Modules are asynchronous, self-paced learning experiences typically built in CourseWorks (Canvas) (e.g., Time Management Module). They tend to provide more contextual or didactic information than an in-person offering, and are sometimes used to supplement workshops (e.g., as one would pair an asynchronous lecture or reading with a more active class period).

Public Lectures are one-off, largely didactic events, which spotlight the practices and/or research of experts in one or more pedagogical areas. These lectures may be given by Barnard affiliates or instructors/practitioners from another institution or organization.

Brown Bag Lunches are one-off discussion-based offerings held around lunchtime, and organized around a theme (e.g., community guidelines, trauma-informed pedagogy). They are intended to have a low-barrier to entry (e.g., show up having done some reading).

Workshops are one-off, interactive offerings focused on one topic or one set of skills. They are sometimes supplemented with asynchronous work on a module or CEP resource.

Reading Groups are recurring, discussion-based offerings organized around a book or set of readings on a particular theme. Though participants are encouraged to attend all sessions, they are also welcome to join on a one-off basis. In some cases, they may conclude with a guest speaker (e.g., the author of the chosen text).

Institutes are intensive, application-based offerings, where instructors learn and reflect together and work on their courses and/or projects in a short but dense period of time (~1 week) and with a relatively small community of participants (~5-15 participants). Institute participants must commit to the entire institute to be eligible.

Communities of Practice are sustained, sometimes application-based offerings designed to dig deeply into a particular topic or set of skills. The content and activities build on previous sessions, and participants are expected to prepare materials, reflect in community, and, in most cases, produce a final product or execute a task of some kind by the end of the experience. One of the goals of these offerings is to build community among participants, and draw on collective experience and wisdom to aid discussion, decision-making, and practice.
