DTEI Event Calendar

Coffee Meets Teaching is a faculty speed dating program that pairs faculty to conduct causal conversions about teaching. Faculty interested in “dating” another faculty will create a “dating profile” via an online application. The profile indicates your teaching interest and teaching matters you want to discuss with other faculty. Then, meet with all of your potential dating partners speed dating-style to start conversations. All participating faculty will receive a $10 Starbucks gift card from DTEI to continue meeting with your “dates” throughout the quarter. Finally, the group meets again at the end of the quarter, to exchange their dating experiences and share the take away from their conversions.

The Division of Teaching Excellence and Innovation (DTEI) is hosting a workshop serieson Exam Digitization and Grading using tools like Canvas and Gradescope to support the assessment delivery and grading process. In this workshop, we will examine how instructors can deliver a paper-based assessment in the classroom but grade them online efficiently. Faculty guest speakers will present how they currently use Gradescope Exams to upload student exams and use Gradescope’s rubrics to facilitate consistent grading and feedback.

Guest Speakers: Brigitte Baldi, Statistics, and Natalia Chernyshoff, Social Sciences

Building a learning community in which students feel belonging, support, and connection with one another is vital for their success. But how can you develop such a community? In this workshop, you will participate in a series of collaborative activities, exercises, and discussions which convey best practices for successful classroom community-building. 

After this workshop, you will be able to:

• Summarize recent, peer-reviewed research on pedagogical community-building

•  Identify common barriers to community-building and develop tools to overcome them

• Use simple, evidence-based practices to build community in your classroom

Facilitators: Megan Cole (megancole562@gmail.com) and Will Lee (joongwl@uci.edu), Senior Pedagogical Fellows
