All faculty are invited to attend. These workshops, organized by Gen Ed and CTL, promise useful teaching strategies for both new and seasoned faculty, taught by our own local experts.
Future Auggie Panel on Tech Expectations 4/15
Lindell 301
Friday April 15, 2016
3 - 4:30PM
What do future Auggies expect from Augsburg when it comes to technology?
What do future Auggies expect from their courses, faculty and campus?
The Augsburg IT Department is sponsoring a future student panel to explore what technology future Auggies expect. Come see a panel, moderated by a current Auggie, where three incoming first year students will talk about what they expect from Augsburg's technology.
Teenagers have grown up in a world where technology is everywhere and how they learn is infused with technology. Many K-12 systems have laptop programs, smartboards, and use tools like moodle. This sets an expectation and shapes how they learn -- we need to understand this digital reality so we can help students succeed in the college environment. Come and hear from this panel and engage with them on questions you have about their digital reality.

Wed. - Campus Controversy and Civic Agency
Navigating Hot Topics: The Civic Agency Approach to Constructive Engagement and Discussion
Faculty, students and staff are invited to a lively and productive discussion about "Navigating Hot Button Topics" with Harry Boyte and others from the Sabo Center. Building on conversations initiated by Doug Green, Jacqueline deVries and others at Augsburg, we will hear about people's experiences with controversies in teaching, discuss the current debates about free speech, "coddling," and "safe spaces," and look at what an approach based on civic agency and "free spaces" might contribute. We hope this contributes to a growing public culture of exchange and learning on the campus about these questions, which are central to our education and democratic purposes.

New Process Proposed for Study-Away Courses
The Office of Academic Affairs and the Center of Global Education and Experience are working to develop and implement a new process for off-campus course approvals. The new process will ensure initial screening for financial viability and institutional risk; it will also support a collaborative review (including the department and dean) to identify required resources in advance of the annual spring budget development cycle. Courses and programs deemed viable in the initial screening by Academic Affairs and CGEE would then move through the academic approval process, if/as necessary. We expect to implement the new process toward the end of the 16-17 academic year, with a submission deadline in November 2017 for any study-away courses proposed for the 18-19 fiscal year.
