Presenters: Steve Kaufman and Aaron Carpenter , Ashland University

---

We're back! In this session will be showing some of the best apps for education across multiple types of devices. It doesn't matter if you use an iPad, Android device, or even Google Chrome, more often than not, there is in fact an "app for that".

We will provide examples of fun assignments to conduct using apps, and also show some of the best ways to share an iPad screen or Android screen in your classroom. (Hint: It's not using a Document Camera!)

Get some new ideas for your classroom and share some of your ideas of how apps can be used in education.

 

PLEASE LOGIN BY 1:45 Eastern to ensure that you have a "seat."

    NOTE:  Login instructions for the session are sent in the Registration Confirmation Email. Please check your Junk folder as sometimes these emails get trapped there. We will also send an additional login reminder 24 hours prior to the start of the event.

As always, we welcome your attendance and your participation.

Register here.

The Syllabus Enthusiast │Lawsuits and Transparency

eNews from the Syllabus Geeks :: Issue 6

 

The NCTQ Wants Your Syllabi... But can they have them?   The National Council on Teacher Quality was organized to assess and ultimately raise the bar on teacher education. As part of their studies they are reviewing syllabi as one of a multitude of metrics combined to determine a grade for every school of education. While there remains some contention as to the validity of syllabi as an input to their assessment process, many schools (particularly public institutions) have provided their syllabi without question. In fact many of them already have processes for managing syllabi and openly sharing with the public. However, a number of schools withheld and soon found themselves in a bit of hot water. They argued that syllabi are intellectual property and thus they are not required to share them. So the NCTQ sued schools across various states for access to their syllabi... And they won. Get the whole scoop on the NCTQ cases and what the results mean for syllabus IP and transparency. >> Share     Syllabus of the Day Itching to know the most viewed syllabus this fall? That honor goes to Professor Linde of UBC with her Strategic Management course. Another interesting fact, Introduction to Computers was the most popular course title, followed closely by English Composition. Syllarazzi Behind the Scenes Webster University Webster University has been one of our longest and strongest clients. With over 20k students across 100+ sites world-wide, they've helped bring to life a number of innovative syllabus management features we now all enjoy. Last month we caught up with Lauren Brown to learn about their implementation and success with Concourse. She also provided background on their underlying motivation for better syllabus management and the tools and processes they used prior to Concourse. It is definitely an interview worth listening to. Thanks Lauren for sharing your story of syllabus domination with us! >> Feature Facts Audit and the Syllabus Lifecycle While Audit has been a core feature of Concourse for nearly two years, this marks its first appearance in the Syllabus Enthusiast. Mostly driven by accreditation and legislative reporting, it's our understanding that audit is now being extensively used in three sequential workflows: new course approval, template check-off, and sectional syllabus review. All three of these steps are integral parts of managing the syllabus lifecycle, so what used to take institutions dozens of hours to complete can now be done in mere minutes. It's no wonder why audit has rapidly become a client favorite. >> NCTQ Syllabus Geek Friend or Foe While one could easily jump to the conclusion that a group suing for syllabi is not one the Syllabus Geeks should share superpowers with, we actually have a number of common goals: increased transparency, outcome improvement, and analytical decision making. In fact, we see Concourse as a way to bridge institutional and assessment agency needs. Concourse centrally protects IP. It streamlines content collection and organization. And information is then readily accessible and digestible. We appreciate the work the NCTQ and other agencies are doing so students know exactly what to expect of their experience. >>

8th Institute for New Faculty Developers

The Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Kennesaw State University and the POD Network are pleased to present the 8th Institute for New Faculty Developers Registrations are now being accepted for the Institute, to be held June 24-28, 2013, in Atlanta, Georgia. Faculty development is crucial for institutions which are becoming more student-centered and need to be more accountable to the public. As a career, it is rewarding and exciting. And yet, most people in the field entered it without proper training or a qualifying degree and have faced a steep learning curve when they were starting out. The Institute is designed to answer questions asked by new faculty developers and to provide the resources to get them started in planning, developing, and managing programs that will be effective in strengthening teaching and learning on campus. Participants at the Institute will learn from a group of outstanding presenters and facilitators from a diverse mix of institutions who are recognized leaders in the field. Participants will save $150 off the regular Institute fee when registering by the Early Bird deadline of April 5, 2013. Those who register by the early bird deadline will also be included in the needs assessment, and will be able to give input as to what concurrent sessions would be most helpful to them. Fees for this five-day program include all program activities and materials, two key resources “A Guide to Faculty Development” and “How Learning Works: 7 Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching,” and most meals and refreshments, all at a reasonable rate.

LINE-UP

 

The faculty and staff must assemble in academic regalia by 10:45 a.m., in front of Rosenwald Hall.  The Faculty Marshals will arrange the order of the procession and will lead faculty and staff members to their reserved seats.  The procession will begin promptly at 11:00 a.m.  Faculty and staff members not in academic regalia will not be permitted to march into the Chapel with the faculty.   

 

In the processional, the Faculty Marshals will seat the students, followed by the student processional which is directed by the Student Marshals. When the students are seated, the University Marshals will lead the platform guests into the Chapel.

 

In the recessional, the platform party will proceed followed by the faculty, staff, and then the students. 

 

 

ATTIRE 

 

Academic regalia and dark colors are required for all participants in the academic procession.  Males should remove their caps prior to the invocation and place them on their heads just before marching out, after the benediction.

 

For rental of academic regalia please order from Ms. Lucy Green in the Campus Bookstore.

 

Your participation is central to the continued success and reverence of this ceremony.  I hope to see each of you there.
