Drawing on examples from your Georgia Tech colleagues, we will focus on ways to give students choice when the method doesn\u0026rsquo;t matter as much as the content, and ways to move them toward deeper learning and application of concepts, without entirely re-inventing your course.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIntrigued? \u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/ctl.gatech.edu\/node\/598756\u0022\u003ERegister here\u003C\/a\u003E!\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Join us for a teaching and learning workshop!"}],"uid":"28511","created_gmt":"2017-12-05 16:28:20","changed_gmt":"2017-12-05 16:28:20","author":"Ruth Poproski","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2018-04-04T12:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2018-04-04T14:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2018-04-04T14:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2018-04-04 16:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2018-04-04 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2018-04-04 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"168674","name":"faculty-ctl"},{"id":"168628","name":"postdoc-ctl"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"10377","name":"Career\/Professional development"},{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"},{"id":"1795","name":"Seminar\/Lecture\/Colloquium"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EFelicia Turner\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:felicia.turner@gatech.edu?subject=Faculty%20Development%20Workshop%20(9%2F21%2F17)\u0022\u003Efelicia.turner@gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
