A SEATTLE UNIVERSITY FACULTY LEARNING COMMUNITYThe Discussion Book:
|
In their recent book, Stephen Brookfield and Stephen Preskill acknowledge and unpack all the ways that discussions often fail. They then offer 50 techniques to set up successful discussions depending on the setting. For every technique the authors cover they describe how the technique works, when and where it works well, what users appreciate, and what to watch out for. This Learning Community is facilitated by the Center for Faculty Development and the Center for Digital Learning & Innovation. During each session we will try out the techniques in the book and make notes about what worked and what didn’t. Between sessions we will explore how those same techniques work when translated into online formats.
