Education Can Be Different.

ThinqStudio is a faculty-initiated, faculty-driven community of learners exploring the possibilities of learning and teaching in Higher Education.

Centered at the University of Colorado Denver, we focus on inclusive and innovative learning—for faculty as well as their students. ThinqStudio supports a Faculty Fellows program and also facilitates a variety of workshops and activities that encourage and facilitate faculty engagement across disciplines, including librarians, to share experiences and ideas about critical, inclusive, and pioneering education. We are very excited about exploring and experimenting with digital technologies as tools to use playfully and in support of humanistic goals.

Thinq Globally and Act Locally — Xiaofei Gao

March 5, 2023

The significance and relevance of global learning are not always obvious. This is especially true at public universities, where students often have other priorities than things like “seeing the world” or “learning about a new culture” due to time constraints and limited resources. The pandemic that disrupted study abroad and...

What Is ThinqStudio? — Lisa K. Forbes

Jan. 21, 2023

So, this is awkward. In my last blog post ( ThinqStudio as Tabula Rasa) I wrote about ThinqStudio being ineffable and difficult to define. Now, here I am attempting to define what ThinqStudio is. I’ve been called foolish before; this is just another example. But I find playful joy in...

ThinqStudio as Tabula Rasa — Lisa K. Forbes

Jan. 1, 2023

Some of the greatest things in life are ineffable and impervious to formal definitions. For example, love, beauty, and play cannot be easily defined but are important and powerful forces which we seek. The harder you try to define play, for example, the more elusive it becomes. The more you...

Think. Thinq. Think. — Lisa Johansen

Oct. 21, 2022

How do we get students to think? How do we get students to Thinq? It is so hard to remember not knowing all that we know. As a course progresses and builds on previous knowledge, it is hard early in the semester to remember that most of the students have not been exposed to much of the information and concepts yet. All that information that we have swirling in our brains. We have been making connections between these topics for years. That is why we can teach because we understand what is important and what is not important. But students don’t have this knowledge or experience yet. And my struggle is with how we get them there. How do we balance the information component with the understanding and thinking component?
