The Teaching & Learning Forum supports faculty groups for discussion and professional learning. These are open to all instructors, and groups can be formed around a host of issues. Have an idea for a group? Contact Adam Johnston. Take a look at some groups already formed to see what you might want to join. Click on links for more information (contact person, discussions, topics, etc.).
Professional Learning Groups (2011 - 2012)
There are many other potential groups, such as the following:
- Faculty Peer Mentoring
- Undergraduate Research and Mentoring
- Grant Funding and Program Development
- Graduate program development and standards
- plus, other working groups that you would like to propose...
Let us know (tlforum@weber.edu) what you're interested in. We'll advertise your group and provide support materials.
Other potentially fruitful discussions. Maybe one of these is something others would like to pursue:
- How do we mentor undergraduate research? What models do we have for this, what innovations should we be working on, and what goals do we have?
- The Lumina Foundation suggests that we increase the percentage of college graduates in the U.S. from 38% to 60% by the year 2025. This is a tall order. Why should we do this, and how do we? (See their report here.)
- "Critical thinking" is a learning objective of many courses, programs, and general education standards. What is it? How do we teach such a thing? Is it ever really learned? (The Foundation for Critical Thinking has some food for thought and resources.)
- What are effective models for general education curricula that are effective in meeting learning outcomes? What course reforms might be necessary?
- What is the meaning of a university degree, whether it's an associate's, bachelor's, or master's degree?
- What does it mean to be a "scholar?" In a new era of knowledge, is creating original research as valuable as it used to be? If not, what is our responsibility to society as university faculty?

Like the author, we noted our own impatience with anything that takes too much time. We notice that students don't seem to want to read books or check sources (although one person has been surprised that students have enjoyed reading non-textbook books that he has assigned). Overall, the discussion was interesting; we were lucky to have such a diverse group of people from different departments and colleges in our group.shafenSusan Hafen2010-11-23 01:13:46+00:002010-11-23 01:13:46updated9lmouldingLouise Moulding2010-11-15 20:26:03+00:002010-11-15 20:26:03updated8Added tag - hothhandleyHelen Handley2010-11-08 19:55:16+00:002010-11-08 19:55:16addTag7hhandleyHelen Handley2010-10-27 19:14:27+00:002010-10-27 19:14:27updated6hhandleyHelen Handley2010-10-27 19:12:41+00:002010-10-27 19:12:41updated5patriciadejongPat DeJong2010-10-25 20:51:12+00:002010-10-25 20:51:12updated4ajohnstonAdam Johnston2010-10-20 23:44:10+00:002010-10-20 23:44:10updated3link to new page addedgniklasonGail Niklason2010-10-20 20:28:34+00:002010-10-20 20:28:34updated2First createdajohnstonAdam Johnston2010-09-04 13:58:57+00:002010-09-04 13:58:57created1wiki2011-11-22T20:15:36+00:00groups/TLF/wiki/d9287FalseBook groups/groups/TLF/wiki/d9287/Book_groups.htmlPat DeJong19 updatesBook groups

How about a group to discuss "graduate" research?
There does not appear to be a support system on campus yet for graduate students. Grad students need help with funding for research and for attending/presenting at conferences. They could also use assistance and mentoring in publishing their papers.
A support system for grad students across different disciplines would be useful as well. What do you think? Anybody want to play?

Use of TurningPoint Student Response System - Clickers
I had a student demonstrate the use of the TurningPoint Student Response System and the technology that can go along with that system. We learned the importance of student participation and engaging students using this technology - great faculty resources.
Thanks!
