2014 Online Workshop for Theological Faculty Teaching Online 
Dates June 3-5, 2014 - First Session at Wabash College Online course: June - July 2014 July 30 - August 1, 2014 -Final Session at Wabash College 
Leadership Team Richard Nysse, Luther Seminary Steve Delamarter, George Fox Evangelical Seminary Bridget Powell, University of Wisconsin-Madison Thomas Pearson, Wabash Center 
 Description This workshop is designed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin-Madison for theological faculty to gain online teaching experience. It will be conducted in a “hybrid” design, with two face-to-face sessions bookending a nine-week online component. The workshop will expose participants to technologies that may be used in online or blended learning, and attend to questions relevant for the design and implementation of curricular programs with significant distance elements. This workshop will present major elements involved in using the Internet for instruction. The online component provides hands-on experience and will use a “principles-to-practice” approach that presents guidelines and strategies for applying principles of online learning to the participant’s courses. It attends to the issue of how teaching and learning changes when the class format includes geographic separation between and among learners and instructors, mediated by technologies and pedagogical theory. The primary focus is on developing and implementing a successful, free-standing fully online or hybrid course. The primary focus is on the pedagogical and sociological dynamics that make for a successful, free-standing fully online or hybrid course, as opposed to issues of web design where participants would create videos, websites, wikis, etc. No prior experience is necessary, yet course material will be valuable to those at advanced levels as well. It is a concentrated, resource-rich learning experience where participants will have the chance to review additional resources related to the topics, and address issues relevant to their teaching context. Goals To experience a hybrid course under the guidance of three experienced teachers To learn online teaching strategies that promote interaction and engagement To learn how community building, ministry, and spiritual formation take place within this format To come to an understanding of the major differences and similarities between online and face-to-face teaching and appreciate the unique opportunities and challenges of the online environment To apply what is learned about online pedagogy to individual online courses Stipend The Wabash Center will cover all local expenses and travel to Crawfordsville for the two face-to-face sessions. Participants will receive a stipend of $1,500 upon completion of the online and face-to-face sessions. We are prevented from paying stipends to participants who are teaching in the U.S. under an H-1B visa.

2014-15Teaching and Learning Colloquy for Mid-Career Theological School Faculty 
Dates July 7-12, 2014 - First Summer Session at Wabash College January 8-11, 2015 - Winter Session at Mustang Island June 15-20, 2015 - Second Summer Session at Wabash College 
Leadership Team Willie James Jennings, Duke Divinity School, Director Teresa Fry Brown, Candler School of Theology Diane Grace Chen, Palmer Theological Seminary Lisa Hess, United Theological Seminary, Dayton Paul Myhre,Wabash Center 
 Description This colloquy will gather 14 faculty in the middle of their teaching careers to consider “The Art of the Teaching Life.” The purpose of the colloquy is to create a community of committed and skilled teachers to explore how their understanding of the teaching life might be deepened by imagining its form through the identities and realities of artists. This colloquy is not designed necessarily for those in the arts, rather for teachers who want to creatively consider their work in light of the artistic imagination and are at the point of asking: What are the projects that I am prepared to imagine that will demand all my wisdom, experience, and skill? Where do I want to take my students? Are there new places I want them to go within the art of teaching? What is my unique contribution to the classroom, my discipline, and my institution? How can I chart my own vision of the teaching life in terms of pedagogy, scholarship, and institutional involvement? Do I have interest in a greater leadership role? The colloquy balances plenary sessions with small group discussions and workshop sessions, structured and unstructured social time, and time for relaxation, exercise, meditation, restoration, and lots of good food and drink. Colloquy Goals The overarching goal of the colloquy will be to engage in sustained reflection on the teaching life in terms of our work in the classroom, our scholarship, and citizenship in our theological institution. We will do this through: Reflecting carefully on the teacher as artist by considering the formation of artists, noting the parallels, differences, and points of convergence Comparing pedagogical form to artistic form by considering the best practices available in teaching and learning in relation to various artistic media (e.g. acting, dancing, oratory, singing, playing an instrument, painting, sculpting, and other forms of crafting) Exploring the mentoring, nurturing, facilitating, and directing characteristics of a "life that teaches" by comparing the embodied wisdom of a teacher with the intimate relation of the artist and her art Exploring the significance of a "life with students," and the necessary relationships for sustaining such an "exposed" life in an institutional setting Front Row (left to right): Nancy Lynne Westfield (Drew Theological School), Paul Galbreath (Union Presbyterian Seminary), Chris Kiesling (Asbury Theological Seminary), *Lisa Hess (United Theological Seminary, Dayton), Miguel De La Torre (Iliff School of Theology).
