Recording Lectures for Asynchronous or Flipped Classrooms

Professor Sam Flaxman of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology created a series of YouTube video tutorials for faculty about how to get from A to Z with regard to making and assigning "lectures" for classes taught this fall. These are aimed at instructors who teach asynchronously and/or with a flipped classroom model. Videos cover topics related to pre-recording high quality lectures and assigning them for credit.

ShortCUTS (Short CU Teaching Strategies)

ShortCUTS describe targeted interventions into CU educators' classrooms, enacted as part of participation in the Making Teaching and Learning Visible faculty community of practice. Participants were supported in developing and pursuing research questions about teaching and learning throughout the academic year, culminating in a portfolio documenting their work and the changes made to teaching practices. Faculty in the 2020-21 cohort chose their preferred medium to describe their work.
