Future-Proof Your Online Course: Changing Regulations & Best Practices
Thursday October 3, 2024 10:30am - 11:20am CDT
Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants
Feedback Survey
You may have been teaching online for a while, or perhaps you're teaching online for the first time! Bring your own coffee (or beverage of choice) and join me for an engaging session to demystify U.S. Department of Education's Regular & Substantive Interaction (RSI) and attendance-taking requirements for online courses. By the end of the session, instructors, developers, and program leaders will be able to identify two or more methods by which your online course likely ALREADY satisfies current, and possibly future, federal regulatory requirements.

Feedback Survey
This session will introduce a number of games that have been developed or adapted to increase student engagement across disciplines and fit various modes of instruction including lectures, discussions, reviews, and more! These games and accompanying resources will include digital options (PlayingCards.io, Google Dice, etc.) that can support remote learning as well as games played face-to-face (Chameleon, Jenga, etc.) that can encourage more interaction from students within the classroom.  Participants will also get to begin developing or adapting games for their own classes through “Game-Storming” sessions and prompts provided in a session workbook!

Using AI for an Asynchronous, Online Active Learning Activity
Thursday October 3, 2024 1:00pm - 1:25pm CDT
Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants
Feedback Survey
This session explores using an AI-generated, interactive, self-directed review activity as an active learning component in an asynchronous, online course. Specifically, an AI “script” will be provided for attendees to paste into ChatGPT (or their preferred AI tool) to explore educational research concepts. The activity was adapted from several scripts provided in Kosslyn’s Active Learning with AI (2023). The session also reviews student feedback on the effectiveness of this activity to meet course learning outcomes.

Feedback Survey
This session will help you turn your "boring old online class" into an action-packed quest with adventure around every turn!  Ok, not quite, but it will show you how to use AI to make your class feel more like an adventure than an assignment for your students and open their minds to the exploratory nature of learning.  You'll also see how integrating standards-based grading can help shift students' mindsets away from accumulating points and focus them on gaining skills.

Virtual; Zoom link provided to registrants
Feedback Survey
While “lunch and learns” and in-person and synchronous online faculty workshops still exist and serve a distinct purpose in building communities of practice in higher education, more and more faculty development happens when instructors are online, on their own time. This six-person, interactive panel seeks to explore how and why we design asynchronous faculty development opportunities for instructors at Missouri Online and Washington University in St. Louis and to share with others what we’re learning along the way.

In this talk, we will present our study in Calculus III classes (both online and in-person) with semi-flipped teaching and team discussions incorporated. We will examine how TBL strategies can help improve students’ preparedness and engagement in class, and also, how students’ perceptions may change during the course. We will also share how student-centered course activities are designed as well as motives behind through a case study and how a similar framework may be adapted to different courses in math or other subjects.
