Our Western Civilization II Chapter Blogs

Written on May 7, 2010 by Reverend | Posted in Program Item

In Fall 2009, following the suggestion of Jim Groom and inspiration from the 2009 Faculty Academy, I instituted a course website and a series of chapter blogs as a group assignment for my Western Civilization II course. Together with Jim, I plan to explain how he launched this site, who did what, how I graded the assignments, how the students reacted to the assignment, and the overall results of the initiative. Once we have presented the site, I hope to hear ideas from the audience as to how to improve the assignment for future courses.

About Faculty Academy

The University of Mary Washington's Faculty Academy on Teaching and Learning Technologies will be held this year on May 12 & 13 on the Stafford campus.

For the past 15 years, Faculty Academy has brought together faculty and staff from both campuses at UMW to share and celebrate the year’s efforts and accomplishments in the classroom, with teaching and learning technologies as the specific focus (or, one might say, catalyst) of the event.

The event is free and open to all UMW community members as well as to participants from other schools and institutions.
