Teaching with the Chazen

Oct. 10 | 12-1:30 p.m. | In person at the Chazen Museum of Art

Whatever the topic of your course, art can provide unexpected and memorable ways to engage students. Join Berit Ness, M.A., Chief Engagement Officer at the Chazen Museum of Art, in a discussion about interdisciplinary partnership opportunities for UW-Madison instructors. This session will include a museum tour – please let us know if you have specific mobility preferences or requirements. Space is limited.

Games and Learning

Oct. 24 | 12-1:30 p.m. | Zoom

Like good teaching, good games offer curiosity, challenge, and choice. Join John Martin, Ph.D., to explore game-like teaching strategies that support student motivations, interactions, and engagement. We’ll consider how different learners connect with different challenges — and how thoughtful design can foster playful learning and collaboration.

Authentic Assessments

Nov. 7 | 12-1:30 p.m. | Zoom

Learn about designing authentic assessments that align with course outcomes and promote meaningful student learning in this session with Mary Thompson, Ph.D., Senior Assessment Manager in the Division for Teaching and Learning. You will leave with practical tools, sample assessments, and actionable ideas to implement in your own courses.

Effective Course Management

Nov. 14 | 12-1:30 p.m. | Zoom

Join Karen Skibba, Ph.D., for a session that will give you approaches to apply on day one of spring semester. Explore strategies to help you (and your students) effectively manage time, including: developing an effective orientation, communicating expectations, arriving to class prepared, and planning time effectively.
