Description

What course content do you remember most clearly from your undergraduate studies? If you recall that content in detail, your professor may have used narrative techniques to capture your attention and fire your imagination. Narrative teaching tools have the potential to recreate experiences for students, generate links between course content and applied learning experiences, and guide students to reflect on situations before they encounter them. But how do you ensure that students don’t miss the point? How can you enable students to transfer their learning from the narrative to other situations? For this informal discussion, please bring your examples of teaching with narratives or case studies to share.  Lunch will be provided.
