Abstract
This whirlwind workshop presents instructors with key pedagogical questions that often arise in developing classroom materials and then allows participants to collaboratively share their thoughts and approaches to these problems via innovation stations with dry erase board tabletop surfaces. These surfaces have partitioned spaces that allow for brainstorming, listing scholarship, ideation, and sharing activities. Several tables also offer participants to pose their own questions for others to collaborate around. As each table rotates, groups may encounter another question to explore and gather ideas the previous group has constructed. Participants are encouraged to network, take pictures, and makes notes of their visits on the notecard “postcards” we provide, as the takeaway from their adventure is a grab bag of collaborative activities to take home and share with their classes and colleagues.
Marshall is a third-year PhD student in Rhetoric and Writing focusing on Course and Curriculum design. Brian is a first-year PhD student in Rhetoric and Writing whose interests include pedagogy, Writing Program Administration, and assessment. The two have found curricular alignments in their areas of interest and collaborate in seeking innovative approaches to classroom activities.
