On Thursday, September 1 from 11am-12:15pm, the CEP offered a hands-on "Teaching Modularly in CourseWorks" virtual session, where CEP staff described the benefits of modular teaching and learning, which enables flexible course design for changing teaching modalities. Participants saw examples of Barnard courses utilizing the modules feature in CourseWorks, and then craft a plan to update their courses based on examples. CEP staff provided a course template for participants to adopt or adapt.
Additionally, on Monday, August 29 from 1-2:15 PM, IMATS offered an "Introduction to CourseWorks" virtual session, to provide an overview and answer questions about the fundamentals of CourseWorks in preparation for the fall semester. From the fundamentals of course organization to efficient grading techniques, this introductory session equipped participants with CourseWorks tools for teaching in changing modalities.
**All faculty were welcome to attend both sessions, but if you are new to CourseWorks, we recommend that faculty attend the "Introduction to CourseWorks" session prior to attending the "Teaching Modularly" session.
In addition to the sessions above, faculty were also welcome to attend virtual CourseWorks and Zoom Office Hours with IMATS and the CEP from 1-3pm on August 30 & 31 and September 1 & 2 to ask questions about CourseWorks and Zoom functionality or work on updates to their courses in a supportive space.
