SUMMARY:Improving Student Learning with Retrieval Strategies (Summer 2025)
DESCRIPTION:As faculty\, we play a critical role not only in delivering course content but also in supporting students in transferring that knowledge into long-term memory. This webinar will explore a three-stage model of learning—encoding\, storage\, and retrieval—based on the work of Agarwal and Bain (2019). Special emphasis will be placed on the retrieval stage\, where learning is actively reinforced and strengthened. Participants will leave the session with practical retrieval strategies they can immediately apply in both face-to-face and online classrooms. \nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation.

SUMMARY:Digging into Wise Feedback (Summer 2025)
DESCRIPTION:We know that we assess because we want to see what students are learning. Feedback on those assessments plays a critical role in learning. It can be an opportunity to reinforce ideas in the course content and assure students know they can meet expectations. Indicating whether something is correct or incorrect is only a start: what other elements can we include in our feedback to encourage students and lead them to competence with the content? Let’s talk about strategies for giving wise feedback that are beneficial and mindful of workload concerns. \nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation. \n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact the Network for Educational Development. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.

SUMMARY:Enhancing Student Learning Outcomes Through Feedback
DESCRIPTION:As faculty\, our role extends beyond delivering course content—we are also essential in helping students consolidate knowledge into long-term memory. However\, without effective feedback\, students’ metacognitive awareness may remain inaccurate\, leading to overconfidence and a disconnect between perceived and actual learning (Agarwal & Bain\, 2019). This webinar will introduce two evidence-based forms of feedback—elaborative feedback and correct answer feedback—that have been shown to enhance student learning. Participants will also gain practical strategies to incorporate additional feedback into their teaching practices\, ultimately fostering deeper learning and student success. \nAccommodations\nThe NED is committed to providing universal access to all of our events\, we’d like to discover how we can make the event more inclusive so you can fully participate! \nMachine generated captions are available in real-time for all Zoom events\, however human generated CART (live caption) service and ASL interpretation can be requested with advanced notice (2 weeks) to make the event more accessible. \nPlease\, let us know of any disability-related accommodations that will facilitate your full participation. \n Request Accommodations\nQuestions?\nContact facilitator Ann Lichliter. \nRegistration Required\nUse the RSVP tool below to register.

SUMMARY:Empathy by Design (Summer 2025)
DESCRIPTION:May 27 – June 15\, 2025\n\nShort Course\nDescription \nThis course is intended for Minnesota State faculty who are either teaching or planning to teach an online or hybrid course and are interested applying evidence-based strategies for humanizing the learning experience through effective facilitation and course design. The course is online and asynchronous. Although there are no scheduled class meetings\, participants may engage in virtual meetings with other students and course instructors as needed and at their convenience. The course is designed to take no more than 10 hours of work per week to complete.  \nThis is a facilitated\, collaborative learning experience that models many of the humanizing strategies that instructors might choose to include in their own courses. Participants will learn experientially by engaging with an instructor and colleagues from across the system in activities that showcase humanizing practices in action.  \nFaculty will develop their professional knowledge by reviewing the current theory and research in the area of humanizing online learning and engaging in independent reading in their own disciplines\, contributing what they discover to a shared knowledge base. They will then reflect on their own teaching style and practices and select evidence-based\, humanizing instructional strategies for implementation or refinement in their own online courses. They will evaluate and select specific techniques and tools for supporting those strategies and learn how to apply them.  \nBy the end of the course\, faculty will be able to make informed decisions regarding humanizing instructional strategies\, they will have a fully articulated plan for implementing and refining two or three humanizing strategies in their own courses\, and they will have the opportunity to join a growing learning community through which they can continue to learn and share the results of their humanizing strategies with colleagues from across the system.  \nFrom the Facilitator\n \nDirect link: Introduction to Empathy by Design \nCourse Learning Objectives \n\nDefine “humanizing” as it relates to online teaching and learning and explain why it’s important. \n\n\nDiscuss research findings connecting humanizing facilitation and course design strategies with online student success. \n\n\nEvaluate three tools and techniques for implementing evidence-based humanizing strategies to your own discipline/course. \n\n\nDevelop a fully articulated implementation plan for introducing or enhancing two to three evidence-based humanizing strategies in your online courses that best fit your teaching style. \n\nTechnical Skill Requirements\n\nUse a web browser  \nCreate\, save and upload Word documents  \nNavigate Microsoft Windows  \nCreate and send an email using your Minnesota State account  \nEvaluate and decide whether or not to use OneDrive  \nPerform basic tasks associated with the following D2L Brightspace tools: Content\, Quizzes and Assignments \n\nMaterials Required \nPrior to beginning this course\, you should complete the following activities:  \n\nSelect a course that you’d like to which you’d like to apply these concepts \nContact your campus D2L/IT Helpdesk to create a D2L Brightspace “Sample/Sandbox” Course if you do not have one.\n\nSuggested Audience \nFaculty (Full-time and part-time)\, Instructional Designers and Technologists\, Faculty Developers/Trainers\, and Concurrent Enrollment instructors.  \nEstimated Time Commitment \nThe course is designed to be 4-6 hours of work per week to complete.  \nReflect on your Professional Development \nAs you progress through this course\, please consider how you can use the assignments as a way to highlight your work on your Professional Development Plan.
