There has been a lot of talk in Higher Education recently about the potential of active learning strategies to improve student engagement, satisfaction, retention, and overall learning. But -- is “active learning” just the latest educational fad, or something more? Participants in this workshop will:
Identify some basic principles of active learning pedagogy;
Discuss the facts and fictions about using active learning in higher education;
Assess some of the benefits and limitations of an AL approach; and
Begin the process of building a consortial database of active learning ideas.

Please note: this workshop is designed to be an introduction to active learning as a pedagogy, practice, and ethic, and assumes no prior background in AL. While primarily for newcomers, it might also serve as a “refresher” to those with previous experience using active learning approaches. All faculty and instructional staff are welcome.

Advising and mentoring are often thought to be important for students - both in terms of their satisfaction in pursuing degrees and in their persistence in college. What is the difference between advising, mentoring, and supervising and what are strategies that faculty may employ to be better advisers and mentors?
Participants in this workshop will:
Learn how the advising/mentoring needs of students differ from their first year to the final year in their undergraduate or graduate degree programs;
Discuss the ways in which advising activities may be linked to faculty service, scholarship, and teaching;
Understand how advising can be affected by department (and college structures) and the kinds of support faculty may need to be most effective;
Begin the process of developing one’s own advising strategies and pedagogies.

This workshop is designed to be an introduction to issues around faculty advising and mentoring of undergraduate and graduate students. No prior knowledge of advising and mentoring strategies is necessarily assumed and those who have extensive background in advising, those with very little, and all in between may benefit. All faculty and instructional staff are welcome.
