The Teaching Excellence Program at the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs cordially invites you to
Research-Based Learning Seminar
Monday, March 25, 2019
Description
Research-based learning (RBL) is an approach for exploiting a variety of learning and teaching strategies so as to connect research and instruction. RBL can broadly be encased in inquiry-based learning and the features of undergraduate research. In other words, research is regarded as a theme which underpins teaching at a range of levels or throughout the course topics. This seminar aims at introducing RBL, and interlinking research and learning.
Objectives

- Expose students to resources on/off campus that are essential for high quality research-based learning.
- Active engagement with research provides a more enjoyable and stimulating university expe- rience.
