Teaching Innovation

Mark Bauer, Created an almost entirely new Financial Advocacy course in June 2020. Previously course was held in-person over one weekend two or three times each year. I created and recorded approximately 20 hours of asynchronous content and redesigned the course to be taught over three weeks. Other changes included new homework assignments (which I evaluated) and discussion boards. Each time the class is taught it is divided into groups of 15-20 students, with each student required to create one post and respond to two other posts each week. I participate and moderate all conversations on the discussion boards. After offering the course in Summer 2020, I rerecorded some content and added additional content before the course was offered again in Fall 2020, Financial Advocacy, June 2020
