We will do our best to accommodate everyone who wants to attend.

A few FAQs:

• You do not need to have attended in 2020 to register for this year. New people are welcome!

• Registration this year is limited to 100 participants. First come, first served - any additional rsvps will be added to a waiting list.

• This workshop is intended for practicing professional designers / teachers who are interested in making change in their teaching practice and academic identity. We welcome attendees who are not currently teaching or designing, but it isn't really suitable for graduate students who haven't started teaching yet. Please direct interested students to USITT and CSA for now.

• It will be all new material this year. We're talking about maybe recording a couple of the most popular presentations from last year and having them be available for people who didn't attend, or for those who want a refresher. If there are any topics in particular that you'd be interested in having us do this with, send us an email and let us know. (No promises, but we're open to bribes).

• Similarly, if you have new ideas or questions that you'd really like to have space to talk about with this group, email us and we'll try to incorporate the things that are on your minds.

• We will not be recording the sessions, but we will share presentation materials, and you'll use google docs for note taking in breakout rooms, so you'll have plenty of materials to refer back to. We learned how to use zoom since last year, so we'll be more organized.

• Come with conversations, questions, things you've tried, ways you've struggled, new ideas you have. The more you bring, the more we benefit. Share as much as you take.

• For those of you who are new: this is a participatory workshop. It's not a class or a lecture, and you won't walk out at the end with solutions for what to do or think or teach. We don't have the answer about how to fix your syllabus. (Sorry.) We're figuring all that out too. But maybe we've thought about it for just a bit longer, or had a couple more semesters of opportunity to practice new ideas, or read a couple more books, and we're happy to pass what we've learned on to the group. Come join our revolution!
