Putting NYC to Work: Using Place-Based Assignments in Your Courses
March 1, 2017, 6:30-8:30, Room 9207
In the second installment of the TLCβs two-part workshop series on place-based learning, weβll explore strategies for creating and integrating creative assignments that take advantage of New Yorkβs cultural resources, including its many archives, museums, libraries, performing arts institutions, green spaces, etc. Weβll start by considering the history and theory behind experiential learning, and discuss its particular affordances within the CUNY context. Weβll then look at examples of place-based assignments drawn from CUNY campuses, with an eye toward identifying the pedagogical and practical factors to consider when structuring experiential learning opportunities: from logistical challenges, to options for assessing creative assignments, to designing site-based activities that streamline rather than add to instructor workload. Weβll then work together to devise place-based activities that we can include in our courses and transport across disciplines.
