The workshop utilizes a novel card deck developed by the facilitators. The cards include research questions\, exploration of theory and conceptual frameworks\, and an introduction to a range of methodologies. The concepts on the cards are introduced in the workshop and participants work together to construct a plan scaffolded by the cards. The “card game” consists of selecting and trading cards to create a research project. This approach not only ensures that the resulting research study has the necessary grounding in theory\, but also supports the development of a well-aligned plan. The cards introduce participants to many commonly used research paradigms\, conceptual frameworks and methodologies . The facilitators will introduce each step of the “card game” and actively work with the participants as they develop their plans. Participants can come with an idea already in mind or brainstorm ideas for a new direction in their SoTL work. \nThis workshop is open to instructors of all SoTL experience levels.

These differences have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic inequities that can impact the access and persistence of students from historically marginalized communities in higher education. Over the past four years\, the Arts & Science Student Success Programs unit\, in partnership with A&S faculty members\, academic units and upper-year students\, has begun to address these concerns through Arrive Ready\, a series of summer academic preparation learning modules to support incoming first-year students. This session will draw on the learnings of Arrive Ready and will explore how course-specific academic skill-building interventions can be curated to support student learning gaps while enhancing a sense of belonging. This workshop will highlight the creation of a BIO130 Interactive Learning Module that was created in Fall 2022 in response to faculty concerns about the limited lab experience and skills possessed by first year students. In this interactive session\, participants will have an opportunity to reflect on their own teaching and learning contexts to identify skill gaps and discuss how educational resources and technology can be utilized to address these challenges and provide additional support to students within our diverse learning contexts.NOTE: there are additional questions when you click the REGISTER button.
