Call for Participation
Please submit a proposal to participate in the
January 14-16th 2004 workshop
At UW-Madison in the Pyle CenterThe Topic:
Incorporating Hybrid Web-Enhanced Course Development into
Women’s Studies PedagogyApproximately thirty faculty and academic staff from the fourteen UW System campus women’s studies programs will be invited to participate in a workshop designed to create a collaborative environment in which to illuminate the potential of hybrid (or distributed) learning environments in a feminist pedagogical framework. Together, participants will explore ways to merge feminist, student-centered, student-active pedagogies with computer-based learning methods in the enhancement of their current women’s studies courses or the development of new women’s studies courses.
The use of learning technologies within Women’s Studies curricula has been debated and examined from disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives. Central to the larger Women’s Studies mission is the development of pedagogical strategies that enhance the engagement of students in their own learning experience. Applied from this perspective, learning technologies using the Internet can build on this foundation to expand the opportunities of students to participate in collaborative processes and gain access to a much broader range of resources.
Participating faculty will explore feminist pedagogies along with strategies for creating or redesigning existing women’s studies courses to use, or improve the use of, web-enhanced and hybrid course development strategies. (A hybrid course is one where a portion of the course takes place in the classroom and a portion takes place on-line.)
Proposed workshop goals include:
- Increasing and enhancing active learning opportunities for students
- Finding ways to allow students to explore course concepts and topics in more depth
- Promoting student participation and engagement by connecting with knowledge gained living their lives
- Exploring additional types of individualized contact and dialogues with students and their instructors and classmates through active electronic learning communities
- Exploring the development of multiple entry points for different types of learners with diverse learning styles
- Using learning technologies in pedagogically effective and innovative ways
- Developing assessment models that will inform excellent future curricular design and development
- Introducing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
- Considering delivery methods in developing teaching materials that could become resources beyond the classroom
- Enhancing existing courses and developing new courses that will contribute to the UW System women’s studies program and department curriculums
Women’s Studies faculty and academic staff are invited to submit a brief statement of interest/proposal. Proposals will be chosen that are deemed most likely to be implemented in the following academic year. Acceptance as a participant in the workshop includes support for travel, room, board, and workshop materials. Proposals are due November 3, 2003. FORM
