Rooted in constructionism, situated cognition, peer mentoring, and self-directed learning, the Center of Teaching and eLearning, Department of Education and Innovative Technology is pleased to announce a new educator professional development opportunity - Professional Learning Studios.
Inspired by the Studio Experience at the University of Georgia, Learning, Design and Technology program (Clinton, Rieber 2010), Professional Learning Studios are a series of four-eight week cohort-based instructional design workshops designed to empower, equip, and coach BCM educators as they design and develop instructional learning objects and/or interactive lessons in a collaborative hands-on environment.
By the end of the learning studio, participants will create eLearning objects/artifacts and be able to demonstrate effective instructional design and integration of technology.
Who is eligible to apply?
- The number of cohort members for each studio is limited to 10 participants total.
- Participants can apply as a team or an individual within the BCM Community. This includes residents, post-docs, faculty, staff, researchers and clinicians.
- Teams can be comprised of members of the same department, clinical team, and/or research team. Applicants can also be individuals seeking to develop the skills needed create their own learning objects.
