RSVP Now for Spring Reading Groups
Teaching Online
All instructors at BC are invited to join our discussion of Teaching Online: A Guide to Theory, Research, and Practice by Claire Howell Major, our Excellence in Teaching Day keynote speaker. Meetings will be on March 13, March 27, April 10, and April 24 from 2:00 - 3:00 with a period of online discussion between the second and third meetings. The group is open to new and experienced online instructors as well as anyone curious about teaching online. Participants who can commit to attending all four meetings will receive a copy of the book. Space is limited, so please indicate your interest by Friday, March 1.
Real News
The Real News reading group will focus on understanding how students engage with news, how an information environment structured by proprietary algorithms affects that engagement, and how to promote news literacy skills in the classroom. The group will read the Project Information Literacy News Study to get started, followed by book chapters and articles including a section of Algorithms of Oppression by Safiya Noble. We will meet three times between February and April. Participants can sign up by emailing Julia Hughes by February 11 and then the group will determine meeting times together.
