Fall Teaching Forum: Leaning into Remote Teaching

September 14, 2020 @ 10:00 am - October 2, 2020 @ 4:30 pm


UCLA acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). As a land grant institution, we pay our respects to Honuukvetam (ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom, (elders) and ‘eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.


Please join the Center for the Advancement of Teaching (CAT), the Center for Education Innovation & Learning in the Sciences (CEILS), and Excellence in Pedagogy and Innovative Classrooms (EPIC) for the 2020 Fall Teaching Forum: Leaning Into Remote Teaching.

This event reimagines several events held annually each fall – including CAT’s New Faculty Teaching Engagement event, CEILS’s Annual Faculty Workshops, and EPIC’s Ready, Set, Teach event. Our new joint effort aims to showcase lessons learned from spring quarter and provide an opportunity for instructors to collaborate within and across disciplines as we all prepare for the fall term.

The forum will launch with a session titled “Setting the Stage for Remote Learning” featuring live remarks from Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Emily Carter and messages from campus leadership. Attendees can then choose from a variety of workshops over the three weeks on topics such as being an anti-racist educator, fostering student engagement remotely, creative approaches to remote assessment, and more.

CAT, CEILS, and EPIC would like to thank the following campus partners who are helping to facilitate sessions:

Please Note: This website focuses on Fall Teaching Forum events geared toward instructors, lecturers, and faculty of all ranks. Graduate student instructors are invited to participate in CAT’s 47th Annual TA Conference, to be held September 21-October 2. Some workshops held during this period will be open to both faculty and TA audiences, but we ask that each group RSVP through their respective websites.

We have the schedule at a glance below, but if you would like to see detailed descriptions of each workshop and Zoom links please visit our Fall 2020 Teaching Forum Details Page.
