The CEIR TEACHING CoLab Goals include:

• Community Building: Foster  a sense of community and collegiality, and facilitate collaboration among faculty

• Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL): Enhance faculty's application of high impact teaching practices in CCI courses and connect to CS education research 

• Collaborative Leadership Development: Facilitate opportunities for faculty members to enhance their collaborative leadership skills

• Assessment and Dissemination: Shared outcomes through reports, presentations, and publications, and other options (e.g. ACE-IT! Modules)

CoLab cohorts are recruited and identified based on topical interests. Cohorts work in a group with multiple individuals who can provide support and expertise across the topical focus. For example, a topical area can be a specific high impact teaching strategy, such as equitable grading or active learning techniques for online classes, or universal design in hybrid classes, or a student challenge strategy, such as learning coding with or without AI. Ideal group size would be 3-6 faculty members. Form your own cohort or request a cohort for CEIR to form.

What CoLabs Do:

• Spring: CoLab groups meet bi-monthly Jan-May, facilitated by the Fellow

  • investigate/explore their topic,this may include getting external expertise 

  • Establish deliverable(s) for the CCI [e.g. an ACE-IT! module update, a workshop, poster at CCI's Summer Education Showcase, etc.)

• Summer: finalize the products to be showcased for CCI and elsewhere

• Fall - CEIR showcases the deliverables as workshops and seminars, CCI certificate

Fellows facilitate the cohort, and receive summer stipend support.
