*SPRING 2018*
SELECTED WORKSHOPS
All of the following workshops involve hands-on activities using tools, techniques, and strategies. Bring your laptops!
Teaching with Primary Sources and Rare Books: Thursday, March 1st from 12:40pm to 2:00pm
Location: Milne Archives and Special Collections, Dimond Library Level 1
CEITL Participation: 1 point
Please register by February 27.
Archives, special collections, and rare books provide wide-ranging sources for original research; however, the traditional class visit “show & tell” often does not promote meaningful student engagement and learning. Increasingly, archivists and librarians are using active learning techniques to promote student-centered, hands-on learning and reflection in a variety of disciplines. We will demonstrate both the techniques used to promote the desired learning outcomes, and discuss strategies for introducing active learning and exercises/assignments using primary resources into the classroom.
