Shenandoah University | Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning

TTL is hosts 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 on topics such as active learning, assessment, 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

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.
