CALICO offers hands-on workshops at our annual conference and also throughout the year. These are often (co-)organized by our special interest groups, but at our annual conference, any member can propose a workshop that is of interest to our community.
Current Schedule of Events and Upcoming Online Workshops
April 2025
Friday, April 4 — Online Workshop — Game-based Learning Using Group Projects
Workshop Leader: Mahmoud Amer
This workshop will demonstrate how game-based learning and students’ created projects can function as high impact learning experiences that promote deeper connections with course content. The presenter will share examples projects that promote collaboration, communication, and team building. By the end of the session, participants will be able to 1) create games they can fit within their curricula through open-access technology, including games that promote active learning, 2) think creatively to craft learning experiences that both engage and challenge students, and 3) embrace a new reality that exploits multiple technologies and repurposes existing ones.

Previously Offered Online Workshops
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we grasped the opportunity of experimenting with distance collaboration technologies to meet up as a community and offer fully online workshops. These workshops happened during specific weeks of the year and were also intended to be as ‘hands-on’ and practical as the face-to-face workshops at our conference. Participants could attend no matter where they were located, and still get to interact with workshop leaders and other attendees.
The documents below give an idea of the online workshops previously on offer. Currently, we are offering online workshops again. You can reach out to info@calico.org if you have any questions or suggestions.
