|
|
|
|
|
With the darkest nights of winter solstice (December 21st) behind us, our Northern Hemisphere turns toward longer days and a semester of new relationships, beloved course content, and the eternal question of how to best engage our students. But as the days gradually lengthen, these dark, quiet nights offer a valuable opportunity to reflect on what went well last semester and what pedagogical choices you want to preserve or tweak. To help guide this reflective process, we’ve put together a few questions to contemplate and a few “greatest hits” in teaching tips to consider.

This semester’s AI in Action series starts early with a session designed to help you explore opportunities for Scholarship of Teaching and Learning with AI. Stephanie Freis will guide participants through AI-related SoTL questions and how to use FDC’s umbrella IRB. She will also be unveiling the exciting new SoTL Bot she’s been designing to help faculty think through their SoTL ideas. Participants will be able to try out the new bot and provide feedback for refining it.

Call for Nominations: The Associated Colleges of the South (ACS) Summer Teaching Workshop
|
|
|
|
Spring semester hasn’t even started and already we’re looking ahead to the summer! At the risk of being a little too future-focused, we wanted to make sure the ACS Summer Teaching & Learning Workshop is on your radar as you develop your summer plans. The 2026 edition of this transformative teaching and learning workshop is set for June 1-6, 2026 at Rollins College. Now in its 33rd year, this cohort-based week-long opportunity benefits faculty at any stage of their career—those new to the classroom to those interested in reinvigorating their practice—opportunities to learn about and apply evidence-based instructional strategies through panel discussions and microteaching.
