Webinar Description

This webinar will introduce the 2YC community to state-of-the-art InTeGrate teaching materials. These recently developed, thoroughly tested, data-rich activities provide up front learning outcomes, embedded assessment tools, and instructor stories from 2YC institutions. Following a brief introduction to the InTeGrate materials, authors from two of the published modules will share some of their experiences using these materials in their own 2YC classrooms. Presentations will also touch on concerns unique to 2YCs such as scaffolding for non-GE-ready students and how to get administrative buy-in if that is a concern at your institution. Following the presentations we will have a question and answer period where participants can ask specific questions. This webinar is also a launching pad that will describe additional opportunities to learn more about and use InTeGrate materials in your 2YC classroom.

Format: Online web presentation via Adobe Connect web conference software with questions and discussion. Participants will receive an email with instructions detailing how to log into the event after the registration period has closed. Participation requires an internet connected computer and a phone line. For additional information on the format, see the Technology page.
