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.

SUMMARY:Webinar | Level Up: Gamifying an Asynchronous Course on Designing Games for Learning through Modeling\, Authenticity\, and Learner Autonomy
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:How to Prepare Students for Learning in Times of Uncertainty
DESCRIPTION:How can we help prepare students for an increasingly uncertain world? How do we handle a situation with too much information\, too many competing interests and too many variables at work? \nAnswers are everywhere\, but which one do we choose? \nFor millennia\, our approach to learning has been the process of eliminating uncertainty. We look for the solution and remember it. We solve problems. We get the answer right. That’s how we’ve been taught to learn. Find an authority\, find their answer\, remember it. We now face the opposite problem. Advice is abundant. Solutions are everywhere. \nThis webinar explores the notions of learning in times of uncertainty\, how to teach for uncertainty versus teaching the basics\, and how we can help prepare students for an uncertain future.
