Dear Colleagues,
Orientation Workshops for Common Core Tutors, Semester 1, 2015-16
I and all of those in the Office would like to warmly welcome both new and experienced tutors to the Common Core and hope very much that you will be able to attend one of the sessions of this semester’s workshop, Activating Learning.
We invite all of you who will be running course tutorials in the first semester to attend one of two orientation workshops to be held on September 1st or 4th, 2015 in the Common Core Lounge, Room 150, Main Building. We will work together on sharing ideas, tools, and methods to enhance active learning such as discussions, role-plays, making art, community engagement, and student projects. Several experienced tutors will also give us their input about how to keep the tutorials running most smoothly, as well as on questions of grading, enrollment, the Mysteries of Moodle, assessment, and increasing the pzazz factor.
Date: 1 September, 2015 (Tuesday)
Time: 2:30pm – 4:30pm
B. Activating Learning
Date: 4 September, 2015 (Friday)
Time: 10:00am – 12:00pm
Again, each day offers “identical” content, so although tutors are of course welcome to come on both days, given everyone’s complex schedules we wanted to be sure to provide alternative times.
Attached please find an invitation letter. For logistics purposes, we would appreciate it if you could register your attendance with Miss Emily Chan (chiting@hku.hk) by Wednesday Aug 19, 2015, along with:
- Your full-name
- HKU email address
- Departmental affiliation
- Staff number/ University number (for RPG students)
- Course code of your CC course
- Your preferred workshop: A / B
Please, throughout the year, always feel free to write me with questions and suggestions for improvement, since you are the ones that live “most closely” to the student learning.
All best,
Gray
