Today is the day #IBILTA23 starts! We are super excited! Checkout the program below -canva.com/design/DAFY1xf…

We have started #IBILTA23 with 2 VCs talking Block… It’s a great insight about Victoria University & Colorado College #Blockmodel #IntensiveTeaching #HigherEducation #HigherEd

Steven Hayward (Colorado College) talking all things #Block at #IBILTA23… #BlockModel #BlockPlan #IntensiveTeaching Colorado College

Here is a link to Steven's doco which celebrates the 50th anniversary of Colorado College #BlockPlan - coloradocollege.edu/basics/blockpl… #IBILTA23 #HigherEd #HigherEducation #BlockModel #IntensiveTeaching

What does #ActiveLearning mean to you when teaching in #Block or #Intensive teaching models? #IBILTA23 #HigherEd #HigherEducation

IBILTA #IBILTA23 Interesting discussion: is there an “ideal” length of a session for a block class? Many are 3 hours, but campus facilities, community interaction goals, classroom pedagogy, and student attention are all important factors.

IBILTA Loretta Konjarski addressed this during the session and suggested that we discard the semester syllabus and do a complete reboot. This fits with the concept of paradigm change. Are there any widely used anchor points in the design process for block classes? #IBILTA23

Day 2 of #IBILTA23 is about to kick off with Keynote Speaker: Ellen Buck Suffolk University. #HigherEducation #BlockModel #IntensiveTeaching #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter
