Dear ARLIS-L, I've been asked to present at our Teaching & Learning Center's day of workshops. The day-long session of workshops has been described to me thusly: *BEYOND THE ONCE and DONE: USING 'IMAGINATIVE PATHWAYS' TO IGNITE ARTISTIC AND INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY* *This session will focus on exploring how teachers move students' work beyond the once and done by designing "imaginative pathways" to push students concepts. ideas and techniques further.* *Diving into this topic with Neil Gaiman, "The imagination is a muscle. If it is not exercised, it atrophies," These sessions will dig into the ways in which we move students projects and artisitic ways of being in the world into greater and more complex imaginative states.* *The session will begin with a brief overview and introductions and then divide into break-out sessions with each person presenting to smaller groups. We were hoping that you could help faculty to think of exciting ways to include research in their projects/assignments that motivate students to want to research on their own (that's the "intellectual curiosity" bit).* I'll probably have just about one hour for my bit. If you've done anything similar to this, I'd love to hear about it! Thanks, everybody! Sara ------------------- Sara J.
