(Re)organize and Enrich Your Online Course

Tuesday, June 04 @ 9:00 AM - 10:30 AM

When an online course has been copied and re-taught numerous times, an unintended result can be staleness or a drift towards disorganization that may both frustrate students and increase instructor workload. In the first half of part 1, we'll look at the best ways to structure and organize course content, sharing pointers from the fields of both web and instructional design. In the second half, we'll look at the latest tools and techniques for adding richer content (beyond text) and making content that's accessible to all students.

This is part one of a three-part workshop for experienced online instructors who are interested in making improvements to their online course(s). Please register for each session you want to attend.

Using iClickers to Enhance Student Interaction

Tuesday, May 21 @ 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM

Student Response Systems (i.e., "Clickers") are hand-held devices (similar to a TV remote). Faculty can use clickers to poll students and receive instant feedback on student understanding of concepts presented during lecture, spark discussion and take attendance.

This workshop provides an overview "iClickers". The basic functions of software, base station and clicker, include:

  • ideas for integrating the use of clickers into course design
  • examples of different question types to promote desired learning outcomes (i.e., concept check, discussion, engagement)

    Using Screencasts in Your Teaching

    Tuesday, May 21 @ 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

    A "screencast" is an audio/video recording of the activity on your computer screen. Faculty can use screencasts in their teaching to demonstrate a process (math problems, diagramming, searching library databases, how-to's for software applications), provide a quick overview of a topic (narrated PowerPoint), or provide auditory feedback on student work. Students find screencasts valuable because they can review course content multiple times to enhance their understanding.

    In this introductory, hands-on workshop you will:

  • Determine what screencast features will best suit your purposes
  • Review selected screencasting applications
  • Produce a simple screencast (including outlining, scripting, and recording)
  • Publish a screencast to the web for student access

    Multilingual Writers, Multiliterate Lives

    Wednesday, April 10 @ 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

    This session brings together professors from various disciplines who work in multiple languages. Panelists will share stories of the ways they use multiple languages at home and in their professional lives, emphasizing what experiences encouraged their language development, what roadblocks they have faced in becoming multilingual, and what their multilingual abilities add to their scholarly and professional lives. The ensuing discussion will help us all understand how advanced literacy in multiple languages is achieved. Participants will develop a more rich understanding of what multiliterate and multilingual experiences mean both in and out of the classroom. By listening to panelists who have achieved high levels of success in multiple languages, we can explore what it takes to achieve academic literacy.

    This event is being offered in connection with Blackboard Jungle.

    Practices for Engaging Students: Just-in-Time Teaching and Peer Instruction

    Tuesday, April 09 @ 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

    This is part one of a three-part workshop introducing teaching strategies that may be especially helpful in large enrollment classes.

    This first workshop introduces two teaching strategies—Just-In-Time Teaching and peer instruction—in the context of large enrollment classes. It addresses the quote, “As you enter the classroom, ask yourself this question: ‘If there were no students in the classroom, could I do what I am planning to do?’ If you answer yes... don't do it.” (Gen. Ruben Cebero, US Air Force Academy)

    The facilitator is Laura Hill Bermingham who teaches large enrollment biology and botany courses and regularly uses peer instruction in her teaching.

    Spring Semester Kick Off: Faculty Writing Retreat

    Wednesday, January 09 @ 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

    Kick off your spring semester work by attending the Faculty Writing Retreat. Space is limited; please register!

    The retreat is simple: we provide a comfortable space, healthy snacks, beverages, and lunch, and no distractions so that you can spend a day working on a writing project. Participants will be able to have a consultation with a librarian or a writing specialist if desired, but mostly, participants will work in peace and quiet.

    At lunch, we will offer a very brief program on different aspects of writing productively and efficiently; there will also be time to stretch and get outdoors.

    This retreat is sponsored by the Writing in the Disciplines Program, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and Bailey/Howe Library.

    The week following this retreat, a regular faculty writing group will begin meeting weekly, offering a shorter period of quiet writing time with the support of colleagues. Participants who are interested in forming a writing group that would read each other's work can let us know and we will help you network.

    Practices for Engaging Students: Just-in-Time Teaching and Peer Instruction

    Tuesday, October 16 @ 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

    This is part one of a three-part workshop introducing teaching strategies that may be especially helpful in large enrollment classes.

    This first workshop introduces two teaching strategies—Just-In-Time Teaching and peer instruction—in the context of large enrollment classes. It addresses the quote, “As you enter the classroom, ask yourself this question: ‘If there were no students in the classroom, could I do what I am planning to do?’ If you answer yes... don't do it.” (Gen. Ruben Cebero, US Air Force Academy)

    The facilitator is Laura Hill Bermingham who teaches large enrollment biology and botany courses and regularly uses peer instruction in her teaching.

    Practices for Engaging Students: Technology that Supports the Flipped Classroom

    Tuesday, October 16 @ 4:20 PM - 5:15 PM

    This is part three of a three-part workshop introducing teaching strategies that may be especially helpful in large enrollment classes.

    Students in flipped classrooms focus on content acquisition outside scheduled classroom time, then use in-class time for the more cognitively difficult work of processing that content. Just in Time Teaching and Peer Instruction practices provide a number of strategies that fit well with this model. In this workshop we will look at technologies that can support and enhance both the in-class and out-of-class portions of the flipped classroom. These can include screencasting, Blackboard tools like Journals or Adaptive Release, collaborative writing spaces like Google Docs, or a number of online specialty tools for specific activities.

    Getting Better Writing from Our Students: Reconsidering Traditional Assignment Design with Dr. Paul Hanstedt, Roanoke College

    Thursday, September 27 @ 4:00 PM - 5:30 PM

    How can faculty teaching first-year seminars integrate substantial writing in ways that support key course goals? This workshop explores alternatives to traditional academic assignments, finding ways to construct writing projects that meet our course goals and potentially lead students to greater learning about both writing and our disciplines. Participants will have the opportunity to work on their own courses and develop and receive feedback on assignments that meet the needs of their particular student populations.

    Paul Hanstedt, Professor of English at Roanoke College, is author of General Education Essentials: A Guide for Faculty. As director of Roanoke College's General Education Program, Professor Hanstedt led a faculty initiative to overhaul the first-year curriculum to emphasize writing, quantitative reasoning, and oral communications. More recently he spent a Fulbright year in Hong Kong, working with universities developing and implementing a four-year curriculum including General Education.
