Looking for ways to increase student involvement between class times? Whether you are just starting out using online collaboration or whether you want to improve the quality of what students can accomplish working together online, this hands-on workshop is for you! It’s about online collaboration, so the workshop is a hybrid with online components. In-class sessions begin and end the class. In between comes online work. You will use the short book Collaborating Online: Learning Together in Community. Participate online with flexible times and in your pajamas if you wish! You will have reading assignments and online discussions as you create a collaboration activity for your course. A minimum of 4 participants are needed for this class. Invite your colleagues to attend with you. Suitable for  instructors, especially those teaching hybrids.

Motivating and Preparing Today’s Students for College Success

IU Kokomo and Ivy Tech Community College together offer this workshop to the faculty of both schools. Angela Provitera McGlynn, national consultant on teaching and learning issues and author of Teaching Today’s College Students: Widening the Circle of Success, is conducting this workshop to focus on creating the kind of classroom atmosphere that promotes active learning, particularly with today’s college students. Faculty from both schools who teach freshmen indicated high interest in the topic of freshman student motivation to prepare for class and maintain attention in class. Angela McGlynn will help you use strategies to make the classroom environment more welcoming, build rapport with students, encourage student participation, promote student to student interactions, and improve retention and success particularly for underprepared and first generation college students. The workshop starts with sign-in and continental breakfast at 8:30 and concludes at noon. Registrations are needed by June 4th at noon. Suitable for instructors, especially those teaching first year students.

Meets F, Jun 11, 8:30 am – noon in KC-130

Creatively Engaging Online Students: Models and Activities

How do you keep students engaged in the online portion of a course? Student dissatisfaction, apathy, and attrition can take their toll on online learning. In this recorded seminar, e-learning expert Dr. Curt Bonk deals with these concerns by showing you engagement-boosters to keep students interested and involved. Come hear about two unique ways of thinking about online environments for teaching and learning, ways to successfully prepare students for demands of online learning, his TEC-VARIETY model for motivation, the R2D2 model for diverse learning needs, and some low-cost, low-risk, low-time activities. As one of our own, Indiana University Professor Dr. Bonk is an international speaker, author, and authority on educational technology and distance learning known for his presentation style to engage and entertain. Suitable for instructors, especially those teaching hybrids.

How do I Create Engaging Threaded Discussion Questions?

A properly crafted question can engage students’ interest, foster ideas and contributions from other students and, in little time at all, help transform what may have been an uninspired or “flat” classroom into a hotbed of learning in which the ideas and comments of one student are quickly built on by another. During this short recorded program by Dr. John Orlando of Norwich University in Vermont, you learn the difference between good and bad discussion questions, why questions written for a test do not work in an online environment, and key do’s and don’ts to consider in writing good online discussion questions. Learn about questions to avoid, questions to use, managing discussion, and a sample discussion rubric from supplemental materials also provided. Suitable for instructors, especially those teaching hybrids.
