Shenandoah University | Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning

This semester, TTL is hosting Friday roundtables to discuss videos in the "20-Minute Mentors" series by Magna Publications. Watch the video on your own, then join your colleagues for a lively discussion!

Each video features a brief presentation by a faculty expert, covering diverse topics such as teaching with AI, assessment strategies, and evidence-based equity practices. The videos offer practical and actionable insights you can apply to your courses. We invite you to bring your experiences, questions, and suggestions to contribute to the discussion.

If you didn't have time to watch the video before the roundtable, don't fret! The roundtables are open to all and intended to foster conversation and collaboration among faculty from any discipline.

How to Access the Videos

TTL is providing access to the 20-Minute Mentor series in Canvas. After you sign up for a roundtable, we'll enroll you in the Canvas course, where you'll be able to watch all of the videos, participate in our asynchronous discussions, and download certificates of completion for your portfolio. If you only need access to the videos, you can request Canvas enrollment through this link https://forms.gle/izZcsMTYQzTpJh1c8
