Teaching Teamwork to Faculty, Staff, and Students in the Classroom and Online

Audience Level: 
All
Institutional Level: 
Higher Ed
Special Session: 
Blended
Abstract: 

It is especially challenging to engage all forms of learners in topics such as leadership, communication, and behaviors that make for effective teams.  This is true in part because discussions have been too theoretical and seem impractical or irrelevant; we have not been truly and deeply engaged in the conversation.  In this session, you will experience and see demonstrated a simple classroom engaged learning activity that can be directly translated into the online environment.  The learning objectives for this activity will be identical in both instructional environments, but the delivery will adapt to each unique learning opportunity.  Take these ideas and use them, or utilize this workshop as a launchpad to generate ideas of your own.  Additional, free resources will be shared that will help you explore and implement creative new solutions in the midst of our current and dynamic learning environment.
