SUMMARY:Webinar | Our Journey To Exemplary: Using the OLC Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Programs
DESCRIPTION:Proving that quality exists within online education programs can be a daunting and complex task. Typically\, metrics such as course completion\, student logins\, survey responses\, and internal reviews are used to demonstrate engagement and quality outcomes. However\, these instruments lack the authority of a rigorous program review by an outside body of experts. \n\nIn this webinar\, we will introduce you to our experience with the Online Learning Consortium’s Quality Scorecard for the Administration of Online Programs (OLC QSAOP) and tell the story of our journey and experience of the quality program review process. We will share how we planned\, implemented\, executed\, engaged stakeholders\, and collaborated across our institution to complete our internal review\, and how we are leveraging the OLC external review findings report to continuously improve our online program. \nFurthermore\, you will be able to discuss which resources and approaches we have used to apply to your own online program internal review using the OLC QSAOP. You will be able to identify several strategies that will be effective\, efficient and practical to your institution. \nSpeakers: Rica Young\, Learning Experience Designer\, UCI Paul Merage School of Business \nAmber Parker\, Associate Director\, eLearning Support Services\, UCI Paul Merage School of Business

SUMMARY:Webinar | How to Create Equitable Communities of Care in Online Learning
DESCRIPTION:Creating online learning experiences that promote care (referring to a sense of compassion\, empathy\, and consideration for the well-being of others) in an equitable manner requires heightened awareness of multiple dimensions of injustice\, intentional action and adaptation. These considerations are crucial for ensuring all students have the resources\, opportunities\, and support they need to succeed and thrive in a remote learning environment. \nDuring this interactive session\, we explore the concept of “Equitable Communities of Care” and how it applies to online education. We discuss the importance of addressing the needs of all students\, regardless of their background or circumstances\, and the role of emotional and social support in creating a safe and supportive learning environment. \nWe also introduce the “Equity-Care Matrix”\, a tool for analyzing and evaluating educational practices and systems in terms of their fairness and care. You learn how to apply the matrix to your online classes and institutions and identify areas that need improvement. \nWe also introduce the concept of “Intentionally Equitable Hospitality” as an approach to moving towards socially just care in online education. We sample some concrete ideas available in the curated community building resources on OneHE/Equity-Unbound  and discuss ways of adapting them to different contexts. \nBy the end of this webinar\, you have a deeper understanding of how to create educational experiences that are supportive\, inclusive\, and considerate of the needs and perspectives of all participants and have the tools to put this into practice. By promoting care in online learning\, educators can help students build strong relationships\, feel a sense of belonging\, and become more engaged in their education. \nKey Takeaways \nAs a result of attending this interactive and engaging webinar\, participants can:\n●    Apply the Equity-Care Matrix to analyze practices in their own context and institution.\n●    Consider ways to enhance equitable community building using the lens of Intentionally Equitable Hospitality as an approach to socially just care.\n●    Find suitable community building practices to use in online teaching and be ready to adapt them as needed. \nPresenter: Dr. Maha Bali\, PhD | Professor of Practice at the Center for Learning and Teaching at the American University\, Cairo

SUMMARY:Webinar | Cultivating Deep Learning Using Discussion Boards
DESCRIPTION:A frequent sentiment that is often heard from instructors of online courses is a general sense of dissatisfaction with traditional discussion board activities. Many report how students are often reluctant to engage in meaningful discourse or how interactions tend toward superficiality and sound something like\, “Hello\, Rob. I agree with your point and couldn’t have said it better myself.” This often leaves instructors feeling frustrated and tempted to abandon traditional discussion boards as a learning tool altogether or in search of alternative means by which to engage learner collaboration. \nAsynchronous discussion boards are a common tool used by instructors in online courses. These forums can provide an outlet to foster the interaction and collaboration that are sometimes lacking in an online learning environment. When students are engaged in conversations in these settings\, the asynchronous nature of discussions can provide them with time to reflect on their responses before interacting with their peers in a way that is often not feasible in a face-to-face discussion. In this way\, when it is used well\, the discussion board can offer the ideal blend of reflection and collaboration that promotes the construction of knowledge in an online learning environment.

DESCRIPTION:While the success of digital games in education continues to validate the improvement to motivation\, engagement and social influence (Groening & Binnewies\, 2019; Lopez & Tucker\, 2019)\, the impact for asynchronous adult education remains ambiguous. In a substantial course redesign\, we attempted to address notable aspects of gamification within a course that teaches how to design games for learning through higher-order skills. The course incorporates aspects of Knowles Theory of Andragogy to help drive our use of modeling\, authenticity\, and autonomy. \nAs befits a course that focuses on the design of games for learning\, we used a number of instructional design techniques unique to gamification. Learners role-played as trainees in a unique training opportunity named Why So Serious Games Academy led by a team of gaming guides — the instructor(s) — and the facilitator\, Arch McGee. Arch McGee\, a pedagogical agent\, presents as a dynamic character within the course to guide learners through the content asynchronously. As with any game\, each Level contains a custom progress bar for the various activities built within each module. These progress bars help communicate the goals. The course strives to enable learners to feel present within the abstract concepts of game design as they engage with higher-order learning objectives

SUMMARY:Webinar: Value for Money: Should Online Education be Cheaper?
DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 outbreak led to a massive uptake in online education worldwide and rapidly formed or changed public opinions about the quality of online education. As a result\, there is a debate developing on whether online education provides value for money\, shaped by institutions’ concerns about cost effectiveness and students’ requests for tuition refunds. \nIn the post-pandemic era\, online education has become integrated into educational practices. More institutions than ever exploit online education to increase enrolments and revenues\, but this doesn’t guarantee the pedagogical quality of their online programs. On the other hand\, students who choose to participate in online education also bring certain expectations about its accessibility and flexibility — and expect it to be cheaper than face-to-face education. \nThis webinar is a conversation framed by different global perspectives and experiences in online education\, exploring the value-for-money topic by asking “Should online education be cheaper?”

SUMMARY:Webinar - Strategies for Using Badging and Micro-Credentialing in Online Courses
DESCRIPTION:Badging and micro-credentialing are becoming more prevalent in the professional world\, not just in computer science. Digital badges can also be used as an innovative curriculum design model for any course or content area. Badges can be used to identify the skills students have developed in a particular course or program and provide evidence of them to their employers and instructors. Faculty can design their own micro-credential or digital badging projects to support the learning that occurs in their course. As an educator\, micro-credentialing is a creative way to acknowledge students’ work as well as provide them with evidence of their skills and competencies. A digital badge can be placed on an e-portfolio for college\, employers\, and networking\, or upgraded to a microcredential so that it can be verified by your institution. \nThis best practices session will provide strategies and ideas for how you can get started creating digital badge projects\, find tools for designing badges\, and how you can have your students display them in their e-portfolios. You will be provided with resources and information about what digital badging is\, how it supports gamification\, increases motivation\, and how it can become a microcredential. \nKEY TAKEAWAYS:\n\nBe able to understand the differences between digital badging and micro-credentials.\nDiscover the benefits of digital badging and micro-credentials.\nReceive resources to get started on designing a skills-based project for a badge.\nLearn about free resources to support badging and e-portfolios.\nUnderstand the value and pride that come with earning and displaying badges.\nDevelop strategies and skills for using micro-credentials and badging in teaching.\n\nINTENDED AUDIENCE: \n\nK-12 Teachers\nHigher Education Faculty\nTechnology Coaches\nInstructional Designers\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio\n\n\n\n\n\nGina Solano\n\nAssistant Professor of Educational Technology – SUNY Oneonta \n\nDr. Gina Solano is an Assistant Professor of Educational Technology. She teaches a variety of courses in educational technology\, research\, and teaching methods. She teaches both face-to-face and online courses on such topics as technology trends\, STEAM\, multimedia\, online learning\, instructional course design\, and more.
