NEW RESEARCH PROJECTS
SoTL Projects Have a look at the breadth and depth of SoTL projects initiated this fiscal year (April to November 2021) PROJECT TITLE: Course Syllabi Design and Learning/
Engagement
Principal Investigator: Jennifer Ball Faculty: FLA Project summary: The Investigator will work with a professional graphic recorder to design and deploy a hand-drawn “live” digital mind-map model of the course syllabus for a new course, GGRN 100: Foundations of Sustainability. Images on this syllabus can be hyperlinked to the free (open-access or Humber Library hosted) resources and to the bios of guest speakers. Most importantly, this re-designed course syllabus would visually depict the purpose and relationships of the unit topics and reading, watching, and listening materials. As a result, the Investigator predicts that they will observe a greater engagement with the course syllabus. They would also like to know if the graphic syllabus draws attention to the course/program in the sense that students may share it with others outside of the course/program.
