With in-person learning greatly diminished during the pandemic, where does active learning stand now and where is it headed? In Active Learning for a Post-Pandemic World, a panel of learning experts, including Eric Mazur of Harvard University, joins The Chronicle to help answer that key question.

Early Career Teaching Tips Potluck

Friday, March 19, 2021 - 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Online

A few months into the semester, and we're all probably about ready for a teaching tip or two to invigorate our courses. During this "virtual potluck," each participant will share one teaching idea, or they'll bring a specific teaching question to the group for brainstorming. Although the exact content of the session is impossible to predict (because it depends on the participants), past early-career discussions of this sort have focused on synchronous and asynchronous engagement, managing student emails, strategies for efficient grading, specific teaching technologies, and more.
