Upcoming Webinars of Interest
Backwards design to support flexibility within courses (part of the Blackboard Innovative Teaching Series) on Thursday, March 22, 2018 at 3:00 pm EST
Speaker: Karen Bellnier, Director of Instructional Technology and Online Learning, Community College of Rhode Island
"Backwards design is a course planning approach that keeps the planning focused on the end goal – your course objectives. While the process often involves tearing a course down to its “studs” and rebuilding, the benefits to you and your students can be worth that effort through a clear vision for the course, objective-driven assessment and grading criteria, and efficiency of time spent on class."

Speaking of faculty mentors…The Center for Teaching, Learning, and Innovation (CTLI) is excited to have Kara Kaufman as part of the CTLI team in her role as the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Faculty Mentor. Kara is a Professor of History in the Department of History, Government, & Economics and has been teaching history at NSCC since 2011. She teaches World History I, World History II, and the History of Sexuality on-site in Lynn and Danvers as well as World History II online. During the spring semester, Kara will be in Danvers DB387 on Wednesday mornings and in Lynn LS319 on Thursday afternoons and will be available to meet with faculty to brainstorm ideas around enhancing their teaching practice through the integration of innovative strategies or instructional technologies. We hope that you will stop by at some point.
