Science Teaching Journal Club: Mitigating Digital Distractions in Class

  • 9 October 2025 9:00am – 10:00am
  • LISB 217 or by zoom
  • Event Host: TEP, Campus partners
  • Event Type: Reading and discussion group
  • Teaching Pillar: Professional, Inclusive, Engaged, Research-Informed

Join the journal club to read and discuss articles from the research literature relevant to teaching and learning, especially (but not exclusively) in STEM fields. We’ll initiate a new recurring feature: Are You Sure? in which we look at new evidence relating to some long-accepted ideas about teaching and learning. Later, we’ll have a mini-concentration on an increasingly urgent problem for instructors: digital distractions in class and possible strategies for mitigating them. As always, we welcome participants from all ranks and disciplines to join us each week or to drop in for selected conversations. 

Journal club takes place Thursdays, 9:00-10:00, Weeks 1-10. Join us in person in LISB 217 or virtually via Zoom.
