The is pleased to announce the publication of Making Teaching and Learning Visible (MTLV) course portfolios, which aimÌýto exhibit Â鶹Ãâ·Ñ°æÏÂÔØBoulder faculty’s intellectual inquiry in designing course curricula, assessing results, critically evaluating student learningÌýand developing models of inclusive pedagogy.
Peter Newton, assistant professor in environmental studies and MTLV faculty member, describes what makes MTLV of value in teaching:
"In my mind, the innovation of the MTLV is not the content of the courses that we are teachingÌýbut rather the fact that we are making our pedagogy, course development processÌýand our challenges and insights more visible and accessible than they have historically been. The content could be anything . . . The fact that those things are visible to others (for them to judge, learn from, adapt, relate to, etc.) as they wish is what defines MTLV."
During academic year 2017–18, FTEP will work with its second group of professors, meeting once a month for guided portfolio design, assistance though peer discussion and problem solving, and the opportunity to exchange helpful hints from everyone’s experiences.
FTEP invites you to to see the six publishedÌýMTLV course portfolios. Questions, comments? Email FTEP director Mary Ann Shea at maryann.shea@colorado.edu.
