"Teaching Distracted Minds" by James Lang
Dr. James Lang (author of Distracted: Why Students Can’t Focus and What You Can Do About It) draws upon scholarship from history, neuroscience, and education in order to argue that distractions are endemic to the human condition, and can’t be walled out of the physical classroom or online course. He suggests we should focus on creating educational experiences that cultivate and sustain attention. Thanks to the wonderful efforts of the Graduate School’s Office of Professional Development and the support of the Provost’s Office, we’re helping to bring Lang back to discuss how we can create educational experiences that cultivate and sustain attention.

Strategy Swap: How Do You Keep Students Showing up and Engaging?
Strategy Swap: Session 3
We like your ideas! Faculty have requested more opportunities to hear from each other and share online teaching practices, so this spring CTL is piloting a “Strategy Swap” series. These informal sessions, with smaller groups of faculty, will allow you to meet with CTL staff, share a teaching strategy with your colleagues, build community around teaching, and walk away with new ideas. Each “Strategy Swap” session will focus on a specific, timely question we’ve heard faculty ask at events and in consultations. Join us to find some answers! For more information about Strategy Swap sessions, please visit our Event Page.
