Minneapolis workshop: Designing a high-structure course to support students’ self-testing and metacognition

  • University of Minnesota (@ SABER meeting) 222 Pleasant Street Southeast Minneapolis, MN, 55455 United States (map)

Have you found that your students need more support to succeed in their college biology courses? Are you curious about ways to incorporate research-backed teaching and learning strategies in your course?

Join us as we dive into the research behind evidence-based teaching practices that improve learning outcomes and support student equity. You will collaborate with like-minded colleagues across institutions while building a course module in the Codon Learning platform.

Workshop goals:

  • Identify ways that transparent and measurable learning objectives can be used effectively by your students.

  • Connect different parts of the Codon Learning platform with the evidence-based practices they support, such as high-structure course design and metacognition.

  • Design a high-structure module in Codon Learning that you can share with students and colleagues.

This event is free to attend. You’re welcome to join as an individual or as a team of instructors. To fully participate in the do-it-yourself (DIY) components of the workshop, please bring a computer. Register today to secure your spot:
