The Association for Authentic, Experiential and Evidence-Based Learning (AAEEBL) invites you to participate in its virtual Annual Meeting in July 2020. It is free and open to everyone.

The conference sessions will be shared over the course of the month of July, to be viewed asynchronously.

Visit the AAEEBL website to learn more about the event.

What's new and different:

  • Learn: AAEEBL has taken four original conference themes -- portfolio pedagogy, digital ethics, engaging campus stakeholders, and high impact practices -- and turned them into four weeks of asynchronous and synchronous events. Every live session will be recorded.
  • Apply: Each week's activities are designed to support faculty as they move from learning about a topic to putting those concepts into action. Live 'playshops' will support participants at every level of experience.
  • Share: Each week AAEEBL will curate a gallery of resources, tools and strategies shared by the community during synchronous discussions and an asynchronous 'collaboratory.'

 

 

Published on Leave a comment on Educating for Democratic Justice: New Resource from the AAC&U

The Association of American Colleges and Universities has recently launched a new webpage listing resource links.  Educating for Democratic Justice: Civic Teaching Online, Anti-Racism Resources, and Assessment.

The resource is created, "for members of higher education committed to engaged, participatory, collective civic learning through differences worried that moving all learning online would diminish the transformative learning possible as well as offering resources on anti-racism, a dimension of civic learning and democratic engagement, and key assessments for civic and diversity learning."

This page offers some beginning steps in three areas:  online civic engagement strategies in the time of COVID-19; anti-racism resources; and ways to assess student civic learning.
