Summer Seminar on
Creative Use of Resources in Course Design

 AUB, June 19-July 27, 2006 

The Summer Seminar on Creative Use of Resources in Course Design is a six-week program funded by the Mellon Foundation.   It is intended to assist faculty in making further use of various academic resources now available at AUB and to integrate them in the development of specific courses. 

The three components of the seminar are:

  • Syllabus Design
  • Instructional Technologies
  • Information Literacy

Comments of the Participants

 About the Seminar

 
“It was a great well-organized workshop, informative, new in certain perspectives as using Moodle and updating in other perspectives as writing a detailed course syllabus and be familiar with more channels in library resources.
The timing of 6 weeks is good for this workshop. Individual appointments were very helpful as each was able to ask about his/her specialty related needs through development of the course on Moodle.”   - Efat Abou Fakhr

 About the Instructional Technologies component


“My aim is to make the students like the material we are teaching and to improve substantially their knowledge and desire to learn more.  Moodle has several tools that help me in delivering the materials and discussions to students some of which may attract one student interest better than another tool and vice-versa.”   - Anonymous

 About the Information Literacy component


“The presence of different library resources at AUB libraries has facilitated adding different types of exercises for the students of my course.”   - Anonymous

 About the Syllabus Design component


“I learned to articulate course goals much more explicitly (difficult task but essential) to make assessment much more tied to course goals and learning outcomes from the very beginning.  This makes assessment much easier and useful in a way.  To think through the purpose of the syllabus and the presentation of it as a document to question assumptions about the "old" course to be more conscious of the students' experience of the course (apart from my own aspirations for it).”   - Anonymous

 About Moodle


“Moodle is a user-friendly tool and I hope that our students would like it also. Maybe a survey should be addressed to students at AUB who have taken their courses through Moodle.  Another issue that I would like to point at is the cooperative quick help from Moodle Team whenever I asked a question on the phone and got the problem solved.”   - Efat Abou Fakhr
