The January 2022 Cohort of the Engaged Faculty Institute Online (EFI Online) will run from January 3 through January 14, 2022. The EFI Online is a two-week, cohort-based online course which combines asynchronous and synchronous activities to guide faculty, instructors, and staff who support community-engaged teaching and learning through the core considerations, elements, and process of designing a community-engaged course. The EFI Online features five modules with individual learning activities and course design exercises that are completed over the course of the two-week course period:
- Module 1: Foundations and Critical Commitments
- Module 2: Planning and Facilitation
- Module 3: Partnerships and Engagement
- Module 4: Learning Outcomes and Reflection
- Module 5: Assessment and Evaluation
In addition to the course modules, each week there is an opportunity for EFI Online cohort members to connect with one another during a Zoom video call to discuss and reflect upon the modules and activities, and to share insights and extend their learning through facilitated Q&A and small-group discussion.
Registration is open now, and will close on Friday, December 17, 2021 at noon. Participation in the EFI Online is open at no cost to any faculty, instructors, and staff affiliated with an Iowa & Minnesota Campus Compact member campus as a benefit of membership.
