Faculty will develop an investigative case-based learning module for a course they are planning to teach in the next academic year. Each module should incorporate open-ended problems to initiate student centered investigation as well as emphasize the resources and tools students need to use in addressing these problems. The workshop will focus on implementation issues, including new technology in the classroom, assessment strategies, and preparing students for problem solving in the classroom. Participants should bring a syllabus for their course. In addition, once their module is under development, participants should be able to access text(s), lab(s), programs, activities, etc. intended for use during the course. Participants should be prepared to work collaboratively in small groups as well as independently.
To apply, send a paragraph
to Pat Marsteller at pmars@learnlink.emory.edu
describing the course(s) you teach that you'd like modify. Participants
will receive a stipend.
