Learning Coalition

Learning requires establishment of a coalition between the learners and between the faculty and the learners for the class to succeed.

In these hands-on workshops we:

  • Understand the role of empathy with students and their learning needs
  • Create a learning environment that increases engagement with students and motivates them to go beyond their own disciplines
  • Design project-based courses, new assessment approaches, and ENABLE based pedagogical experiences that are more hands on in nature
  • Apply learning from the workshop to design experiences in individual context and courses
  • Explore collaborations and interdisciplinary course design between faculty members from different schools

We have held the following workshops under Learning Coalitions:
