Quality Enhancement Team Meeting

September 22, 2008

Met with Lynn, Gail, Jesse, and Maggie via SPOC. The Fall Critical Thinking Institute will be held at the Downtown Center on Friday, November 14.

There is interest in having three 45-minute sessions from WITS:

1) RLO’s – Hands-on. Locate an existing RLO or Web resource and give an example of how it can be used to promote critical thinking.

2) Clickers – Hands-on. Create basic and advanced slides that can be used to promote critical thinking.

3) Web 2.0 – Hands-on. Watch quick demo of 3-4 tools, and then try them out for yourself. Discuss how these can be used to promote critical thinking.

Quality Enhancement Team Meeting

September 12, 2008

Met with Lynn, Gail, Jesse, and Maggie Tymms via SPOC. A Fall Critical Thinking Institute is still being planned for November, possibly the first or second Friday, so please save those dates for WITS participation. The specific schedule and topics are yet to be determined. Also, there will be a critical thinking track at the upcoming “Narrowing the Gulf” conference in March. Call for proposals will be sent out, and presentations by WITS is encouraged.
