Each year, the Jameel World Education Lab hosts a series of interactive workshops and intensives for members on how to increase engagement and learning outcomes through quality course design. Offered online and in-person, these learning modules are ideal for discovering the latest findings in learning science and reflecting on your own teaching practices. Because of our learning opportunities, universities such as Seikei University and National Autonomous University of Mexico have changed their teaching practices and seen measurable results.
Participants have the chance to work on their course while being introduced to examples of course design and tools to help build a quality learning experience for students. Participants benefit by learning directly from MIT faculty and learning experts and interacting with an international community of educators.
