To support active and blended learning we provide faculty with resources that define various concepts and tools to use in their classroom that promote student participation and engagement with the course content, instructor, and students.
Video Tutorials Library
Rensselaer Teaching and Learning Video Tutorials Library
Teaching and Learning Video Tutorials Library includes the workshops and colloquium presentations that have been offered through the Teaching and Learning Collaboratory.
Workshops
Workshops are defined for faculty, staff, and graduate students of Rensselaer. If the workshop date and time does not fit your schedule or you are looking for a topic that is currently not being offered this term, review the tutorials library above or email Maureen Fodera - foderm@rpi.edu to set up a one-on-one session.
Beta Classroom
The Beta Classroom is located on the First Floor of the Folsom Library. The Beta Classroom is a high technology testing space for interactive learning, which can accommodate about 20 participants. The goal of this space is for faculty to pilot new or interactive technologies and pedagogical approaches that may be appropriate for rolling out in a broad range of classrooms.
Teaching & Learning Events
Each year the Office of Undergraduate Education hosts an event focused on inspiring our faculty with ideas for innovation and interactivity in the classroom. The event is free and open to the faculty, staff, and graduate students of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.
