Team Learning Basics - Spring 2024

April 29 - June 2, 2024 | Fully online

Workshop Description

This five-week asynchronous online workshop provides an overview of team learning in higher education classrooms. Participants will discuss the benefits and challenges of team learning, explore team learning models and methods, determine when and why you might include team activities in your classes, and apply best practices for creating, managing, and assessing team learning activities. A $500 stipend is available for eligible participants.

Assignments and Due Dates

This workshop takes place from April 29 to June 2 with weekly assignments due on Sundays to accommodate your teaching schedules. Two assignments will involve working on a small team with your cohort peers to complete a short activity. These will be synchronous activities via Zoom, in-person, or another medium of your choice, during a time of your choosing. For the final assignment, you will apply what you've learned by creating a team learning activity for one of your classes and conducting a peer review for a colleague.
