Research-Informed Reading Group Winter 2021

TEP invites you to join your colleagues in this new group to read and discuss the book Small teaching online: Applying learning science in online classes, by Flower Darby and James Lang. “Small teaching” is the idea that it is possible to improve teaching effectiveness by implementing small changes rather than having to make major course revisions. This engaging and accessible book surveys research related to online teaching, describes examples from real classrooms, and provides “Quick Tip” suggestions for making those small improvements.

We welcome members from all ranks and disciplines to join us weekly for structured, collegial conversations with the goal of reflecting on our own teaching and thinking about how to improve it with what we learn from the book.  Feel free to join us each week or just stop by for a specific conversation.

Darby, F., & Lang, J. M. (2019). Small teaching online: Applying learning science in online classes. John Wiley & Sons. Hard copies of the book are available through online booksellers, and the UO Library has it in ebook form.
