SUMMARY:Webinar - How to Reach (Almost) All Learners with Universal Design for Learning
DESCRIPTION:As technology-mediated learning becomes part of the new normal across college and university curricula\, it’s important to interact with students in a way that supports their continued learning\, shows compassion and flexibility for varied circumstances\, and fits within existing time and prep demands. \nThis webinar shares low-effort “do-them-right-now” design techniques that reduce student anxiety and pressure\, reduce your instructor colleagues’ frustrations (and your own)\, and allow you to focus on engaging student interactions\, especially for those living in small\, rural\, remote and Indigenous communities. \nKey Takeaways \nThis interactive webinar session explores techniques and strategies backed by neuroscience research that shows how colleges and universities can lower barriers (and why they should) for students\, faculty and instructors. They include: \n• Access to materials\, interactions and people (in the course and beyond)\n• Assessment techniques: testing\, grades and feedback\n• Engagement strategies that make students more likely to stick with their studies despite the challenges \nHost: Dr. Thomas J. Tobin\, Teaching\, Learning\, & Technology Specialist II\, Center for Teaching\, Learning\, & Mentoring at The University of Wisconsin-Madison

SUMMARY:Webinar | Enhanced Learning in the New Digital Classroom  (Educause)
DESCRIPTION:In the spring of 2020\, the COVID-19 pandemic forced educational institutions at all levels to switch instruction almost overnight to virtual classrooms. With scant time to marshal their resources\, officials in K–12 schools and higher education had to figure out how to deliver curricula\, share materials\, foster collaboration\, and keep students engaged. \nGiven the number of teachers who lacked experience with distance learning and the many students who lacked access to the necessary technology\, schools faced significant challenges. Since then\, educators have learned a great deal about how to deliver instruction in a hybrid learning environment. Hear from the Center for Digital Education on recent research and receive a copy of the report. \nOutcomes\n\nReview research highlights from the report “Enhanced Learning in the New Digital Classroom”\nLearn how to help combat fatigue on your campus\nReceive access to the research report

SUMMARY:Webinar | Designing Neuroinclusive Classrooms
DESCRIPTION:Webinar Description:\nIt is estimated that approximately 30% of learners in your classroom have some form of neurodivergence such as autism\, ADHD\, or dyslexia (Conditt\, 2020). These individuals are gifted with a unique way of viewing the world and processing information. However\, they face the challenge of learning in classrooms that were not designed to accommodate their natural differences. Neurodivergent learners have unique skills and abilities that set them apart from their neurotypical counterparts. If supported effectively\, neurodivergent learners tend to excel\, especially in the STEAM fields\, and their skills can lead to significant contributions in these areas. \nProviding adequate accommodations is not straightforward because numerous individuals may not even have an official diagnosis. In fact\, there are many cases in which people haven’t recognized their neurodivergence until adulthood (Polyzoi\, Ahnemark\, Medin\, & Ginsberg\, 2018; Happe & Frith\, 2020). This makes it even more critical that\, as educators\, we take the necessary steps to ensure their time in academia truly does accommodate every learner. Join us for an engaging webinar to learn various strategies for supporting neurodivergent learners and creating neuro-inclusive classrooms. \nKey Takeaways:\n\nDiscuss how the three key areas of executive functioning (inhibitory control\, working memory\, cognitive flexibility) impact learning within the classroom\nRecognize strengths and challenges associated with neurodivergence\nExamine strategies for supporting the three areas of executive functioning in neurodivergent learners\n\nIntended Audience: \n\nJEDI advocates (Justice\, Equity\, Diversity\, Inclusion)\nAccessibility support specialists\nInstructional designers\nFaculty and instructors\nLibrarians

SUMMARY:Webinar - Don’t Ignore the D.E.A.: Design\, Equity\, and Access in Online Education | Quality Matters
DESCRIPTION:The “digital divide” was a term coined in 2012 to describe the disparity amongst those students who did have internet access and those who did not (Van Dijk\, 2012). Research indicates teacher preparation and quality of teaching is the leading factor in student success. Poor preparation and inadequate quality of design strategies can deprive students of equitable use and access to optimal digital-based learning experiences (Delgado\, 2019). In this session\, we will discuss how through the incorporation of intentional design strategies\, strategies that promote equity and access\, we can create more inclusive learning experiences for our students. \n  \nPresented by Stephanie Delgado\, Senior Instructional Designer\, Florida International University

DESCRIPTION:Teaching and learning is of critical importance to academic libraries as they seek to align themselves with the mission of their universities. To effectively support faculty in their teaching\, librarians and other instructional support staff need techniques and tools to foster collaboration. The demand for online instructional support during the pandemic affirmed the necessary role of libraries in assisting students and faculty. Join us to discuss how librarians might join forces with instructional support staff such as learning designers\, instructional technologists\, professional developers for centers of teaching and learning to enhance collaborative work with faculty and students. Questions we will explore together include: \n\nWhat are your challenges in supporting courses?\nHow can we enhance our collaboration to better support courses?\nWhat processes and relationships do we need for collaborative instructional support?\nWhat kind of professional development and/or workplace learning among staff and faculty might support these efforts?\n\nThe main audience for this QuickTalk is instructional librarians\, instructional technologists\, learning designers\, professional development staff (in centers of teaching and learning)\, and other instructional support staff who would like to collaborate to improve teaching and learning. \nFacilitated by:  John McCormick\, Associate Director of Learning Design | Brandeis University\, Waltham Massachusetts   \n                           Kathe Pelletier\, Director\, Teaching and Learning Program | Educause\, Washington\, District of Columbia \n

SUMMARY:Getting Started with Quality Matters
DESCRIPTION:Quality Matters began with a small group of Maryland colleagues who were trying to solve a common problem among institutions: how do we measure and guarantee the quality of a course? This question became important because many institutions were trying to create a system where they could share available seats in their online courses with other institutions. Because of this\, they worked to create courses of quality for their students\, regardless of where the course originated. In 2003\, the colleagues created the Quality Matters program\, which would create a scalable process for course quality assurance.  \nIn this session\, participants will be introduced to Quality Matters and how it can be helpful in effective course development. Participants will also look at some of the rubrics that are central to Quality Matters implementation.   \n  \n  \nSession Objectives:  \n\nProvide background and overview of Quality Matters  \nReview Quality Matters rubrics for higher education \nDescribe the benefits of using Quality Matters for course quality and development \n\n

SUMMARY:Connecting Educational Concepts with Mind Mapping Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Mind mapping is a technique used to visually outline information. By using words\, pictures and diagrams\, mind mapping can help professors teach connections in course material\, as well as help students study. \n  \nThe main concept\, or idea\, is at the center of the mind map. From the nucleus-center\, themes associated with the main concept branch out; and from each of these themes\, additional branches or twigs begin to grow as attributing information begins to unveil itself as a subset of the theme or idea. Mind mapping technique can help students visualize subject content and conceptually display how various ideas are interconnected. \n  \nIn this CETL Session we will: \n– explain the basic theory of mind mapping \n– identify how larger concepts can be broken down into smaller themes and ideas \n– list various educational technology tools to assist in the creation of a mind map \n– identify example mind maps used in medical education \n– apply new knowledge by creating a mind map \n
