Refresh Your Research Assignment Faculty Workshop

Where: Merrill-Cazier Library, Innovation Hub

When: Wednesday, December 3^rd from 1:30 – 3:30pm

One of the major factors in helping students learn research skills is giving students authentic, interesting ways to practice and develop those skills.

As a partner in student learning, the Library is holding an afternoon workshop in which faculty engage in collaborative assignment redesign. The theme for this workshop is integrating technology effectively into assignments, whether you already have technology integrations (e.g. podcasts, digital exhibits, GIS, website creation, VR, etc...) or are just interested in exploring the possibility. See our new toolkit for ideas and information on technologies available in our new Library Innovation Hub: https://libguides.usu.edu/integratingtechnology

This dynamic event will provide an opportunity for intensive peer feedback from an interdisciplinary group of colleagues, including librarians. Apply for your spot today!

We hope to recruit faculty from a range of departments and statewide campuses who are committed to providing students with better, more innovative opportunities to learn research skills in their disciplines.
