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

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.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Ten Features of the Future of Learning Beyond School: How Can We Build Back Better?
DESCRIPTION:The future is not a straight line from the past. As universities and colleges come to terms with some new realities – operational\, financial\, logistical\, ethical – what does their future look like? What needs to change? What will change? \nThe Challenge \nCOVID-19 has been a game changer for governments\, universities and colleges. They now need to imagine a different future – one with fewer international students\, less money\, more flexible and different approaches to learning\, new competitors and new approaches to credentials\, skills and competencies. \nGovernments and employers are also looking towards colleges and universities to respond to urgent needs to upskill and reskill the workforce\, many of whom are deeply impacted by changes in the employment landscape. Whole sectors – hospitality and tourism\, airlines\, retail – have been massively impacted. \nAlready\, some universities and colleges around the world have closed. Others are reducing programs and services and more changes are on the horizon. In Canada\, some governments are investing in post-secondary education while others are making dramatic reductions in funding. All governments are exploring new approaches to apprenticeship and skills. What is on the horizon in terms of policy\, funding and expectations? \nThis presentation will build on recent contributions to the work on strategic foresight related to post-secondary education and the place of technology in the future of learning. \nKey Takeaways \nAs a result of this presentation\, you will better understand: \n\nThe social\, economic and political challenges facing colleges\, universities and training organizations in Canada.\nThe five big challenges colleges and universities face as we begin to imaging a post-pandemic world.\nThe ten dominant change features of post-secondary education post-pandemic.\nThe three imperatives for a different future which are required from policy makers and institutional leaders.\n\n\n\n\nTags: COVID & Online Learning \n\n\nHost:\n\n\n\n\nDr. Stephen Murgatroyd\nContact North | Contact Nord Research Associate\n\n\nDr. Stephen Murgatroyd\, FRSA teaches strategic foresight at the University of Alberta and University of Toronto and strategic management at Athabasca University. A pioneer of online learning – he led the team that created the world’s first fully online MBA in 1994 – he also serves as Contact North | Contact Nord’s Chief Innovation Officer. \nStephen has authored over forty books\, including two on strategic foresight\, and has consulted for educational organizations and governments in Paraguay\, Chile\, New Zealand\, USA\, Canada\, Australia\, Dubai\, UK\, Hong Kong\, China\, South Africa and Europe.

SUMMARY:Webinar: The Hybrid Campus: How COVID-19 and Technology are Reshaping Colleges and Universities
DESCRIPTION:As higher education leaders\, decision-makers and governments look to the future of colleges and universities\, the decisions they make now will have impacts on our higher education system for years to come. \nThere is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on our colleges and universities. But there is more to come. While many seek a return to “normal”\, they will need to adjust to the new normal. What does this involve? \n• A Hybrid Campus: All services\, not just teaching and learning\, will need to be offered online – advising\, careers guidance\, counseling\, registrar\, finance.\n• Rethinking the Academic Portfolio: Teaching and learning will need to be provided in every case as both blended and online – we can no longer assume that social gatherings in large numbers will be possible. We can also better serve a more diverse population through a hybrid approach.\n• Refocus Learning and the Student Experience – focus on lifelong learning\, engaged and authentic learning\, and collaborative learning experience. Intensify project-based learning and strengthen ties with alumni. \nBecoming hybrid will encourage innovation\, increase access\, improve quality and lower costs. It will be a compelling new model for many colleges and universities\, not just in the U.S. and Canada\, but around the world. It requires a real rethinking and reimagining of all workflows\, technology adoption and opportunities at colleges and universities. \nThere are several institutions already exemplifying some key features of this future – University of Central Florida\, Georgia State University – which will be used to illustrate this thinking. \nIn this interactive webinar\, Cole Clark\, Managing Director of Higher Education at Deloitte and author Jeffrey Selingo\, will share their thinking and the findings from some recent explorations. \n  \nKey Takeaways \n• How the academic portfolio will be reshaped by a shift to the hybrid campus.\n• What the hybrid campus means for the college and university

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.
