Experiential Learning & Teaching in Higher Education
Excerpt
This essay describes a collaborative service-learning project in which psychology and speech-language pathology undergraduate students, along with special education graduate students, completed developmental screenings as part of their training in providing effective services to children. Universal developmental screening is an important tool in the early identification of developmental delays in young children and is increasingly incorporated into early childhood education. However, limited resources make it difficult for educators to routinely screen all young children in their care. Our students were able to meet this need for two local childcare centers by conducting developmental screenings in transdisciplinary groups.

Course specific learning outcomes are an important tool to define the scope of a course and can be very helpful when designing experiments and assessments. With slight modification, these learning outcomes can serve as a guide when transitioning to the distance learning format especially in courses with a traditional lab. Here we present such an example for the biophysical chemistry course.

During the months of May and June 2020, the Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography in collaboration with the Learning and Educational Center (LEC) hosted a series of Faculty and Staff Professional Development workshops.
The “Best Practices in Online Teaching and Learning, Level 1” was designed, created, and facilitated by Dr. Judith Slapak-Barski, Instructional Technology and Design Specialist at the Halmos College of Natural Sciences and Oceanography. This workshop was designed to bridge the gap between the immediate need to move all courses to the online environment as a response to the COVID-19 Pandemic and faculty and staff’s readiness …
