The
University and College Teaching program is designed to provide training in
conjunction with face-to-face workshops or online instructor training programs
offered by college campuses, and contains 9 courses of two hours each, plus 180
additional hours of associated activities. “The courses are a unique blend of
rigorous course content alongside interactive activities, all firmly rooted in
the latest online pedagogic theory,” according to David Babington-Smith, CEO of
Epigeum. "The overarching goal of the University and College Teaching
program is to enable instructors to deliver compelling courses that will ensure
student success."
Epigeum
has already conducted several implementation workshops to support the earliest
adopters of the University and College Teaching program, including Florida
International University, the University of South Florida, and the New York
Institute of Technology.
Contributors
to the program include well-known faculty practitioners such as: Graham Gibbs,
former director of the Oxford Learning Center; Marilla Svinicki of the
University of Texas at Austin; Nancy Chism from Indiana University-Purdue
University Indianapolis; Mike Theall of Youngstown State University and Barbara
Gross Davis from the University of California, Berkeley, among others. Course
topics include effective lecturing, resources to enhance student learning,
making the most of discussion, supervising projects and dissertations, giving
feedback, designing a course, and teaching with patients.
