors who developed new techniques during Covid that continue to prove useful
Award-winning Online TAs and faculty from diverse backgrounds and disciplines
Talented technology staff who work with the latest tools that make online learning flourish
And, most importantly, we’ll have opportunities for symposium participants to connect with each other and exchange their thoughts and ideas throughout

Does seeing all of those new tools in your Canvas course fill you with a sense of dread? Do you long for those days when teaching with technology felt fun and exciting, but now it just feels overwhelming?
If you said yes to any of the above, then the 2022 Teaching with Technology Summer Institute is for you!
The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) invites you to participate in its 2022 Teaching with Technology Summer Institute on the theme of “Practicing Mindfulness in Teaching with Technology”. This year’s Summer Institute will be held on June 27th-30th, from 9 am-Noon (with breaks) and will be presented virtually via Zoom.
During the 4-day institute, we will explore a pedagogical approach to the intentional and mindful integration of technologies into curriculum that supports effective teaching and enhances student learning. You will work with learning technology specialists from CTL and various experts from across campus (including representatives from OIT’s DTL, GTPE, and C21U) as well as peers across disciplines. Together, we will investigate ways of mindfully integrating new technologies into your courses.
What can I expect? The institute will consist of a mix of small and large-group sessions as well as individual work time. You will engage in activities that will re-ignite your passion for teaching with technology and learn to implement technology in your course in a mindful way that will facilitate active learning, collaborative learning, and effective assessment (visit the summer institute website for more details on what each day will explore).
Is this for me? No matter whether you are a novice or an expert with educational technologies, or whether you plan to teach face-to-face, online, flipped-classroom, or in some other mode, join us to rethink how you teach with technology and plan for your Fall 2022 course. You’ll learn how to harness the power of technologies and use them in a mindful way to create engaging learning experiences inside and outside of classes. By attending this institute and reflecting on your work, you can even earn a badge issued by the Center for Teaching and Learning!

We will explore alternatives to traditional grading that could alleviate typical grading challenges while reinforcing student learning. Participants will create an implementation plan that will allow them to begin to incorporate elements of an emerging grading system that fits their specific goals and situation.
Workshop goals:
1. Identify pain points in traditional grading systems and consider ways alternative grading approaches can better support student learning
2. Compare the impact of alternative grading and traditional grading on student learning and instructor experience
3. Identify an opportunity to get started with specifications grading in your own teaching

Design or redesign a course with expert guidance from Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) consultants and input from colleagues across campus. This year we are offering two distinct experiences: Participants may choose between an in person track and an online track.
During the In-Person Track, participants will be guided through the backwards course design process as they develop or redesign the goals, assessments and learning activities for their courses. Each day will introduce course design frameworks and structures, create time for individual work, and facilitate sharing and feedback with colleagues. This track provides the most guided experience and may be best suited to those developing a new course and/or who are newer to the course design process. In-Person participants will also have access to the Course Design Studio Canvas site, which includes additional topics that may not be addressed during the in person sessions.
In the Online Track, participants will access asynchronous modules via Canvas that provide frameworks, models, and structured exercises designed to help them build course elements, including learning goals, assessments, and learning activities. This track offers the most flexibility for participants who are interested in exploring areas of course design beyond the fundamentals of backwards course design (though the basics are also fully addressed). In addition, participants will engage in synchronous collaborative sessions via Zoom to share their course element designs with colleagues and CTL consultants.
No matter what your previous experience with course design, the Course Design Studio creates time to think about your 2022-23 courses and opportunities to share your ideas and get feedback from colleagues. We hope these two options for participation enhance the value of Course Design Studio for both new and returning participants.

After you submit your semester grades, join the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows (PTLF) for a day of reflecting on the past semester and connecting with colleagues around teaching. At this year's forum, we are excited to feature Dr. Geoffrey Cohen, author of the forthcoming book Belonging: The Secret Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides, as the keynote speaker. After the talk, you will have the opportunity to hear from a panel of students about their experiences of belonging at Georgia Tech and to engage in activities and discussions with colleagues to consider how to cultivate a sense of belonging in your own teaching contexts.
Belonging: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides
How can we help our students maintain their sense of common humanity even when engaging in difficult and potentially divisive conversations? How can we affirm students' sense of belonging in our disciplines, especially if they hold a historically underrepresented identity? How can we demonstrate our believe that our students belong here, even when they are struggling with personal and academic challenges?
Divisions based on class, politics, race, religion, gender, and nationality are erupting throughout the globe. They present major challenges for our academic institutions. The consequences of not having a sense of belonging range from political strife to illness to underperformance at work and in the classroom. This talk will present the causes and consequences of a sense of belonging in school and a set of science-backed techniques for fostering it in diverse institutions.
Research by Cohen and colleagues has found that small acts that establish connection, brief activities such as reflecting on core values, and a slew of practices that he refers to under the general rubric of “situation-crafting” improve motivation and performance in school and work, lessen polarization in our politics, combat racism in our communities, benefit health and wellbeing, and unleash the potential in ourselves and our relationships.
About the Speaker: Dr. Geoffrey Cohen is a Professor of Psychology at the Stanford Graduate School of Education. Cohen is the author of a new book BELONGING: The Science of Creating Connection and Bridging Divides (W.W. Norton; September 13, 2022), which brings together his and others’ groundbreaking research and shows how the discoveries can be used to tackle the most tenacious problems of our communal life. Professor Cohen's research examines processes that shape people's sense of belonging and self and implications for social problems. He studies the big and small threats to belonging and self-integrity that people encounter in school, work, and health care settings, and strategies to create more inclusive spaces for people from all walks of life. He believes that the development of psychological theory is facilitated not only by descriptive and observational research but by theory-driven intervention. He has long been inspired by Kurt Lewin's quip, "The best way to try to understand something is to try to change it."

Distinguished Professor of Engineering Barbara Oakley teaches Learning How to Learn (Coursera), one of the world’s largest student massive open online course, with over four million students. In this presentation, she will show you useful information about how you and those you teach can more easily master new and difficult material—whether in STEM, the humanities, or the social sciences, at undergraduate and graduate levels.
Discover how to help your students retain information long term, even when your students have different working memory capacities or are slower learners.
See what the patterns of expertise look like in the brain, and learn how to help students build those patterns in order to develop intuition.
Learn why it’s perfectly normal for students to not understand something difficult the first time its encountered. You’ll see how knowledge of how the brain works can protect against feelings of frustration and failure when something seems difficult to learn
Dr. Oakley’s previous book, A Mind for Numbers, is a New York Times and international best-seller translated into over a dozen languages. Her most recent book is the critically acclaimed Uncommon Sense Teaching: Practical Insights in Brain Science to Help Students Learn.

At this interactive session, participants will identify common challenges inherent in traditional grading. We will explore alternatives to traditional grading that could alleviate typical grading challenges while reinforcing student learning. Participants will create an implementation plan that will allow them to begin to incorporate elements of an emerging grading system that fits their specific goals and situation.
Workshop goals: 1. Identify pain points in traditional grading systems and consider ways alternative grading approaches can better support student learning 2. Compare the impact of alternative grading and traditional grading on student learning and instructor experience 3. Identify an opportunity to get started with specifications grading in your own teaching

LIAM'S LEGACY: AN INCLUSIVE TEACHING SYMPOSIUM
Presented by Serve-Learn-Sustain and the Center for Teaching and Learning, in partnership with the School of History and Sociology through a grant from the Gertrude and William C. Wardlaw Fund in support of the Conference on Human Rights, Changes and Challenges.
FRIDAY OCTOBER 22ND, 9AM-5PM
Faculty and staff are invited to join Serve-Learn-Sustain (SLS) and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) for the Liam's Legacy Inclusive Teaching Symposium. As educators and instructors, we all share in the responsibility to create inclusive learning environments. Even if the content we teach doesn't directly address issues of social identity, the impacts of historical and current exclusion of and violence against BIPOC communities are felt in all corners of the academy. We all recognize the urgency and the enormity of the problem, yet many of us feel unsure of what actions we can take as educators to make higher education more just.
SLS and CTL bring you a day long symposium seeking to equip anyone who teaches with strategies and resources to create belonging and inclusivity in their classrooms - of any size, disciplinary focus, and model! Topics will include:
Best practices . . . from small and simple to big and ambitious
Student perspectives on creating a welcoming classroom
Community-engaged and culturally-sensitive teaching
Caring in the classroom: supporting students' wellbeing
At the end of the day, participants will be invited to apply for a limited number of course development grants from Serve-Learn-Sustain, earmarked especially for symposium attendees.
The symposium will be offered virtually (no limit on attendees) and in-person (20 attendee limit).

Building a Post-Pandemic Future for Higher Ed without Losing Sight of Our Students and Ourselves
As we pass the milestone of a year since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, higher ed is collectively processing the events that compound personal loss with grief for the ways we used to teach, to learn together, to see each other in the halls without masks, and to advance our shared educational mission. This forum will provide opportunities to reflect on what we've missed during the pandemic, to think through what we’ve learned about students and teaching from this experience, and to build the future of what teaching and learning might look like at Georgia Tech in upcoming years.
In the second half of the forum, participants will gather in college groups facilitated by their PTLFs. Each group will discuss how their college can leverage this moment in time to enhance current teaching and learning practices. Ideas and recommendations will be shared after the event with College Deans.
About the speaker: Dr. Joshua Eyler is the author of How Humans Learn: The Science and Stories behind Effective College Teaching (WVU, 2018) and a frequent speaker at colleges and universities across the country. Josh is the Director of Faculty Development and Director of the Thinkforward Quality Enhancement Plan at the University of Mississippi, where he is also on the faculty in the Department of Writing and Rhetoric. He previously worked on teaching and learning initiatives at Columbus State University, George Mason University, and Rice University.

How long did it take? Think about the work that you put into preparing and presenting information that is new to your students. A lot of time, there, too?
What if we told you that your students can actually learn more and learn better if you were to teach less and grade less? And they would act dishonestly less often, to boot? There has to be a catch, right? Well, no.
As instructors and course designers, we often find ourselves assigning (and then grading) mountains of assessment work, in the belief that learner skills need to be scored and demonstrated by numerical measurements of mastery at every step of the learning process. This leads to test fatigue for learners and grading fatigue for instructors.
Together, we’ll explore ways to design learning interactions and assessments in order to provide learners with greater engagement, deeper application of course concepts, and meaningful demonstration of course learning outcomes—all while reducing the grading- and work-load for instructors.
This interactive webinar session presents a framework of expert-level teaching practices, all backed by the science of how our brains learn. Adopting one of three approaches that de-emphasizes numerical grades in your teaching approach can help to make learners more active, curious, and engaged, all while reducing your workload as an instructor—and preserving the rigor of the activities in which you ask learners to engage.
You’ll discover how specifications grading, ungrading, contract grading, authentic assessment, social/emotional learning, desirable difficulty, and intentional failure in learning—and their absence—contribute to the emotional roots of why students cheat and act dishonestly. You’ll explore tow common assessment practices that you can stop doing (and save yourself hours of wasted time in the bargain). After participating in this session, you will be able to …
Grade Less: Adopt one of a number of scaffolded grade/feedback structures that relies on completion-only and feedback-only learner activities.
Teach Less: Provide real-world answers to “why” questions and bring learners through the discovery process together.
Learn More: Design course interactions that provide learners with greater choice and defining power for learning outcomes.
Maintain Standards: Distinguish between rigor in knowledge and rigor in process adherence (hint: keep one high and work to lower the other).

Dissatisfied with the feedback that CIOS provides about your teaching? Wish that you had another way to gather insights about your instructional methods?
Research indicates that student evaluations should not be the sole source of feedback on teaching. As a result, many faculty have turned to colleagues for critique and suggestions. Yet without training, it is easy for peer observers to fall back on their own teaching preferences or overly focus on content.
At the Center for Teaching and Learning, providing feedback on teaching is part of what we do. In this workshop, we will suggest frameworks and tools that you can use to enrich your conversations about teaching. Join your colleagues, and consider how collaborating with one another might lead to substantial discussions that inform your practice.

As we finish Fall semester and wrap up 2020, each of us is deeply impacted by the uncertainty that surrounds us.
So how do we keep the spark in our teaching and mentoring as well as our students’ learning within this context? What is likely to give us energy or zap our energy? How can we identify and mitigate the symptoms of burnout for both faculty and students? In this virtual workshop, participants will explore aspects of well-being that can translate into the classroom as well as ways to keep up their own energy during these trying times.

Now, as we near the 2020 election, stressors are increasing even further. As we struggle to focus on course content and wrapping up the semester, both faculty and students report feeling disoriented and overwhelmed. We want to engage in discussions about national and global events with our students—yet good intentions don’t always bring great results. Should we address the coming election on the days leading up to November 3 and if so, how?
Once the election takes place, we know that students will have their own excitement and disappointments to deal with—as will we. How can we acknowledge the strong emotions and results of the election without offending someone? How can we interact humanely with a diverse group of students without triggering an adverse response?

The opposite of ‘racist’ isn’t ‘not racist.’ It is “antiracist.’ …The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it.” Racism is reproduced in institutions throughout our society, and higher education is not exempt. Faculty have an important role to play in dismantling racism in their own classrooms. In this virtual workshop from the Center for Teaching and Learning, participants will first hear stories from students who have experienced racism at Georgia Tech. Participants will then identify concrete strategies to engage in antiracism pedagogy through their course goals, content, classroom facilitation, and assessment strategies.

The precautions we must all take to prevent the spread of the virus during in-person instruction mean that faculty will need to make changes to the active learning strategies that they have previously used in their courses. In this virtual session, participants will identify strategies for overcoming the challenges of active learning while physically distancing, including using classroom technology and low tech strategies for facilitating student engagement. Following the workshop, participants will have the option of sharing their plan for implementing physically distanced active learning in order to receive feedback from a colleague.
Workshop Goals:
Identify challenges for engaging students actively in learning while social distancing

The precautions we must all take to prevent the spread of the virus during in-person instruction mean that faculty will need to make changes to the active learning strategies that they have previously used in their courses. In this virtual session, participants will identify strategies for overcoming the challenges of active learning while physically distancing, including using classroom technology and low tech strategies for facilitating student engagement. Following the workshop, participants will have the option of sharing their plan for implementing physically distanced active learning in order to receive feedback from a colleague.

Summer 2020, however, appears to be raising the level of challenge to new heights--and so we scramble. What's the best way to connect with students when a deadly virus keeps everyone apart? How can we focus on course objectives when each day's news highlights death, systematic racism, social injustice, and civic unrest? We wonder--is the world around us just a distraction, or should we somehow integrate it into our teaching?
Supporting our students and their learning this summer is no easy task. The Center for Teaching and Learning and Serve-Learn-Sustain will co-host two virtual conversations about the traumatic circumstances our nation is experiencing and their impact on the teaching choices we make. The conversations will take place on Friday, June 5, 2020 from 12:30 to 1:30 pm, and Wednesday, June 10 from 3:30-4:30 pm. Might we have an opportunity to shape our teaching in ways we didn't expect? What would we like our students to learn from our time together this summer?
We'll prompt our conversation with a few campus voices, then invite you to share your ideas. Please join us! Register here.

Every semester we engage Georgia Tech students in a variety of assessment experiences that are intended to determine what they have learned. For a number of these students, however, our assessments fall short of their goal. Whether it’s due to language differences or to the fact that their brains are wired differently, many students don’t get a chance to fully demonstrate what they know—and we don’t get a chance to find out the impact of our teaching.
How common is this experience? It may surprise you to learn that neurodivergent-related accommodations are now the most frequent accommodation type at Georgia Tech. Regardless of whether you’re teaching to the highly diverse student population of an online at-scale course or you’re teaching a small class of residential students, you are likely to encounter students who require more diversity in assessment if you want to truly evaluate their learning experience.
Although the thought of providing multiple types of assessments can be overwhelming, technology can be a great help. In this workshop, we will explore a variety of technologies such as Gradescope and Kaltura that will make it easier for you to create, collect, and provide feedback on assessments that allow for multiple means of action and expression. We will discuss how the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) can aid us in creating assessments that allow every student to demonstrate their learning. And we will hear from hear from Anne Jannarone, Assistant Dean and Director of the Office of Disability Services, about neurodivergent students at Georgia Tech and what resources are available to you.
Join us and learn first-hand about multiple means of assessment and the technologies that make this process possible. Bring your laptop to explore examples during hands-on activities, or simply follow along with someone at your table. Whether you’re teaching large diverse populations in the online OMS program or an array of students in a face-to-face course on campus, there are ways that both you and your students can benefit from multiple means of assessment. We look forward to seeing you at the workshop!
Lunch will be provided. Please registerto join us!

magine a world where your students show up to class excited about an assignment they are working on. In addition, your students send you a thank-a-teacher note for the opportunities you provide for meaningful learning and for the chance to have their work make a real impact.
This actually happened to Dr. Jennifer Glass, an Associate Professor in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, when she incorporated a Wikipedia assignment into her teaching. By completing a semester-long Wikipedia editing project on scientific writing on notable topics in environmental sciences, students developed a deep understanding of the course topics. They also developed skills to analyze digital sources of information for accuracy and to collaboratively produce reliable information for various public audiences. While some students found that the assignment could be more tasking and time consuming than they expected, others remarked how they enjoyed this authentic learning activity, and expressed their pride in contributing to something larger than themselves.
Please join your colleagues in this Teaching with Technology Spotlight session to learn how Dr. Glass used Wikipedia as a teaching tool to help her students learn and share knowledge with the world.

Every semester instructors all over Georgia Tech are producing and utilizing videos in their courses. Have you ever wondered how students are using these resources? Are you concerned that students might not be watching the videos or might be skipping through them? Have you ever thought about how you could make your videos more engaging? Watching videos is a very passive activity--but it doesn’t have to stay that way, thanks to innovative technologies that allow you to add interactive features to your videos.
In this spotlight workshop, we will explore the technology and pedagogy behind Interactive Video Quizzes from Kaltura. We’ll examine how you can use Kaltura to create quizzes that exist inside videos and describe how you can best leverage this technology in your own courses. We’ll also discuss the concept of frequent quizzing and explain how such a technique can benefit student learning. And we’ll hear from Dr. Tatiana Rudechenko, a faculty member in Scheller, who has successfully implemented video quizzing in her own course. Tatiana will share her experience, lessons learned, and tips for using this technique with your students.
Join us and learn first-hand about video quizzing and generate ideas for innovative uses with your colleagues. Bring your laptop to get a jump on creating your own video quizzes by engaging in hands-on activities or simply follow along with someone at your table. All are encouraged to attend--from novices who have just started to think about creating videos to experts looking to add another tool to their video skill set. We look forward to seeing you!
Lunch will be provided. Please register to join us!

How do your grading practices impact your students? Research shows that not all grading practices motivate student learning. In fact, some practices have the opposite effect. For example, grade curving: did you know grade curving demotivates students? Goergia Tech students have said that grade curving promotes stress, cheating, competition, and even apathy Students feel there is little room to ever fail and that if they do, their grade is unlikely to recover. Additionally, feedback regarding the curve does not come in early enough for students to determine whether or not they should drop the class.
While curving is a common problematic grading practice, it isn’t the only one. However, equitable grading practices that are mathematically accurate, resistant to bias, and motivating to students to achieve academic growth and success can refocus students on learning, not just the grade. Many instructors wish to apply these principles in their teaching, but it can be difficult to determine how to do so, leaving faculty to wonder how to be both fair and rigorous when grading.
These topics will be further explored in the Center for Teaching and Learning workshop, Grading: Are Both Equity and Rigor Possible? Participants will ponder common grading approaches through the lens of equity to identify opportunities to restore some compassion to the grading process while still using grades to accurately reflect student learning. The primary goals of the workshop are to help instructors to consider why they use their grading style compared to available alternatives, understand grades in the context of how they affect the motivation, learning, and well-being of their students, and develop an awareness of equitable versus non-equitable grading strategies.

Grading is the teaching interaction most fraught with tension in the faculty-student dynamic. What a faculty member may perceive as upholding rigorous standards, a student may view as unforgiving and harsh. Is it possible to be both equitable and rigorous in our approach to grading? In this workshop, we will consider common grading practices through the lens of equity in order to identify opportunities to restore some humanity to the grading process while still using grades as an accurate reflection of student learning.

It’s a few weeks into the semester. Do you wonder how your students are doing and what it will take to support their success? Who is excelling--and may need more of a challenge? Who is struggling--and may need some help?
The course and student analytics in Canvas can be useful tools to help you address these questions. The analytics enable you to gain insight into how your students are engaging with course content, participating in course activities, and performing in course assessments.
In this workshop, we will explore the analytics tools in Canvas, We will work to make sense of the data available, and discuss how you can use them as a means for observing, analyzing, and reflecting on what’s happening with your students, and what actions you might take to support their learning. In addition, we will introduce LTI Insights, a new analytics platform that is currently under development at Georgia Tech to aggregate student interaction data from various digital learning tools.
Join your colleagues to explore opportunities to support student learning with an evidence-based approach, and discuss how the new platform could be developed to meet your needs of making data-informed teaching decisions.

Now you are thinking:
How can I take my course beyond the surface? How can I get the most out of Canvas without having to go through a lot of trial and error?
To help you better address these questions, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) invites you to participate in its 2019 Teaching with Technology Summer Institute on the theme of “Deep Dive into Teaching with Canvas”. The four-day institute (July 15-18, 2019) will give you an opportunity to go beyond the Canvas basics, and to leverage the full potential of Canvas to drive learning both inside and outside of the classroom.
What can I expect? The institute will consist of a mix of small-group and large-group sessions, as well as individual work time. You will engage in discussions and hands-on workshop activities, facilitated by the learning technology specialists from CTL, to advance your skills and techniques in teaching with Canvas.
How does it differ from Canvas training? Please note that this program is uniquely different from, and not a substitute for, the Canvas training offered by the Office of Information Technology. If you intend to learn how to use the tools in Canvas, we recommend you consider attending the Canvas training sessions (see http://canvas.gatech.edu/canvas-training-options for details) prior to attending the institute. The institute is focused on learning tips, tricks, and best practices for using Canvas to create meaningful learning experiences effectively and efficiently.
Is this for me? No matter whether you are a novice or an expert in using Canvas, please come and join the discussions about rethinking how you teach with technology!

These students also tended to agree that using clickers helped their learning and wished that more of their classes would use them. Other students considered using clickers less beneficial to their learning.
What does it take to make clickers support student learning? How can we use them as an efficient means to identify and address students' misconceptions during class? How might we leverage the potential of clickers to facilitate learning activities that are often challenging to implement in large classes?
In this workshop, we will share what our survey revealed about student perceptions of what could be done to help them learn with the use of clickers. In addition, several faculty from different disciplines who have extensive experience with using clickers will share their strategies and techniques. Please come and join your colleagues for a discussion on how to use clickers to challenge and engage students for better learning experiences and outcomes.

And then reality sets in. We discover that student perceptions of the course, the content, and their role differs from ours: they question the decisions we've made about achieving course goals, and suddenly we find ourselves in a "chilly" course climate.
In this workshop we will explore the ways in which course climate channels student energy toward and away from learning. What structures might we leverage – and what procedures might we use – to increase the odds of a positive course experience for both student and teacher? How can we help our students feel supported as they learn? How might we prevent unnecessary anxiety and focus attention on learning?
Join your colleagues for an evidence-based discussion about creating climates that promote the intellectual vitality and well-being of all Georgia Tech students. Bring both your questions and your ideas, and engage in conversation and discovery.

While students can benefit from engaging in controversial topics there are also many risks and potential pitfalls in these pedagogical situations. While so much of our research and teaching involves engaging with difficult questions and topics, we don’t always have opportunities to discuss these experiences and how to manage them. This roundtable workshop is designed to open up dialogues about teaching controversial topics in our current moment. It will include opportunities for all faculty -- junior and senior -- to share ideas about teaching such controversial topics as race, climate change, sexuality, red and blue politics, etc.
During this event we will focus on the following:
designing a course that engages students on controversial topics
managing classroom discussions on controversial topics
what to do when an unexpected controversy comes up
This workshop is designed as an opportunity for faculty to network with colleagues from across the Ivan Allen College, and is hosted by the IAC Provost Teaching and Learning Fellows, who work in partnership with the Center for Teaching and Learning.

Invited Speaker: Dr. Karie Davis-Nozemack
Responding to student writing can be a chore. No matter how much you believe that the writing you assign in your course is vital to your students’ success, providing feedback often turns into a Sisyphean task. You find yourself making deals with yourself (grade three papers and you’ve earned a cup of coffee, three more papers and you can take a break, etc.).
How can you turn writing into a learning opportunity for your students without being crushed by the weight of their papers? Is there a more effective way to give students frequent opportunities to practice and refine their writing skills? Is there a less time-intensive way to provide feedback to each of your students and grade their writing?
During this Teaching with Technology Spotlight session, Dr. Karie Davis-Nozemack, Associate Professor in the Scheller College of Business, will share her experiences with Essay Wizard, a tool she uses to provide analytical writing opportunities to students in her large classes. This software allows students to edit their writing by guiding them with scaffolding questions and follow-up prompts. After demonstrating how Essay Wizard works, Dr. Davis-Nozemack will highlight feedback her students have provided on the effectiveness of using Essay Wizard to develop their writing skills. She will also discuss how other instructors could potentially adopt or adapt the software in their classes.
Join us in this session on how to leverage technology to use your time efficiently to help students become effective writers.

It can also be a pain in the posterior. Students don’t always function well in teams, instructors worry about how to grade them fairly, and most of us wonder if we’re doing right by our students when problems arise.
Join us for this workshop featuring Dr. Mary Lynn Realff, who leads the Effective Team Dynamics initiative at Georgia Tech, and Dr. Ruth Poproski from the Center for Teaching and Learning. We’ll share new tools for preventing and managing barriers to effective teamwork, strategies and frameworks for inspiring honest and thoughtful feedback through peer evaluation, and an array of evidence-based approaches to creating rich learning experiences for students through their participation in team-based projects.

Invited Speaker: Dr. Julián J. Rímoli
Mobile devices are everywhere—and smartphones and tablets have the potential to transform the way we teach and learn. How can we leverage their versatile touch interfaces and powerful computational capabilities to create new learning opportunities for students?
During this Teaching with Technology Spotlight session, Dr. Julián J. Rímoli, Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering, will share his experiences with developing Truss Me!, an educational game that challenges players to engineer the lightest possible "moon lander vehicle" in the shortest period of time. Dr. Rímoli will discuss how he used the game to engage students with course content and foster deeper learning-while making learning fun. He will also discuss the philosophy behind the design of the game as well as lessons learned regarding its implementation in a classroom setting.

The four-day institute (July 10-13, 2018) will explore a pedagogical approach to the integration of technologies into curriculum to support effective teaching and enhance student learning. During the institute, faculty will have an opportunity to work with learning technology specialists from CTL, as well as peers across disciplines, to investigate ways of leveraging the potential of Canvas, Georgia Tech’s new learning management system.
What can I expect?
The institute will consist of a mix of small-group and large-group sessions, as well as individual work time, facilitated by the learning technology specialists from CTL. Participants will engage in discussions and hands-on workshop activities to learn how to best utilize various tools in Canvas to build a course that will facilitate active learning, collaborative learning, and effective assessment (see the summer institute schedulefor more details).
How does it differ from Canvas training?
Please note that this program is uniquely different from, and not a substitute for, the Canvas training offered by the Office of Information Technology (OIT). If you intend to learn how to use the tools in Canvas, we recommend you consider attending the Canvas training sessions (see http://canvas.gatech.edu/canvas-training-options for details) prior to attending the institute. The institute is focused on enabling faculty to build a course in Canvas by creating interactive course content, engaging course activities, and effective assessments that align with their specific course goals and objectives.
Is this for me?
No matter whether you are a novice or an expert in using Canvas, please come and join us to leverage this opportunity of rethinking about how you teach with technology and getting your course ready in Canvas for Fall 2018!

You are cordially invited to attend Celebrating Teaching Day on March 8, 2018! Celebrating Teaching Day is an annual event hosted by the Center for Teaching and Learning that honors and celebrates the dedication of Georgia Tech faculty and instructors who create engaging, challenging and supportive learning experiences for their students throughout the year.
During the program, Georgia Tech colleagues will share their personal stories of how they’ve encountered challenges, made mistakes, persevered, and moved forward towards their goals. Each of these speakers participated in a GTREET storytelling workshop (January 2018) to hone their storytelling skills and craft their stories. By performing their stories at Celebrating Teaching Day, these speakers will provide us with some examples of how we might inspire our students to persevere and deal with the unexpected when it occurs.
In addition, Celebrating Teaching Day will feature a Poster Session where Georgia Tech faculty and instructors will share their recent teaching-related initiatives. In honor of International Women’s Day, we will feature posters that highlight how instructors at Georgia Tech create inclusive learning environments. Faculty and instructors who received Thank a Teacher notes, a Class of 1940 Course Survey Effectiveness Award, and/or participated in a teaching and learning community over the past year will also be recognized during the luncheon.

Invited Speaker: Dr. Carrie Shepler
Interested in flipping your class and transforming it into a dynamic, interactive, and engaging learning environment? Wondering how to do this well?
Or maybe your "flip" is off to a good start -- how do you take it to the next level?
No matter what stage you are in with flipped classrooms, come learn something useful (an inspiring) during this Teaching with Technology Spotlight session. Dr. Carrie Shepler, the director of first-year chemistry in the School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, will share her successful experience and best practices of flipping her large chemistry classes by using a “semi-flipped” classroom model:
She delivers some content in class in a fairly traditional lecture that incorporates clicker question polling for just-in-time teaching and engaging students.
She assigns videos for students to watch outside of class for other material in order to free up class time for higher-level activities that involve applications of concepts, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
Join us in this session to find out about how flipped classrooms can be planned, designed, and implemented to create a positive, enjoyable, and productive environment for both instructors and students. Come with questions and participate in a discussion on how you might implement these ideas in your own class.

However, this generation is also experiencing unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness—and therein lies a challenge. How do we uphold disciplinary standards and at the same time help these students succeed? How do we help students become “more comfortable” with thinking under pressure, struggling to make sense of concepts, and taking risks that lead to learning?
Generation Z is driven by different motivations, characteristics, and concerns than previous generations—and understanding their mindset and goals can help us make sense of how to educate them. Join your colleagues to learn more about Generation Z—and find out about specific assessment and grading practices that are helping this generation move forward.

Stories are powerful tools. Good stories catch our attention, make us want to listen, and stick with us. Have you noticed how students perk up when you say, “Did I ever tell you about the time when I….?”
A story, especially when it is a personal story, can also show how even successful people encounter challenges, make mistakes, persevere, and move forward. Something that initially appears to be an obstacle can become manageable when we frame it in a new narrative. Telling your story can create a shared experience that is much more powerful than offering your students abstract advice.
Recently President Peterson’s Taskforce on Mental Health recommended that we find ways to signal to students that there is more than one path to success, that “atypical pathways” may not be as uncommon as students perceive, and that it’s ok to ask for help. Join your colleagues at GTREET and learn how you can inspire your students to address the challenges they encounter through the stories you tell.
About our Facilitator: Shannon Turner of Story Muse is a professional storyteller and storytelling coach who helps leaders, teachers, and mentors tell personal stories to build connections with others. During this four-hour workshop, she will help us think about how our personal stories are powerful and matter to our students. She’ll also give us concrete tools for telling compelling stories and give each participant an opportunity to create, practice, and receive feedback on a story of their own.
Join us on January 19, 2018 from 11am-4pm in the Student Success Center Press Room A and B to learn storytelling skills that will help you inspire your students to persist in the face of challenges. Lunch will be provided. Please register by January 5, 2018. http://ctl.gatech.edu/gtreet

Invited Speakers: Scott Douglas
Your World is Your Lab is an introductory physics curriculum developed by the Schatz Lab in the School of Physics at Georgia Tech. This course has been offered in different classroom contexts: a MOOC, a large “blended” on-campus section, and small-enrollment online-only courses. These various contexts posed both logistical challenges and pedagogical opportunities:
How do we give students a rich laboratory experience at large scale and how do we evaluate them?
How can we introduce important skills – formal scientific communication and critique – usually absent from introductory physics courses?
During this Teaching with Technology Spotlight session, Scott Douglas, a Ph.D. candidate student who is currently writing his dissertation in physics education research under the advisorship of Professor Mike Schatz, will discuss how they designed a curriculum to address these questions, how they developed and implemented a calibrated peer assessment system to evaluate students’ video lab reports, and how students became more reliable graders and gained a more expert-like attitude toward peer assessment. Please come and join us to participate in a discussion on the potential application of the system to your courses and beyond.

Invited Speakers: Chrissy Spencer, Jung Choi, and Shana Kerr
At Georgia Tech, Introductory Biology courses, such as BIOL-1510, are typically taught in 50-250 seat flipped lecture format. Until recently, BIOL-1510 required a traditional textbook and subscription to an on-line homework system, Mastering Biology, at a high personal cost per student. Beginning in Fall 2015, the instructors replaced the textbook for BIOL-1510 with an open source collection of instructor-created written content and instructor-curated video materials.
Join us in this one-hour Teaching with Technology Spotlight session to find out about the process, the product, and the evidence that shows student learning remains effective. Come with questions and participate in a discussion on how you might implement these ideas in your own course.
]]><![CDATA[Avoiding the CIOS Surprise: Creating an Effective Learning Environment]]>28511 The Course Instructor Opinion Survey (CIOS) is an important tool that instructors use to receive feedback about their teaching effectiveness. Unfortunately, the feedback comes after the class is over, too late for instructors to adjust their teaching approach and improve the learning environment for their students. In this workshop, we will consider how what we know about how students evaluate course and instructor effectiveness can be used to make adjustments in our teaching choices. In addition, we will explore opportunities to uncover what students are thinking earlier in the semester when you still have time to adjust the course.

In this workshop, we will explore strategies for setting up group work to encourage equal participation so that students can reap all of the benefits that group work has to offer while minimizing the frustration associated with uneven participation.
This workshop is aimed at instructors with 1-2 years of experience, especially TAs. While more experienced graduate students, post-docs and faculty are welcome, all should expect a beginning level workshop.

As you are navigating your graduate career, it can be an important time to be aware of how you are being socialized to a discipline and the potential to be a self-authoring scholar. In this brown bag session, Dr. Sattler will share background information from her dissertation work and brainstorm with you—Georgia Tech graduate students— connections and implications to your graduate career.
Dr. Brook Sattler completed her Ph.D. in Human Centered Design and Engineering in 2012 from the University of Washington.
