IU School of Public Health-Bloomington publishes strategic planFeb. 13, 2017At Indiana University, the Mosaic Active Learning Initiative is leading the charge to help faculty explore classroom design and maximize its potential for enhancing student learning.The Mosaic Faculty Fellows program is a key part of the Mosaic Initiative. It brings together faculty who, over the course of an academic year, teach in Mosaic classrooms, share approaches to active and collaborative learning, engage in research related to active learning classrooms, and contribute to the development of learning spaces across IU.
On January 27, 2017, the Mosaic Initiative welcomed its second group of Bloomington Mosaic Fellows, including five IU School of Public Health-Bloomington faculty members, with the Mosaic Institute, a one-day meeting and luncheon.
"Like the many unique tiles that comprise a mosaic, the initiative supports innovative teaching and learning in active learning spaces designed to meet the needs of a wide range of disciplines," said Stacy Morrone, IU associate vice president for learning technologies. "With the new IU Bloomington Mosaic Fellows, we now have more than 40 fellows across IU who are part of a vibrant community of faculty who collaborate to advance their own teaching and to mentor other colleagues exploring new pedagogies."
During the Mosaic Institute, new Mosaic Fellows learned about the emergence and development of active learning spaces at IU, explored active learning in an active learning classroom, and discussed current trends in learning spaces research.
"During the IU Bloomington strategic planning process, our faculty identified both a need and an interest in expanding and enhancing our learning spaces," said Dennis Groth, IU vice provost for undergraduate education. "Along with our first group of fellows, IU Bloomington is well on its way in developing a rich community of faculty scholars, advancing student learning and student success. I am delighted to have the engagement of our new fellows."
