Description

Two Computer Technologies faculty took the plunge into Scenario Based Learning (SBL) in a big way. They both transitioned traditional lecture/lab classes into full-blown, semester long SBL classes. They will share their experiences and engage you in the SBL conversation.

Scenario Based Learning integrates work like scenarios into the classroom to help teach critical employability skills. Two faculty members took the SBL plunge two years ago. They both transitioned traditional lecture/lab classes (Linux System Administration and Computer Science I - C++) into full-blown, semester long SBL classes. They'll share their experiences and engage you in a conversation on SBL and encourage and support you to take the plunge. There is training scheduled for the spring and summer of 2011. Jump on in.

Participants will explore how SBL can fit into one of their own classes. Come with one of your indivual courses in mind and we'll get you thinking about SBL integration.
