TEACHING AND LEARNING the UIF team holds workshops that train faculty to teach in way you want to learn Three times each year, we host the Teaching and Learning Studio (TLS) workshop for higher education teachers and administrators. At this five-day event, participants use design thinking to create student-centric learning experiences, inside and outside of the classroom. So essentially, they’re learning to think like Fellows. These faculty get to learn from Fellows too! Half of the TLS
teaching team is comprised of Fellows who have gained significant facilitation and teaching experience in the years since they graduated. Do you wish your professors and colleagues taught using methods we use at the UIF Silicon Valley Meetup? Send them to bit.ly/uiftls to apply. As a bonus, faculty who have Fellows at their schools receive a discount.
You’ll experience “sneaky little experiments” at the Meetup. These are quick, easy ways you can test your new project ideas before investing a ton of time and resources.
A lot has changed as a result of my experience at TLS, but to sum it up: sneaky little experiments! I have changed the way I design and conduct my classes thanks to the concepts of experiments and keeping the student in the center of everything. 48
