Teaching and Scholarship Hub

A University’s learning management system (LMS) is a foundational digital pedagogy tool that helps faculty teach and students learn. For the fall 2022 semester, faculty will come together to discuss the role of this tool in their teaching both in the past but also in the future. The pandemic dramatically altered the way many of us teach and the LMS played a big role in that – the fall 2022 digital pedagogy cohort on the LMS looks to continue the exploration into the ways the LMS can impact student learning.  

We will have 7 one-hour meetings (4: in-person lunches, 3: via Zoom) over the course of the fall semester – a cohort kick off lunch will be the week of August 22nd (specific date/time will be set based on availability of cohort members). Meeting topics will depend on the cohort members’ interests but will likely include conversations about ways the LMS can facilitate communication, active learning, and efficient grading.
