Making Learning Stick: Using Research and Reflection

Workshop by M'Hammed Abdous.

Students tend to forget most of what they learn within weeks. This workshop addresses this issue by encouraging faculty to consider how structured reflection and student research foster long-lasting understanding. Participants will examine cognitive science findings on memory and transfer and explore discipline-specific examples that connect classroom learning to professional practice. The session concludes with the hands-on creation of reflection prompts and research tasks tailored to individual courses.

  • Delivery Style
    Zoom
  • Objectives
    • Apply cognitive science principles about reflection and inquiry to improve student retention and application.
    • Examine successful reflection practices in STEM, the humanities, health sciences, and the social sciences.
    • Create discipline-appropriate reflection prompts or research assignments that deepen conceptual understanding.
    • Share tested strategies with colleagues and adapt promising approaches to specific course contexts.

Workshop by Stephanie Finley-Croswhite.

Hop on ZOOM and devote your time to thinking, researching, writing…engaging in your scholarly work. Come for as long as you can. If you can’t stay the entire time, that’s fine. An Open-Write is an online space where you meet others (briefly) and dedicate your time to working on your scholarly projects. There are brief check-ins at the top of the hours, but mostly you will be working on your own to carve out time to enhance your scholarly productivity.

    Helen Crompton, Executive Director, Research Institute of Digital Innovation in Learning (RIDIL), Professor of Instructional Technology

  • Writing with Co-Authors, 
    Holly Gaff, Professor and Chair of Biology
    11:00-11:30am: 
    It can be challenging enough to figure out how you best can get writing done, but it is even harder when you have to work with co-authors. We will cover some basic options for how to bring a paper together with other people whether they are near or far.
     
  • Book Publishing, 
    Annette Finley-Croswhite, Director, Center for Faculty Development, Professor of History
  • 11:30-12:00 noon:

Help Students Use Feedback

Workshop by M'Hammed Abdous.

Most student feedback is ignored, filed away, or only glanced at for grades. This workshop transforms feedback from a one-way critique into a powerful learning tool that students actively use. Participants will explore what research reveals about the timing and structure of effective feedback, and examine models that spark genuine improvement rather than defensiveness. Faculty will leave with practical systems for creating feedback loops that save time while developing student skills.

  • Delivery Style
    Zoom
  • Objectives
    • Design feedback that students can understand, value, and act upon based on formative assessment research.
    • Cultivate classroom cultures where feedback drives growth rather than anxiety or grade-focused thinking.
    • Create structured feedback-response cycles that require students to engage with and apply instructor comments.
    • Streamline feedback delivery through the strategic use of rubrics, learning management system (LMS) tools, and peer review systems.

Webinar by Anthony Perez.

We can't control the attitudes and beliefs that students bring into the classroom at the start of the semester. However, we can cultivate a classroom culture that sets the conditions for students to be motivated and engaged in our courses. I will discuss how the messages we communicate and the classroom structures we create can support or thwart adaptive student motivation and belonging.

DoT-Contested Realities: Decision Frames and Difficult Conversations

Webinar by Jason O'Toole.

Having difficult conversations is a skill that requires practice. Simply stating that we want our graduates to be insightful and prospective leaders who promote empathy, mutual understanding, and recognition of differences is not enough. It is crucial that we give our students the theoretical foundations and opportunities to practice engaging in difficult conversations, especially when ideological differences seem to be widening. I will share lessons I've learned from teaching management classes and offer insights and ideas on how I’ve invited and encouraged my students to actively participate in difficult conversations, both in synchronous and asynchronous learning environments.

Making Learning Stick: Using Research and Reflection

Workshop by M'Hammed Abdous.

Students tend to forget most of what they learn within weeks. This workshop addresses this issue by encouraging faculty to consider how structured reflection and student research foster long-lasting understanding. Participants will examine cognitive science findings on memory and transfer and explore discipline-specific examples that connect classroom learning to professional practice. The session concludes with the hands-on creation of reflection prompts and research tasks tailored to individual courses.

  • Delivery Style
    Zoom
  • Objectives
    • Apply cognitive science principles about reflection and inquiry to improve student retention and application.
    • Examine successful reflection practices in STEM, the humanities, health sciences, and the social sciences.
    • Create discipline-appropriate reflection prompts or research assignments that deepen conceptual understanding.
    • Share tested strategies with colleagues and adapt promising approaches to specific course contexts.

Help Students Use Feedback

Workshop by M'Hammed Abdous.

Most student feedback is ignored, filed away, or only glanced at for grades. This workshop transforms feedback from a one-way critique into a powerful learning tool that students actively use. Participants will explore what research reveals about the timing and structure of effective feedback, and examine models that spark genuine improvement rather than defensiveness. Faculty will leave with practical systems for creating feedback loops that save time while developing student skills.

  • Delivery Style
    Zoom
  • Objectives
    • Design feedback that students can understand, value, and act upon based on formative assessment research.
    • Cultivate classroom cultures where feedback drives growth rather than anxiety or grade-focused thinking.
    • Create structured feedback-response cycles that require students to engage with and apply instructor comments.
    • Streamline feedback delivery through the strategic use of rubrics, learning management system (LMS) tools, and peer review systems.

Keep Students Focused

Workshop by Cfd Staff.

Even in well-designed courses, phones buzz, minds wander, and students check out. This workshop addresses distraction head-on, drawing on findings from attention research and classroom studies. Participants will identify the biggest focus killers in their teaching environments and then practice small but powerful techniques that recapture student attention without overhauling their courses. Faculty will walk away with ready-to-use activities that have been tested in large lectures, online classes, and discussion-heavy seminars.

  • Delivery Style
    Zoom
  • Objectives
    • Recognize common attention barriers in modern classrooms and their impact on student learning.
    • Apply research-backed techniques that quickly restore focus and sustain engagement throughout class sessions.
    • Design one active learning element tailored to the size, format, and student population of the course.
    • Adapt proven attention strategies for in-person and digital learning environments.
