>> 2015 Online Scientific Teaching Institute for LA-SiGMA
>>  
>> The 2015 LA-SiGMA Summer Teaching Institute is an introduction to research-based best practices in teaching and learning. 
>>  
>> This workshop is designed for anyone who may eventually be teaching a course in science / technology / engineering / mathematics (“STEM”) at the university level.  You will start with an exploration of the science education research literature, then move on to examine research-based methods for engaging students in large and small classes.  Along the way you will explore useful technology to enhance student learning and be introduced to free resources that can support your teaching. 
>>  
>> As a successful participant in this course, you will earn a certificate of completion at the end of the workshop.  More importantly, you will also leave this workshop with a well-developed statement of teaching philosophy and a short online teaching demo – both useful in job applications as you take the next step beyond graduate school and  postdoctoral positions.  And most importantly of all, you will have knowledge and skills to support your teaching, whenever and wherever that might be. 
>>  
>> Mechanics of the course:  This course will be taught 100% online using Moodle on the LSU Shreveport server.  You will be responsible for contributing to discussions and wikis, analyzing research papers and videos, and creating teaching statements and planning modules for future courses.
>>  
>> We’re looking forward to this workshop and hope you are too!
