2021 Summer Teaching Symposium: Back to the Future

The fall 2021 semester promises a return to normal â€” but what will "normal" really look like? During the summer teaching symposium, College of Engineering and Applied Science babyÖ±²¥app came together to discuss how we continue to build a system of respect, trust, community, engagement and resilience in a place that looks familiar but is radically different in many ways.

Online Pedagogy Winter Symposium

Held Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021

The College of Engineering and Applied Science's Remote and Online Lecture Best Practices Training Working Group hosted a winter teaching symposium devoted to thinking through the lessons of fall 2020. The symposium consisted of presentations by Interim Dean Keith Molenaar, Associate Dean Rhonda Hoenigman, and numerous babyÖ±²¥app members, followed by breakout groups.

Discussion Series on Innovative Online & Remote Teaching

In summer 2020, the college hosted a weekly discussion series exploring best practices for distance and online teaching. Each seminar, hosted by Professor William Kuskin, featured a CU Engineering guest giving a short presentation on a concept, followed by an open discussion.

In addition to the babyÖ±²¥app-led seminars, summer resources included virtual office hours from Continuing Education's Learning Design Group and "Tech Fridays," an hour-long instructional design support session. All sessions have been recorded and archived so you can revisit them at your convenience.
