OLI Faculty Connect
The OLI Faculty Liaisons will be holding two events, one in February and one in March. This is your opportunity to connect with faculty peers and talk about teaching, learning, technology, and anything else.
- NEXT WEDNESDAY! February 22 at 5:00pm with Leonora Loeb (Visual Studies) and Shelly Nicholas (Business).
- March 21 at 1:00pm with Nicole Kirpalani (Fashion Merchandising and Marketing) and Christina Neubrand (Arts and Sciences).
Online Teaching Essentials
Are you teaching a 7-week fully online (asynchronous) course in Session 2? These courses can be challenging to teach when you don't meet with students in a classroom or Zoom. They also move quickly! In this session, we'll talk about strategies for keeping your online students engaged and on-track.
By the end of this session, you should be able to integrate 1-2 strategies into your fully online course.
Gamify Your Course!
Gamification is a unique learning theory based around using videogame development techniques to improve student engagement and learning. This course will explore how to use those techniques and gamify your course to provide a fresh new learning experience for your online and face to face classes!
6th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference
Request for Proposals!
APRIL 14, 1:00PM -4:00PM EST via Zoom
This year, the conference will focus on Modern Approaches to Teaching.
This Conference will open with an interactive component that focuses on the current AI technology making waves in higher education. Then, we'll ask you to share some strategies that you think will benefit your colleagues: online teaching, assessment, Zoom, DEI&A, adapting new technologies, etc. It's up to you!
This is your opportunity to share your successes, challenges, etc.
You will have 30 minutes: 10-15 minutes to present and 10-15 minutes to discuss.
