SUMMARY:Webinar | How to Switch Between Online and In-Person Grading  (EDUCAUSE)
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, Northwestern University began looking for a software solution to streamline its grading process. In Crowdmark\, the university found a solution that not only increased grading speed but also allowed instructors to give richer feedback while ensuring grading consistency. Crowdmark is now used by faculty throughout the institution\, including in the Economics\, Mathematics\, Physics\, Chemistry\, and Psychology Departments. As the pandemic lingers\, Northwestern has been able to move seamlessly between in-person and online assessments\, even for large-scale classes and handwritten work. Join faculty presenters as they discuss how Northwestern University adopted and rolled out Crowdmark. Learn how the Teaching & Learning Technologies department supports instructors and how grading has improved since the implementation of Crowdmark. \nOutcomes\n\nLearn how Northwestern University used Crowdmark to assess large courses and grade handwritten work during the pandemic\nDiscover how Northwestern was able to streamline grading processes while giving richer and more cause\nconsistent feedback\nUnderstand how Northwestern University uses Crowdmark to complement the LMS\, measure student learning\, and coordinate grading teams\n\nPresenters:  Victoria Getis | Director\, NUIT IT Services and Support – Teaching & Learning Technologies\, Northwestern University \nStephanie Knezz | Assistant Professor of Instruction\, Northwestern University \nAaron Peterson | Associate Professor of Instruction\, Northwestern University \n

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:Artificial Intelligence: Expanding the impact and access of healthcare worldwide
DESCRIPTION:Since 1957 the idea of artificial intelligence (AI) has moved from myth to reality\, and as we progress into the future\, AI will increase its stronghold in our society. While the advances of this technology are exciting to some\, others are fearful. A recent study found that nearly 69% of college graduates believe AI could take their jobs in a few years\, and with the CheXNet deep learning software being able to read a chest Xray with a higher accuracy than a medically trained professional\, the fear may be validated. \n  \nIn this session we will begin to pull back the curtain on AI. We’ll discuss the history of AI\, and the three main types of artificial intelligence while focusing in on how AI is specifically used in medicine. We will also share insight on an AI application that has some radiologists worried for their job security\, and discuss how some of these fears are unfounded.

SUMMARY:Webinar - How to Design a Micro-Credential that Meets Demand (Contact North/Nord)
DESCRIPTION:Canada has about 10\,000 micro-credentials. But many do not meet the definition of what they are intended to be: short\, focused\, intensive learning linked to skills that are in demand from employers\, industry or a profession. The situation is similar in the U.S. and Europe. The important question is how to design and develop micro-credentials that help more people find jobs\, change jobs or develop the skills they need to keep the jobs they already have. What needs to change in the current approach to this fast-changing form of learning? What can Canadian educators learn from developments elsewhere in the world? \nKey Takeaways \nBy participating in this webinar\, you will: \n\nUnderstand the current state of micro-credentials in Canada and the U.S. including those offered by MOOC providers (Coursera\, edX and FutureLearn) and industry.\nRecognize the five major limitations of the current offerings\nExamine an assessment-driven approach to skills and competency development linked to gap-based microlearning.\nAssess five major design changes needed to make micro-credentials work for students\, employers and communities.\nExplore the future of micro-credentials and long-form credentials: Are they gamechangers or “old wine in new bottles?\n\nFacilitator:   Stephen Murgatroyd | Chief Innovation Officer\, Contact North| Contact Nord

SUMMARY:Facilitator Development Series
DESCRIPTION:As competency-based education expands across the health professions the methods we use in the classroom also expand in order to promote active learning both inside and outside of the classroom. While we develop new learner skills through a competency-based approach we must also develop new faculty skills to meet the expanding needs for our students to attain competence. Both small group and large classroom teaching must adapt and expand how we teach and how we engage with learners.\n\nIn this 8-week faculty development series we will explore various teaching techniques and facilitator skills that can be used in the classrooms\, laboratories\, simulations\, and in clinical practice sites. The series will progress through 8 sessions. Each session will last 1 hour and is broken down into a theory burst about a specific teaching technique or facilitator skill\, followed by a practice period. The session will end with a debrief along with making specific plans to use the technique/skill with learners. Sessions will occur every other Friday over the course of a semester. While there is a progression in the skills focused upon faculty are welcome to sign up and participate in any of the sessions. The series will run the length of the Spring semester\nThe Second session is scheduled for Friday\, January 21\, 2022 from 3-4 PM via Zoom. Subsequent sessions are scheduled for the same time every other Friday. Faculty across both campuses and clinical sites are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:Ditch Toxic Positivity -- Here's What to Do Instead
DESCRIPTION:What is toxic positivity? In a Healthline article on toxic positivity it was defined by clinical psychologist Jamie Zuckerman as\, “The assumption\, either by one’s self or others\, that despite a person’s emotional pain or difficult situation\, they should only have a positive mindset or ‘positive vibes’.”   \nThis type of response to other people’s pain has been shown to do more harm than good. In this CETL session\, participants will look at other methods for supporting and responding to peers and students when difficult topics arise.  \n  \n  \nSession Objectives:  \n\nDefine toxic positivity and explain the negative aspects of it. \nProvide tips for supporting peers and students when difficult subjects arise.

SUMMARY:This Meeting Could have Been an Email.
DESCRIPTION:Meeting overload was a problem before the pandemic\, but now with back-to-back Zoom meetings instead of the long Esplanade walks to our conference room destination\, we have more time…and more time means more meetings. Advice on facilitating better meetings is plentiful\, but often skips a crucial first step: asking yourself whether you need to have a meeting in the first place. \n  \nDuring this session\, we will uncover the answer to the question that has plagued our Outlook calendars for years…Could this meeting have been an email? \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n– Identify if a meeting should be an email by using a simple flowchart. \n– List the steps that can be taken to maximize meeting effectiveness. \n– Explain how to effectively write a structured email to help reduce meetings

SUMMARY:Webinar - Member QuickTalk | Microcredentialing | Educause
DESCRIPTION:As one of the 2021 EDUCAUSE Teaching and Learning Horizon Report key technologies and practices\, microcredentials are quickly becoming a mainstay of the higher education landscape. But institutions are at varying stages of maturity\, and there are many opportunities to learn from each other. \nJoin your peers in conversation about how higher ed is taking credentials to the next level. Share lessons learned by discussing momentum points\, possible barriers\, and important considerations. \nThis is the first step in what will be a number of activities guided by this discussion. We plan to develop more resources to support your institution’s efforts and make the implementation of microcredentials easier. Bring along your ideas and questions for the community to discuss. No matter what stage you are in\, everyone has something to contribute. \n  \nFacilitated by:  Sherri Braxton\, Senior Director for Digital Innovation\, Bowdoin College \n                          Kelly Hoyland\, Higher Education Program Manager\, IMS Global Learning Consortium \n                          Meena Naik\, Program Director Career connect\, University of North Texas \n                          Kathe Pelletier\, Director\, Teaching and Learning Program\, EDUCAUSE \n                          Kristi Wold-McCormick\, Assistant vice Provost and University Registrar\, University of Colorado Boulder

SUMMARY:Facilitator Development Series
DESCRIPTION:As competency-based education expands across the health professions the methods we use in the classroom also expand in order to promote active learning both inside and outside of the classroom. While we develop new learner skills through a competency-based approach we must also develop new faculty skills to meet the expanding needs for our students to attain competence. Both small group and large classroom teaching must adapt and expand how we teach and how we engage with learners.\n\nIn this 8-week faculty development series we will explore various teaching techniques and facilitator skills that can be used in the classrooms\, laboratories\, simulations\, and in clinical practice sites. The series will progress through 8 sessions. Each session will last 1 hour and is broken down into a theory burst about a specific teaching technique or facilitator skill\, followed by a practice period. The session will end with a debrief along with making specific plans to use the technique/skill with learners. Sessions will occur every other Friday over the course of a semester. While there is a progression in the skills focused upon faculty are welcome to sign up and participate in any of the sessions. The series will run the length of the Fall semester and will be repeated again in the Spring semester.\n\nThe first session is scheduled for Friday\, August 13\, from 3-4 PM via Zoom. Subsequent sessions are scheduled for the same time every other Friday. Faculty across both campuses and clinical sites are welcome to attend.
