Drs. Felder and Brent regularly present 60-90 minute online webinars on effective teaching, mentoring and supporting new faculty members, and faculty development, for campuses and at conferences around the country and abroad. The webinars are intended primarily for faculty members in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, but most of them can be modified for campus-wide audiences. Some are also suitable for administrators (deans, associate and assistant deans, and department heads) and future faculty members (graduate students and postdoctoral fellows contemplating academic careers).
Topics include:
Effective teaching and learning
- Learner-centered teaching
- Meet your brain (What brain research shows us about effective teaching and learning)
- Learning objectives
- Course planning and design
- Active learning
- Teaching online
- Formative assessment of teaching and learning
- Testing and grading in the STEM classroom
- Developing problem-solving expertise
- Professional skills
- Teamwork skills
Career development and support
- Getting your academic career off to a good start (for new and future faculty members)
- Mentoring and supporting new faculty (for department heads and other administrators)
- Mentoring new faculty (for faculty serving as mentors)

Fees are $1500 for a 60-minute webinar and $2000 for a 90-minute webinar. In addition, we will provide written material in a handout to be duplicated and distributed to workshop participants for use during the webinar.
