In this webinar, we will engage participants in a discussion about the University of Minnesota's forest landowner transfer curriculum and teaching process. This curriculum provides an example of how the collaborative learning framework can aid in curriculum design. We will explore how the curriculum might be modified, improved and used in your educational programs.
This is not your typical webinar! Rather than attendees passively watching presenters, this will be a fully interactive learning event where attendees will engage with presenters as well as other attendees with live audio and video. Use this test link from Zoom to test your systems ability to connect to the meeting interactively. In addition to polls, come prepared to share your thoughts about your curriculum with your colleagues via Zoom Breakrooms. Review the collaborative curriculum framework prior to the webinar and be prepared to discuss how your curriculum fits or does not fit the collaborative curriculum framework.
