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 | The Evolving Conversation About Quality in Online Learning
DESCRIPTION:During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic\, online learning rose to prominence in a way that may have otherwise taken years (if not decades) to transpire. Digital forms of postsecondary education were suddenly thrust into the national conversation\, as almost all educators and students moved to what became\nknown as emergency remote instruction for at least several months. \nIn this webinar\, you’ll hear from special report author Kristi DePaul and Inside Higher Ed Editor Doug Lederman as they discuss the newly-released special report\, “The Evolving Conversation About Quality in Online Learning\,” which examines how the pandemic has reshaped both the practice and perceptions of online\, hybrid and blended learning in postsecondary education. \nYou’ll walk away better informed about:\n• Changing student demands and expectations regarding online quality\n• Growing institutional support and training for faculty members\n• How quality is judged in virtual learning\, and who does the judging\n• Best practices for high-quality instruction\, however it is delivered

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

SUMMARY:Partner Webinar: New School Year\, New You: Strategies for Managing Stress\, Exhaustion\, and Burnout for Pandemic Fatigued and Weary Online Instructors
DESCRIPTION:This webinar is part of our OLC Innovate 2021 Best-in-Track (Leadership and Advocacy) summer webinar series! \nFor some instructors\, the pandemic events of 2020 and 2021 brought new challenges to teaching and learning\, alongside an imbalance in routines\, priorities\, and self-care habits. Many Instructors found themselves buried under grading and content creation\, all while managing multiple other personal and professional priorities. As we embark on a new school year\, join us for an engaging and collaborative group conversation to identify strategies for managing stress\, identifying outlets for self-care\, and reflecting on the nuggets of strength\, grace\, and hope that helped us persist through the worst of the pandemic. \nIn this honest\, personal\, informative\, and engaged conversation session\, participants will explore their self-care routines and strategies (or lack thereof) and how they might find new ways to build self-care practices and strategies into their daily practices moving forward. Let’s work together to create individualized plans to weather whatever challenges the new school year brings. \nBy participating in this webinar\, you will… \n\nIdentify at least one strategy you use to infuse self-care into your daily routine.\nIdentify at least one person you will actively build a network with and together further support and mentor one another to address burnout\, fatigue\, and self-care.\nDiscuss strategies for rewriting one’s fatigue\, burnout\, and stress dialogue.\nIdentify possible teaching-focused strategies that could reduce stress\, fatigue\, and burnout.\n\nPlease note: This webinar will NOT be recorded in order to encourage and protect candid sharing from participants in a safe space.
