SUMMARY:Zack and the Extraordinary Neuro Escape Room
DESCRIPTION:Gamification\, or the use of learning design coupled with game mechanics and logic\, has been shown to be an engaging and useful strategy in the classroom. An escape room is just one example of gamification\, and has been utilized across health profession students to promote collaboration and problem-solving. Through virtual experiential learning and team collaboration students are able to follow “Zack’s journey” and compete against the clock\, and each other\, in this virtual clinical application experience of didactic coursework.   \nThis session will describe the development\, implementation\, and outcomes (student satisfaction and engagement) of a virtual escape room incorporating a complex patient case for Doctor of Physical Therapy students. Participants will leave with the knowledge and resources of how to create a similar project in their own classrooms.  \nLearning Objectives:  \n\nDescribe the development\, implementation\, and outcomes of a virtual escape room \nIdentify how to create a similar project in one’s own classroom

SUMMARY:Based on Bandersnatch: Designing a “Choose Your Own Adventure” eLearning Module
DESCRIPTION:Emmy award winning Black Mirror: Bandersnatch was Netflix’s first interactive movie that allowed the viewer to choose the movie’s storyline.  Like the popular Choose Your Own Adventure books from the 1970’s\, Bandersnatch created multiple paths within the storyline based on the choices selected by the viewer. The question became\, can we create an eLearning module based on the framework of Bandersnatch? \n  \nIt was a question posed by a College of Pharmacy faculty member who wanted to reimagine their lecture on therapeutic medication for schizophrenia diagnosis. Bandersnatch’s creative layout and extensive branching scenarios provided the ideal format for a schizophrenia patient case study\, and Articulate Storyline was the only authoring tool powerful enough to make this idea come to life. \n  \nThe simulated case study follows the patient\, PJ\, through multiple medication timelines.  Similar to Bandersnatch\, the student chooses which medication to prescribe PJ\, and therefore chooses their own individual learning path.  Much of the module branching originates from the virtual pharmacy in which the student has six medications to prescribe to the patient.  Once a selection is made\, the student travels down the education path. \n  \nThroughout the education path the student learns about the prescribed medication\, answers questions\, participates in interactions\, and discovers common medication side-effects.  The side-effects ultimately overwhelm PJ\, and the learner is forced to return to the virtual pharmacy slide to choose another medication for the patient.  Intricate triggers are integrated within the module forcing the student to learn about\, and exhaust\, all medication options until the correct medication appears on the pharmacy shelf thereby proving the ending path of the case simulation. \n  \nThe complicated branching scenario in the eLearning module includes over 80 slides\, 40 layers\, 35 interactions\, 20 variables\, over 100 triggers\, and a result slide that captures the student’s choices along the way.  Additionally\, all the representative artwork integrated within the design was created by individuals living with schizophrenia. \n  \nIn this session we will review the creative and design process that begun with generic PowerPoint themed slides supplied by the SME and discuss how the content was reimagined and retooled to be an engaging eLearning module student experience.

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: Moving to Digital: the Faculty Experience in How COVID-19 Brought Us Online (OLC)
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 2020\, 83% of the faculty surveyed said that they moved a face-to-face course to emergency remote teaching. By the fall of 2020\, 68% of those were still teaching one or more courses fully online\, with 30% more employing some sort of blended methodology. 64% say their current teaching is different or very different in comparison to their teaching pre-pandemic. \nJoin us for this webinar where we’ll chat with Dr. Jeff Seaman – director of Bay View Analytics\, Dr. Nicole Johnson – author of the forthcoming Digital Faculty Report\, and Angela Gunder – OLC’s Chief Academic Officer\, as we discuss some overall data trends in faculty experiences with the shift to remote teaching as well as some of the opportunities and challenges the future offers as a result of this move.

SUMMARY:Webinar | What Is the Digital Campus? The Future of Student Engagement  (EDUCAUSE)
DESCRIPTION:The rules of higher ed are changing fast\, and the time has come for colleges and universities to radically change the ways they engage\, collaborate\, and communicate with constituents. \nFrom campus tours to advising\, libraries\, and events\, digital transformation is redefining the concept of physical presence. We are no longer offices with front desks and phones. Employees today need a front-line communications platform at the ready to communicate information to more audiences\, faster\, using multiple channels\, from the first encounter\, no matter where they are or what device they are using. But migrating from siloed and segmented systems to a single\, more powerful platform is no small task. Join our panel as we discuss this journey and share best practices to help your campus become more digital. \nOutcomes\n\nEvolve and adapt the needs of various student populations\nAdapt and prepare for the changing needs for classroom instruction\nExplore new ways to have a local and virtual campus\nEnsure safety and security\nLeverage omni-channel communications to connect to students via social media\n\nSpeakers:  Sarah Christen | Director IT Infrastructure\, Cornell University \nNaveed Husain | VP\, Vertical Programs\, Public Sector & Education\, Ring Central\, Inc. \nRebecca Joffrey | IT Innovations Office\, Cornell University \nJim Lundy | CEO & Lead Analyst\, Aragon Research
