Teaching Tips

Celebrating Our Teaching Culture at UM-D

This week the teaching tips are a roundup of your colleagues' posts on the Hub Blog. We are fortunate in the Hub to have a front seat view of the wonderful ways that UM-Dearborn faculty engage students. Included below are just a sample of faculty posts; head over to the blog to see more faculty posts or use the search function to find posts on topics of interest to you. Are you attending any of the HLC forums on Monday or Tuesday? If so, the list below, and on the blog, serve as a reminder to be proud of the teaching culture at UM-D.

  • Yes, our students need to “do the reading.” by Emily Luxon

Hub Support

Sync and Async

Besides the searchable posts on the Hub Blog, you can also find asynchronous resources on the Hub's Faculty Resources page, including workshop recordings, the online course building toolkit (with the popular Course Blueprint), and high impact teaching tips.

For synchronous support, you can meet with an Instructional Designer for a one time conversation or you can set up a reoccurring meeting for course redesign or other ongoing project support. If you aren't sure how to get started, click the image to the right to schedule an Intake Consultation.
