Abstract

Often, we reflect on our successes as educators to define our personal pedagogy and best practices. But, mistakes and weaknesses can also be valuable learning tools to help craft our teaching skills. The purpose of this session is to hear from the presenter, as well as session participants, as they share their stories about failed online/blended learning teaching experiments and experiences and provide insight for using these mistakes to improve future teaching. Bring your experience and ideas to share!

Please get in touch if you'd like more information or would like to share your thoughts about the presentation: mkn17@pitt.edu
