Talk about Teaching
Event Series
Starting with the academic year 2022/2023, the CTL introduces a new event series entitled "Talk about Teaching" ("Lehre im Austausch"). As part of the series, we will host an English-language format called Teaching Conversations, a regular discussion group on all things teaching at the university. Our goal is to support instructors with reflecting on their own instructional practices and to provide them a space to think about pedagogy. Additionally, Teaching Conversations gives participants the opportunity to connect with other teaching faculty and staff in an informal and relaxed setting.
Teaching Conversations
We will meet twice during the upcoming winter term. Each meeting will be from 09.00-10.30am at CTL (Universitätsstraße 5, 1010 Wien).
For the winter semester 2024/25, we will have the following topics:
Thurs., 10.10.: Creating Teaching Materials in Times of AI
Join us for the first Teaching Conversations of the new academic year, where we will explore how AI is reshaping the way we design our teaching materials. This session will provide an opportunity to collaboratively develop resources and materials that harness the potential of AI. We will also be addressing possible challenges when using AI, will discuss practical strategies and share examples of how to design effective learning materials for your class. A small breakfast will be provided. All interested in teaching are welcome!
Thurs., 21.11. (09.00-10.30 am): Teaching Conversations – Teaching in a Multilingual Classroom
Our next meeting will focus on how language(s) influence our teaching: We will discuss topics such as adapting teaching styles to support non-native speakers, using multilingualism as a strength in discussions, and how to create an inclusive learning environment. We will also talk about practical strategies for creating an engaging learning experience for all students.
A small breakfast will be provided. All instructors are welcome!
