The workshops described on this page were designed to help Lehigh faculty and TAs as they undertake course development work for Fall 2020. All Lehigh faculty, instructional staff, and teaching assistants are welcome to attend.
Each workshop offered resources to pre-read/pre-watch and a Zoom session that offers
- a brief overview of the topic,
- brief presentations and guidance from faculty peers and CITL staff,
- time for Q&A,
- transition at 60 minutes for those who need to leave after the hour, and
- 30 minutes of guided, practical work on the topic, designed to help you in your individual course development work.
These workshops were developed by the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL) and the Faculty Senate Working Group on Online Teaching and Online Curriculum, in coordination with the Provost's and College Deans' Offices.
They are supplemental to
- the Preparing to Teach in Fall 2021 guidelines,
- the Preparing to Teach in Fall 2020 guidelines,
- the Step-by-step Guide to Preparing to Teach A Blended, Hybrid, or Fully Online Course, which instructors are encouraged to use at their own pace,
- the LTS Teaching and Learning Searchable Knowledge Base, where you can find answers to a broad range of questions,
- the CITL Teaching Resources Page,
- recordings of past workshops on related topics, and
- the workshops held in May and June in the College of Education, College of Business, and College of Health.
Additional information about these workshops, including descriptions, pre-reads, and registration will be added to the week-by-week schedule at the bottom of this page.
Recordings of all workshops will be added to the schedule below shortly after the session is completed.
