Looking for a fun and educational distraction over the break? Join colleagues from Furman University and Denison for a six-week Rubik’s Cube Challenge: An Expert Blindspot Adventure. Our recent experience with pandemic teaching has thrust us into novel learning environments and forced us to consider how best to learn under such conditions. One common challenge of expert instructors is understanding the learning needs of novice students, known as an expert blind spot. In this challenge, participants will learn how to solve the Rubik’s Cube with a group of colleagues and gain insight about the learning (and teaching) process. The CfLT will provide the cube, as well as weekly tips, strategies, and reflection and discussion prompts shared via an online discussion platform. Already know how to solve the cube? You can still participate by selecting a new skill/concept challenge and sharing your adventure with the group! For more detail about the challenge and to sign up, watch this video and register here. Denison faculty who learn how to solve the cube in five minutes or less will earn a $25 Amazon gift card.
