Event Reports
Excellent Teaching from the Very Last Day
The center invited Dr. William Rando, the director of McDougal Graduate Teaching Center at Yale, to speak to NTU’s faculty members and Teaching assistants with respect to a backward-design teaching strategy on April 25th. The speech, entitled “Excellent Teaching from the Very Last Day”, introduced objective-driven, intentional teaching and the core principles of Backward Design as a guide for inspiring teaching. Dr. Rando encouraged audiences to discover what they were good at and then to become a teacher who they really wanted to be. Over 80 audiences gathered together at the library auditorium of NTU and enjoyed an stimulating talk.
The Division of Multimedia and E-Learning at the Center of Teaching and Learning Development provided a series of E-Learning Workshop in 2007. We invited professors from NTU and other universities, photographers, multimedia designers, and experienced teaching assistants to share their knowledge and experience. Topics in 2007 included intellectual property and copyright of teaching materials, development of computer-assisted teaching materials, photography, video taping and editing techniques, use of class management platform, and application of learning technologies in large-enrollment classes. We have received positive feedback from participants regarding the usefulness of our workshops. With permissions from the speakers, the workshops will be available soon in the NTU Speech website.
