Olin has designed modular developmental sessions to be adopted by Teaching and Learning centers and faculty development programs. You can opt to subscribe to pre-recorded sessions for flexible asynchronous access, or create a custom faculty development program with live Olin faculty-led sessions based on some of the topics below. Join us for a peek inside the unique curriculum creation and delivery process at Olin College in this series of developmental sessions based on some of our signature courses. In this series of 90-minute sessions, educators will experience the Olin approach to creating a course that puts students at the center of their learning experience. Each session features Olin faculty who share their design process, project-based class activities, and the pedagogies used in Olin courses. Session packages can be purchased with or without live custom workshops provided by Olin faculty on the topic of your choice.
