[Mathregionals] FW: Opportunity for Faculty Teaching Large Enrollment Classes

[Eisworth, Todd]

Hi all,

Looking to get some department participation in this.  I think currently Monica and Mark are the only two who teach large sections like this regularly, but realistically we may need to go this direction with a couple more courses.  Please let me know if you're interested, and I'll see how firm they are about "currently teaching a course with at least 120 students".


Best,

Todd

Subject: Opportunity for Faculty Teaching Large Enrollment Classes

Dear Colleagues,

Faculty who teach large enrollment classes are incredibly valuable to our Ohio University community. They are frequently the "face" of the department and the entryway to the discipline. Studies have shown that students often change their major due to the impact of a single professor. As such, the influence of faculty members in these highly challenging courses is profound.

The Office of Instructional Innovation is piloting a series of workshops<https://www.ohio.edu/instructional-innovation/ctl/programs-and-events/large-enrollment-course.html> designed to support the faculty teaching these large enrollment classes. Utilizing best practices in teaching and learning, we aim to build a supportive community that harnesses faculty's existing expertise, and introduces ideas and resources to help enhance student engagement and success.

For more information and to register, visit the Large Enrollment Course Faculty Learning Community web page<https://www.ohio.edu/instructional-innovation/ctl/programs-and-events/large-enrollment-course.html>. The deadline to apply is March 6. Questions can be directed to oii at ohio.edu<mailto:oii at ohio.edu>.

Sincerely,
Office of Instructional Innovation<http://www.ohio.edu/instructional-innovation>
