| CETL | Using Groups and Teams: A Practical Approach (Forming, Using, and Troubleshooting Groups and Teams) | Fri, 16 Nov 2018 | 1:30pm - 3:30pm | 11/22 | David Creelman (English, UNBSJ; 3M National Teaching Fellow)
| In this two hour workshop we will focus on how to use groups / teams in the classroom. We will focus on techniques that can be used to form diverse and effective groups/teams. We will outline the key principles about how to use groups/teams, and we will consider both the low risk and the high risk activities teams can undertake, including such diverse group activities as discussion groups, cross-over groups, debates, Readiness Assurance Activities, and games. We will also examine some different forms of peer assessment and tackle some of the challenges that come with assessing groups. Finally we will explore some of the biggest challenges in using teams in the current classroom; developing teams in accordance with the principles of student accessibility and figuring out how to deal with teams that become dysfunctional. This workshop will emphasize practical tips to help integrate groups/teams into your classes, and will include strong interactive components.

| CETL | Tech-Enabled (But Not Tech-Dominated!) Teaching | Tue, 20 Nov 2018 | 2:30pm - 3:30pm | 10/20 | Bryan Crawford (Biology), Nick Hardy (Sociology) and Jon Sensinger (ECE)
| At its best, a technologically enabled classroom is a means to an end, assisting instructors by providing them with strong, multi-faceted, and integrated support for multiple kinds of classrooms (regular, flipped, or blended). At its worst, technology can become an end in itself, turning the classroom into an “edutainment” centre. In the Spring of 2018 a small group of colleagues from across UNB met to talk about how “teaching can be taken beyond PowerPoint” without lessons becoming focused upon a technology itself. This CETL talk by Bryan Crawford (Biology), Nick Hardy (Sociology), and Jon Sensinger (Electrical & Computer Engineering) covers some key points from that discussion. The two experienced users of teaching technologies will share some of the tech-enabled classroom tactics and strategies they use. The third, who is taking his initial steps at reimagining his classroom teaching, will share his early experiences, both trials and triumphs.

| Full | CETL | Using Whiteboard Animation Videos to Make Learning Fun | Fri, 23 Nov 2018 | 10:00am - 11:30am | Full | Mary Astorino and Nancy Wood
| Video is a great way to explain complicated ideas in a straightforward and memorable way. Animated explainer videos combine storytelling, music and visuals to make complex concepts more understandable. Most people prefer to learn visually, making explainer videos a tool that appeals to a broad spectrum of students. This hands-on workshop will introduce you to the whiteboard animation software, VideoScribe with which you will draw and record an illustrated story.

| CETL | ComPAIR: A Flexible Teaching Technology for Facilitating Peer Evaluation | Mon, 26 Nov 2018 | 2:30pm - 3:30pm | 4/25 | James Charbonneau (UBC)
| We introduce ComPAIR, an open source, peer feedback and teaching technology developed at UBC that provides students a safe, flexible environment to develop the skill of evaluating another person’s work, and in turn, receive evaluations from their peers.
Particularly in introductory courses, the effectiveness of peer feedback can be limited by the relative newness of students to both the course content and the skills involved in providing good feedback. ComPAIR makes use of students’ inherent ability and desire to compare: according to the psychological principle of comparative judgement, novices are much better at choosing the “better” of two answers than they are at giving those answers an absolute score. By scaffolding peer feedback through comparisons, ComPAIR provides an engaging, simple, and safe environment that supports two distinct outcomes: 1) students learn how to assess their own work and that of others in a way that 2) facilitates the learning of subtle aspects of course content through the act of comparing.
The presentation will focus on the usage of ComPAIR in the classroom. What kind of assignments work well? What does student workflow look like? What does the instructor workflow look like? You'll also have the opportunity to use the software from the perspective of an instructor, course administrator, and student.
