2013 Teaching with Writing Course Development Workshop

May 20-24, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm

How would you like to have that new prep for fall 2013 completely planned out before the end of May? If you are planning to use writing in a new course or a revision of a course, apply to participate in this year’s Teaching with Writing Course Development Workshop. The workshop provides an opportunity to work on course development with the input of colleagues from across campus. Along the way you’ll learn about best practices for teaching with writing, including ways to use writing to promote learning and ways to teach students the writing conventions of their disciplines.

Sponsored by the Office of Instructional Development and Writing Across the Curriculum, Teaching with Writing is a five-day workshop that takes place annually in late May. Each day, the group meets in the morning for four hours of collaborative activities and discussion. In the afternoon, participants read assigned texts and draft course materials. At the end of the workshop, participants will have a final version of the syllabus and assignment handouts for one course. They will also have a plan for coaching and evaluating the assignments.

The workshop is open to all UND faculty planning to incorporate writing in a new course or a revision of an existing course. Writing can be used in the course in a variety of ways—from quick, in-class journal entries to dissertation proposals and everything in between. Any course can qualify if the instructor plans to use writing as a learning tool, a learning outcome, or an assessment tool.

The workshop will take place May 20-24 from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm on campus. Participants receive a $500 stipend (subject to standard deductions) and workshop materials.

The workshop is limited to 12 participants. Applications are reviewed as they are received, so it is advantageous to apply early. The application deadline is April 30.

To apply, complete the online application on the Writng Across the Curriculum website.

This 8 day seminar/workshop, sponsored by OID and facilitated by the Center for Instructional and Learning Technology (CILT), is designed for faculty interested in using technology to enhance traditional classroom teaching. This includes those who are just getting started using technology, those who are thinking about using it, and those who have used it in limited ways but want to reconsider how they are using it. In this context, “technology” includes such things as course web sites (Blackboard), web research projects, tutorials and animations, social software (wikis, blogs, and journals), “clickers” (audience response system), SecondLife, podcasting and other audio and video enhancements.

Registration is limited to 10 faculty, and a $500 stipend (subject to standard deductions) is offered. The application deadline is April 1 and full application information is available on the CILT website.

 Once again in collaboration with OID, CILT will offer a second technology related workshop. This 8 day seminar/workshop is for faculty who want to figure out ways that technology can further enhance online courses. The workshop is designed for everyone, from complete novice to almost expert, who wants to consider (or reconsider) how technology impacts their online teaching. The workshop embraces the same definition of “technology” as the TwT workshop for on campus courses: Blackboard, web research projects, tutorials and animations, social software, audience response system, etc.

Registration is limited to 10 faculty, and a $500 stipend (subject to standard deductions) is offered. The application deadline is April 1 and full application information is available on the CILT website.
