The Graphic Syllabus Workshop
The Instructional Development Unit at UWI, Mona invites all members of the academic staff to a new and innovative workshop on Course Design - The Graphic Syllabus. The workshop will be held on Thursday, September 22, 2011 with a repeat on Friday, September 23, 2011 in the Training Room of the IDU (upstairs the Inter-Faculty Lecture Theatre).
The Workshop is designed to share how Graphic Syllabi can be used and the potential impact. Text syllabi sometimes fail to get students' attention because they are predominantly 'word'-oriented. What if course outlines were presented in a graphic manner - use of flow charts, diagrams or pictures? Does the packaging of the course structure and the body of knowledge influence students' learning?
Staff members are asked to register by telephoning 970-0376 or e-mailing idu@uwimona.edu.jm.
