Teaching TipsShare your past syllabus with future students
I know you don't have your Winter 2023 syllabi ready yet (if you do, wow, you are ahead of the game!) but students are registering for W23 courses. Student Government representatives approached the Hub and said that students would appreciate seeing even a past syllabus in our course schedule system in order to make better informed choices during course registration. If you think it would help students to see a past syllabus, here are some instructions to post a past syllabus in our Course Schedule. We have drafted language for you to include that cautions students that these are not official syllabi. If you would like to see what this looks like, you can search in the Course Schedule for my (Carla Vecchiola's) W23 course.

Call for Proposals
Digital Education Days 2023
The Digital Education Days virtual conference will be held on three days in February 2023: Friday the 10th, Wednesday the 15th, and Tuesday the 21st. This year the conference is loosely organized around the theme Rising and Revising: Rethinking the Future of Digital Education; we would welcome proposals even if they don’t fit the theme firmly. The conference brings together faculty from UM-Dearborn, UM-Flint, Henry Ford College, and for the first time Mott Community College to share best practices and explore new opportunities that enhance teaching and learning in the digital realm.
If you have a great idea or strategy around digital pedagogy, we would love to have you present at the conference. Each session will be scheduled for 45 minutes, which may include direct presentation, panel discussion (where applicable), interactive workshops and time for Q&A. The call for presentation proposals is now open, and proposals are due by the end of the day on Friday, December 2, 2022.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!
The Digital Education Day 2023 Planning Team
