In fact\, when you correctly utilize short-term gains\, you will b uild interest in and momentum for your efforts\, and that vastley increase s the likelihood of overall success.

It doesn't happen overnight. We all know that any kind of meaningful change takes time. And yet sometimes your constituents run out of patience before you prove the validity of your efforts. Even when you've had subst antial success\, your project could fail if you don't adequately demonstra te what you've achieved before your critics and skeptics have written thin gs off. There is a way to hold everyone's attention and maintain support f or your change effort. The key is to use short-term wins to demonstrate ea rly achievements and create a clear path to success. In fact\, when you co rrectly utilize short-term gains\, you will build interest in and momentum for your efforts\, and that vastley increases the likelihood of overall s uccess. You can learn how to harness the power of incremental progress in this session.

DESCRIPTION:Lolita Paff\, PhD\, Associate Professor\, Penn State Berks Stud ents and teachers don’t always define rigor in the same way. If you asked your students to define rigor\, what would they say? Would their answers m atch yours? Would it matter if they didn’t? Students tend to view the qual ity of a class as a function of their own ability to meet reasonable facul ty expectations rather than as a function of mastery of learning outcomes. This can ultimately lead to students who are disengaged with the course m aterial and unmotivated to meet expectations. That’s why there’s tremendou s value in initiating conversations with students about learning and how t hat relates to definitions of “hard” courses. In doing so\, you’re better able to align your definitions of rigor with students’ definitions of rigo r\, and develop students who are more willing to put in the work and take responsibility for their own learning.

In any course\, the syllabus is the s tarting point and outlines the details of course. In the online environmen t\, though\, there are multiple factors that can be served with a more com prehensive syllabus. Online students are challenged with feeling connected to the teacher and classmates\, knowing what they need to do and when to do it\, and understanding how to navigate an online course which might inc lude more reading and more written responses than they are used to in a fa ce-to-face class. Additionally\, online students often represent a differe nt demographic than face-to-face students: they are varied in age\, experi ence and confidence\; they choose their own class time\; they face potenti al disruptions such as from work and family\; they live in different time zones from the instructor and their classmates. The syllabus can not only help a student navigate the course content\, but it also can become a subs titute for first-day-of-class conversations\, detail major assignments\, a nd explain online-specific requirements such as technology required\, neti quette\, or recycled writing policies. Learn how to make an effective syll abus for online courses that will help you create a smoothly running class .

DESCRIPTION:Erik Christensen\, Dean\, South Florida State College Textbooks typically account for one-third of the cost of a college education - but that doesn't have to be the case. One way to combat the high cost of stude nt learning materials and promote classroom enrollment is through the impl ementation of open educational resources (OER). There are many benefits to implementing OER in the classroom. OER are low-cost (or free) to students \, peer-reviewed\, typically found online\, and come in multiple forms\, i ncluding textbooks\, videos\, images\, PowerPoints\, test banks\, and more . On top of that\, because OER are not bound by copyright laws other than Creative Commons licensing\, you can adapt and edit them to align with the learning objectives of your courses.

Textbooks typically account for one-th ird of the cost of a college education - but that doesn't have to be the c ase. One way to combat the high cost of student learning materials and pro mote classroom enrollment is through the implementation of open educationa l resources (OER). There are many benefits to implementing OER in the clas sroom.

DESCRIPTION:Jill Purdy\, PhD\, Associate Professor/Director\, Cedar Crest C ollege Online course design can either hinder or help learners focus and a bsorb the material. If the student is exerting their energies on manipulat ing the system\, less time is available to devote to learning and critical ly thinking about the material. On the other hand\, when expectations are clear\, both faculty and students save time and avoid frustration. This le ads to three key elements of online design: consistency\, creativity\, and community. Consistency addresses the need to set up a course with uniform ity and clear expectations. Creativity examines the fact that even though uniformity exists\, there are many creative options for providing variety in learning the material. Lastly\, community - building relationships in t he online environment - enhances engagement online. Are you ready to lever age these three key elements in your online courses?

DESCRIPTION:Flower Darby\, Senior Instructional Designer\, Northern Arizona University Faculty tend to separate emotions from the teaching and learni ng that takes place in classes. Many have bought into a well-established t radition that college instruction should be dry\, dusty\, and academic in order to be authentic. But recent research shows that emotions have a stro ng impact on cognition.
