This year in our Association of Pacific Rim Universities Teaching and Learning Webinars, our faculty experts will share perspectives and experiences with creating rich and meaningful learning opportunities for students. Faculty are encourages to share their creative solutions and teaching challenges. Across these sessions we will hear about teaching innovations from APRU teaching experts. Using the breakout rooms, participants will then have time for discussion in small groups and return to the large room for the full group discussion. Feel free to stop by for our session or join the whole series.

This webinar series is hosted by the University of Oregon Global STEM Education Program in partnership with the University of Southern California and the APRU Global Health Program.

How do we help students to build 21st Century Skills including critical thinking, communication, and group problem solving? Although it sometimes feels contradictory, we can create classroom environments where students work together to solve challenging problems and build these skills while learning the course content.  In this session our APRU teaching experts (Eleanor Vandegrift, University of Oregon and Gillian Kidman, Monash University) will share their experiences with creating experiences where students can simultaneously engage in deep learning and skills development.  Through expert presentation and breakout room conversations, participants will discuss challenges and opportunities with global faculty colleagues.
