Workshop topics
The following is a list of workshops we have conducted in recent years. Many of these workshops have been held in cooperation with the UNH Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. We have compiled this list to suggest a range of topics you could propose for a campus-wide or departmental workshop; workshops might also involve a combination of these topics. And we will be happy to work with you to develop new ideas not listed here.
