Abstract

Looking to meet new people at Mason who are in a similar situation oràworking on similar projects as you? àWelcome to ITL and this table! àJoin your fellow Mason instructors to informally discuss your experience with this table's instructor role or project. At the table, you will find desk copies of related resources (digital versions are available below), and an experienced Mason colleague who has experience and strategies related to this topic.ààNot sure what to talk about?ààHere are some conversation starters:

• Share a little about yourselves:à

  • Department

  • Years at Mason

  • Courses you are teaching

  • What excites you about teaching?

• What brought you to this table?

• What would you most like to find out about your students, about how they work or learn or respond, about what they hope for or worry about?

• What kinds of information have you already gathered about your studentsââ¬â¢ learning, either formally through structured research or informally through surveys or conversations?

• What sorts of learning challenges or learning opportunities do your students face that you think could also show up in other courses theyââ¬â¢re taking, in or beyond your program/department?

• What sorts of teaching challenges or projects would you like to work on most in the upcoming months?
