Reminder: CETCI August Workshops on Teaching and Learning
Body
Dear Colleagues,
We would like to enthusiastically invite you to CETCI's beginning-of-semester teaching and learning workshop series. Our August sessions are:
Teaching and Learning with Moodle
Designing an Effective Moodle Site
Would you like a more streamlined and student-friendly Moodle site? In this workshop, we’ll introduce key design principles to help you create a site that supports student learning and engagement. We’ll explore ways to organize your site to reduce distractions, making it easier for students to navigate your course. You’ll also learn how to apply effective layout and visual design elements to create a clear and welcoming online environment.

Teaching and Learning at the Start of the Semester
Creating a Student-Centered Syllabus
Centering students is a powerful way to make our learning environments more equitable and inclusive. A good place to start is with the syllabus. At this interactive workshop, we will demonstrate strategies to make your syllabus more welcoming, motivational, and inclusive by making sure students and their learning are the focus from Day One.

Starting Strong: Strategies for a Successful Start to the Semester
The beginning of a new term can be a time of excitement and possibility. The first few meetings of a class provide a rare opportunity for teachers to set the tone, communicate expectations, and begin to build community, evoke curiosity, and generate excitement for the learning experiences to come. Come to this interactive workshop to explore strategies that can help you and your students make the most of your early-term encounters and build momentum that can carry you into meaningful and engaging learning experiences all the way to finals.

As always, we want to encourage you to reach out to us if you need help! Whether you need a quick answer or a big brainstorming session, we’re ready to talk with you.
