This May, TLI will host 35 faculty as a part of our Course Redesign Institute. All nine undergraduate-serving colleges will be represented in our group of participants. Participants will take part in one of three tracks:
- Experience Learning Course Designation
- Inclusive Teaching
- Positive Psychology in Higher Education
Faculty leaders and/or faculty consultants with expertise in the track topic will support participants as they work to redesign a course that they teach.
Experience Learning Course Designation Track
Information related to this track will be focused on the university’s Experience Learning course designation system for service-learning, undergraduate research, and internship courses. Our university’s recent QEP serves as the foundation for this opportunity.
