SUMMARY:Best of the Minnesota Summit Webinars
DESCRIPTION:Building Quality Online Experiences: Program Standards\, Training\, Design\nThursday\, December 12\, 2019\, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. CST\nPresented by: Nancy McGinley Myers\, Lisa Abendroth\, Kevin Henderson\, Hannah Hedegard\, University of St. Thomas\nWe launched the first cohort in the Online MBA at the University of St. Thomas in Spring 2019. With student experience in mind\, we identified three areas where the program needed consistency: program standards\, faculty training\, and instructional design. Our presentation will focus on each of these areas. First\, we will share our process for developing program standards. We will explain why standards are important\, how we identified areas for and levels of standardization\, and the role program faculty played in this process. We will also share the standards themselves\, which cover course design\, course delivery\, media\, and more. Second\, we will share some of the ways we onboard our faculty\, both to the instructional design process and to online teaching. Faculty are trained in instructional design principles\, technology tools\, and course facilitation. Third\, we will share our proposed course design timeline and lessons learned. One of those lessons includes how to identify courses that may take more or less time to design and build\, for example courses that are heavy in math. Along the way\, we will provide opportunities for the audience to share their own related experiences in launching online programs. The session will end with time for questions. \nLogin Details\nLink: umn.zoom.us/j/249632923 \n\nAll Minnesota State employees are welcome to attend at no charge\, free monthly webinars on topics related to teaching and learning with technology. These are offered through the Minnesota Learning Commons which sponsors the Minnesota Summit on Learning and Technology conference. The webinars include the most highly rated presentations from the past year’s Summit (2019)\, as well as presentations on special projects by educators from around the state. \nSubscribe to receive a marketing email about all MnLC Best of the Summit webinars. \n\nThis is part of a series called “Best of the Minnesota Summit Webinars”\nView other events in the series.\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Best of the Minnesota Summit Webinars
DESCRIPTION:Think Your Way Out of the Problem\nThursday\, October 17\, 2019\, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. CDT\nPresented by: Pamela McGee\, Denise Gorsline\, Joshua Behl\, Minnesota State University\, Moorhead\nTo successfully navigate today’s challenges in education\, regardless of the level\, we need to find a way to create a culture of innovation and collaboration. Using practices that have been effective in business seemed like a good place to start. Design thinking is a process that unites people around collaborative learning and solves a “real” problem at the same time. Using these design thinking principles\, MSUM launched a Think Tank initiative to help faculty create collaboratively\, solve a problem for the university\, and potentially join a growing team of innovators who teach design thinking on campus. Attend this session to learn how the Academic Affairs Innovation Team\, deans\, and faculty created Think Tanks\, using design thinking principles and the lessons learned along the way. You’ll learn from the perspective of an administrator\, a faculty participant\, and an academic dean on how and why this worked\, some challenges along the way\, and how you might try out this process. \nLogin Details\nLink: umn.zoom.us/j/249632923 \n\nAll Minnesota State employees are welcome to attend at no charge\, free monthly webinars on topics related to teaching and learning with technology.

SUMMARY:Best of the Minnesota Summit Webinars
DESCRIPTION:Recipes for Effective Online Teaching: Curated Videos Plus Activities\nThursday\, September 19\, 2019\, 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. CDT\nPresented by: Susan Tade\, University of Minnesota; Nima Salehi\, School of Nursing\, University of Minnesota\nResearch shows us that recording hours of video lectures for online or flipped classes is an ineffective online teaching resource. Studies show that students aren’t watching them. Faculty effort\, technical staff and captioning is expensive. What are effective options? This presentation will highlight key research on the types of videos faculty should be creating. It will identify strategies faculty can use to create focused video presentations and the support services needed. It will provide suggestions for activities\, prior to\, during and after watching course videos\, that ensure greater student engagement and deeper learning. During this session presenters will outline research showing that the most effective video lecture is short; between 3 to 15 minutes long. That creating lectures which are informal\, lively yet well scripted and clearly audible are key to engaging students. Examples will be provided of effective video lecture design strategies for curating content\, such as segmenting content\, weeding out unnecessary content and using visual and verbal cues to enhance cognition. Finally we will review activities that help students digest video lecture content critically from within the context of lesson\, module or learning objectives. \nLogin Details\nLink: umn.zoom.us/j/249632923 \n\nAll Minnesota State employees are welcome to attend at no charge\, free monthly webinars on topics related to teaching and learning with technology.
