Mastering the Craft of Teaching: To Textbook or Not?
To Textbook or Not? CTAP, OER, and dealing with publishers. What do you think is the wave of the future for textbooks? Have you created a way around textbooks entirely?
The Provost’s Office of Faculty Engagement and Development (UHFED) facilitates a series of sessions called “Mastering the Craft of Teaching” each Fall and Spring since 2018. Drs. Lisa Farmer (Biology) and Rebecca Forrest (Physics) host discussions featuring special guests interested in teaching challenges and innovative teaching practices. The session is very informal and is meant to be like a group of faculty trading tips and questions in a café. We hope that you will join us and take part in the discussion too.
