SUMMARY:Rubric Writing for Inline Grading in Elentra
DESCRIPTION:Writing rubrics doesn’t need to be a daunting task. The initial investment in time pays off when it cuts the time for grading of each individual assignment\, as well as provides students the feedback they need to improve their learning. With Elentra\, rubrics can be created that speed up the workflow for grading for the instructor and provide feedback to the student in one stop. This will make for a streamlined workflow in grading assignments\, SOAP notes\, papers\, and completion certificates. Grades are automatically transferred into the course gradebook. \nSession objectives: \n\nDiscuss the elements of writing a rubric: scales of mastery\, items and groupings\nDescribe the process of creating scales\, items and forms to create rubrics in Elentra\nDiscuss the inline grading process in Elentra using an attached assessment form (Rubric)\nDescribe the two areas in Elentra where they can find feedback from the rubrics

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.

SUMMARY:Online Learning Requirements and 5 Focus Factors of RSI
DESCRIPTION:Many of us do not regularly read policies on higher education online learning requirements and regulations. Yet\, during the pandemic\, the U.S. Department of Education issued updated rules and requirements for distance education. These updated legal federal requirements now include something called “Regular and Substantive Interaction” – or RSI for short – between a student and an instructor. During this session\, we will focus on the DoE RSI requirements for online teaching and learning environments including asynchronous\, synchronous\, and blended/hybrid platforms. \n  \nWhat do these recent changes mean for faculty and the programs offering online education? How can faculty prepare their online course to meet these mandated requirements? What elements should be included within an online course to meet the RSI requirements? Where can faculty go for help? \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the updated definition of distance education\nRecognize the differences between a correspondence course and distance education\nDefine RSI\nList 5 factors that are the focus of RSI\nIdentify how the IDLD team can evaluate your online course to meet RSI requirements

SUMMARY:Webinar | How to Improve and Promote Student Engagement in the Online Classroom
DESCRIPTION:Lectures rarely provide optimal learning environments that secure effective\, sustained learning outcomes. Online learning requires classrooms designed to engage learners and build a sense of ownership of their knowledge. \nAs we explore the future of learning in higher education post-pandemic\, what do we need to know about student engagement? How do we design our classes and the learning experience to balance what we need to teach with engaged learning? \nWe must ask ourselves: Are student engagement and activity-based learning possible in all subjects? What does the research tell us about student engagement? What are some of the cautions about student engagement we should be aware of? \nIn this interactive webinar\, Dr. Amy Sloan brings to the table her considerable experience in program and course design and a strong focus on non-traditional adult learners. \nKey Takeaways \nIn this webinar\, participants explore: \n\nWhy student engagement is a critical variable in student success and what this means for course design and delivery\nExamples of effective student engagement\nThe five Cs of student engagement: connection\, consistency\, content\, community\, and compassion\nThe pitfalls of designs for engagement and the importance of tying active learning to learning outcomes\n\nSpeaker:  Amy Sloan\, Ed.D. | Lecturer\, Department of Curriculum & Instruction at Baylor University

SUMMARY:Webinar - The Spark of Online Learning: How Technology and Emotion Science Invigorates Every Class (Contact North)
DESCRIPTION:Emotion and cognition are inextricably linked – how we feel and connect with others impacts both what we learn and how we retain that learning. When we engage in online learning we are not just presenting information and knowledge or teaching a skill\, we are engaged with emotional\, compassionate\, complex people. We can find ways to connect with them emotionally and personally so that we can unleash the opportunity to learn. \nThat’s the big idea here\, but it has very practical implications. These include: \n\nHow technology can be used to create an emotional connection to students.\nHow we can develop caring and supportive relationships with our students and how they can build a community of inquiry that is mutually supportive.\nHow emotions enable learning and what we can do as teachers to unleash positive emotions – hope\, optimism\, resilience\, efficacy.\n\nIn this engaging and interactive webinar\, Flower Darby will explore her developing understanding of the joy of teaching and the power of technology to enable truly engaging learning. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nUnderstanding why connecting with students at an emotional level matters for effective learning.\nIdentifying how emotions and cognition interrelate.\nExploring practical strategies to put the power of emotions to work in your classes.\nLearning how to create conditions in which you\, as a teacher\, find the joy in teaching\n\nFacilitator:  Flower Darby – Author

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
