Popping the Bubble: Self-Study to Enhance Writing Intensive Courses
Are you an educator who feels like you are teaching alone in a “bubble”? Is it a struggle to find ways to meaningfully engage and collaborate with other higher education professionals? Are you struggling to find ways to increase student success through best instructional practices? Then join us in this session to learn all about the process of self-study! Self-study employs a collaborative and reflective approach to discuss ways to increase student engagement, ensure best practices are being implemented, and find new and innovative ideas to promote teaching excellence. At this session we will discuss the process of creating a self-study group, as well as the challenges and benefits of engaging in this research process. Target audience members include colleagues from any department who provide direct instruction to students at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, as well as in multiple formats including online, hybrid, and face to face models.
