I facilitate learning experiences with easy starting points grounded in deep thinking, engagement, and curiosity. In the spirit of Universal Design for Learning, I can customize a learning experience across formats, locations, and contexts. Beyond a single event experience, I accompany workshops with extended learning opportunities. See my CV for an extensive list of workshops. Reach out to explore options: christinamoorephd@gmail.com.

Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning
To amplify mobile devices’ virtues for learning and reducing its vices, a “mobile-mindful” approach invites us to consider not only how students can learn more often with phones as one potential option, but can sometimes learn better. Let’s learn to start with ourselves as mobile learners and identify simple ways to begin adding mobile-mindful options. Based on my book Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning.
Flexible, Adaptable, Inclusive: Universal Design for Learning
From an introduction to UDL principles to specific ways to apply UDL to courses or other learning contexts, I emphasize practical, “sticky,” resilient, exciting ways to engage students, faculty, facilitators, and anyone involved in learning. I have led sessions with higher ed institutions and a museum in Moscow. See my popular UDL YouTube playlist (average 38,000 views) for a list of potential topics.
Resilient, Flexible, Sustainable Pedagogy
Pandemic teaching required unprecedented flexibility. Amid all the buzz words for teaching practices that promise perfect adaptability, let’s consider what practices we’ll keep, what we’ll change, and what informs these choices on a sliding scale of flexibility, high expectations, support, and responsiveness. See my Resilient and Flexible Pedagogy workshop handout, and a related workshop handout on Sustainable Pedagogy.
Introduction to Digital Accessibility
Let’s simplify ways to ensure documents, slides, videos, and other instructional materials are accessible to everyone. We will focus on habits that not only make accessibility doable, but improves your workflow and makes your content clearer. With lots of examples, templates, and resources, we can make a sustainable plan toward accessible, responsive learning environments. See my digital accessibility resources.
“Big Picture” Productivity
While we can focus on time management strategies, habits, routines, and distractions, let’s ground in this in the bigger picture of why we want to be productive, and what (and whom) our productivity services. Let’s identify attention management strategies that both meet work needs and also align with our personal values and priorities. I have facilitated this session for university faculty, staff, and graduate students. See my “Big Picture” Productivity handout from one of these sessions.
Taking the Temperature with Cognitive and Affective Feedback
This workshop focused on many ways to gather both cognitive and affective feedback to gauge student progress and experience. The workshop emphasized how to do this in online environments as well as face-to-face classrooms. Read my short piece on Taking the Class Temperature: Cognitive and Affective Feedback.
