Center for Teaching, Learning and Research
A faculty off-campus retreat on Contemplative Pedagogy will begin on Wednesday afternoon, May 31, and will run through Thursday afternoon, June 1. It will be held at the Sleepy Hollow Inn in Huntington, Vermont. While this retreat will provide opportunities for faculty with experience in contemplative pedagogy to continue to learn from one another, its primary goal is to welcome faculty who are curious about contemplative pedagogy, have little or no experience with it and want to learn a little more about it.

Collaboration in the Classroom: Improving the "Group Project" Experience

Sponsored by:
Center for Teaching, Learning and Research
Facilitators: Jessica Holmes and Mary Hurlie Group projects, when designed well, can build problem-solving, teamwork and communication skills, yet many students (and some faculty) groan at their mere mention. During this workshop, we will explore strategies to maximize the benefits of collaborative learning activities. Lunch will be served. Please RSVP at ctlr@middlebury.edu by Monday, April 18.

CANCELLED: Free Speech & the role of a Professor at Middlebury

Sponsored by:
Center for Teaching, Learning and Research
The goal for this workshop is to begin with a famous text from an ‘Eastern’ tradition that journeys into the complex and often conflicting dharmas that exist in a human life. Then, from this foundation, we move to a discussion of a topic that seems to have embroiled our community. On what source does one rely to determine the role that one should play as a professor when it comes to ‘free speech’? What are we to make of the Gita’s call to let go of the fruits of our actions when it comes to advocating for, protecting or expanding ‘free speech’?

Bronze Swords, 3D scanning, and Networks of Knowledge

Sponsored by:
Center for Teaching, Learning and Research
The Digital Liberal Art’s first Behind the Scenes Lunch will feature our new Postdoc, Kristy Golubiewski-Davis, as she demonstrates the 3D scanning tools and techniques she used in her doctoral research. This project is a case study using 3D scans of Late Bronze Age swords (~1200-800BC) to recreate community networks of knowledge. The aim of the work is to link the decisions of specialized craft workers to morphological data. Those data were in turn used to represent links in a social network. Come learn about 3D scanning, statistics, and network analysis.
