FEBRUARY 13-FEBRUARY 24
FRIDAYS@CAFE -- FEBRUARY 17
Same goals, different format. The focus of these interactive sessions is on teaching and/or research. Our goals are simple-- to provide an opportunity for instructors to explore a variety teaching and/or research practices and to share their ideas with colleagues. We will provide snacks and drinks. From 3:30-4:15, colleagues will learn and discuss effective practices; from 4:15-5:00, participants will apply what they learned (and get feedback) during a work session. Need to leave at 4:15? That’s fine with us.
Design Thinking for Faculty and Staff
Date: February 17, 2023 from 3:30 - 5:00 PM
Location: 308 Allen Hall
Facilitator: Jacob Dolence and David Hennessey
Register: link expired
Design thinking is a method for solving complex and human-centered problems. This in-person workshop will provide participants with a creative way to solve administrative challenges, foster innovative teaching pedagogies, and provide a framework to support students in experiential learning. The facilitators will guide participants in the history and process of design thinking through hands-on experiential activities. This is not a lecture! You will be building, creating, and acting together. We will then provide participants with an opportunity to utilize the process they just learned and apply it to a challenge in their own teaching or administrative duties.
DYNAMIC LEARNING DIALOGUE (dld)

Backwards Design for Survey Design
Date: March 24, 2023 from 3:30 - 5:00 PM
Location: 308 Allen Hall
Facilitator: JoEllen Pederson, CAFE Faculty Consultant
Register: link expired
In this workshop we will discuss how to design survey questions to meet statistical objectives. Far too often, researchers design and implement surveys without considering what types of statistical analysis they want to use. Once data is collected, it is too late. The type of variables and analytical techniques often have many limitations. In this workshop, we will discuss strategies to write survey questions that create the most possibilities for analysis. Bring your research ideas! As time permits, we will work through possibilities for your research questions.
