In early January, Katie participated in a Faculty Development in International Business trip to Santiago, Chile. Titled “Understanding the International Business Environment through Innovation and Sustainability in Chile,” the trip was hosted by Temple University’s Center for International Business Education and Research (“CIBER”), and Katie was able to attend the trip thanks to IU’s own CIBER program. In this episode of HTTC, Katie recaps her trip and discusses lessons she learned from an immersive experience in a developing economy.

During the trip, Katie and her group visited a diverse array of businesses including:

· Atlas Fresh, a fresh fruit exporter

· De Martino Winery in Isla de Maipo

· Sodimac, a home improvement retailer

· Antofagasta, a mining company

· WOM, a rising start telecommunications company (featuring IU alum Kris Brigham)

· CORFO, the Chilean economic development agency in Santiago

· Jet Smart, an ultra-low-cost airliner in South America​

We walk through three specific examples of how we’ve had to adapt on the fly while staying true to our “game plan.” We also chat about resources for taking your class offline unexpectedly, and we circle back to our attendance policy conversation.

Episode 18: Drawing for Enhanced Learning

After a long winter’s rest, Katie and Dawn are back on HTTC! This time, they bring you a quick hit about some new research which shows that drawing a picture helps enhance subject recall and ultimately, help students learn faster and retain information longer. Katie and Dawn also dive into how they’ve used drawing in their own teaching development and how it has translated to better outcomes for students.
