Description
This multi-disciplinary roundtable will discuss four distinct pedagogical transformations. These include using representations of children in world cinema to enable students to better understand the politics and formal elements of films across cultures, blending contemplative with more conventional analytical methodologies to enhance students’ comprehension of cultural production and practices, employing online learning systems to make assignment parameters more accessible to students and preserve valuable class time, and, lastly, creating assignments that encourage students to think, read, and write historically. In 2013, all four discussants received a Summer Teacher-Scholar Grant from the Office of Teaching and Learning, which support faculty efforts to achieve meaningful classroom change or renewal. The members of the roundtable will share the highs and lows they experienced in transforming their pedagogical approaches through new course design and innovations to current course offerings.
