KEYNOTE: “Approaching Intentionality: Factors that Influence Student Success”
Our entire educational experience prepares us to teach, or does it? From our first day of college, we experience anticipatory socialization before we enter our profession. We learn about the roles of teachers, instructors, and faculty; we learn about schools and colleges. We may even take courses on education, teaching and learning, or pedagogy. As newcomers to our role, we rely on predispositions, past experiences, and the interpretation of others to inform our instructional practices. Eventually, we go through a metamorphosis where we have learned the attitudes and behaviors of old. Yet, too often, these instincts that we have developed may be misinformed. Some of us develop this angst about our role. Is this working? How do I know? How can I improve it? Moreover, many of us fear change and the novelty of new practices and technologies in our classrooms.
Dr. Joosten will share considerations in moving from instinct to intentionality in rethinking your instructional practices in your courses from onsite to online based on research in the field and at the National Research Center for Distance Education and Technological Advancements.

Curriculum “drift and bloat” often results in courses feeling too full and faculty overwhelmed by the amount of content they are expected to cover. One of the things Coursetune offers clients is the ability to dive into their curriculum and work with it in a meaningful way. The ability to see the entire curriculum in one view provides institutions with a unique sorting system that helps them determine what should stay and what should go.

Summative Assessments and Remote Teaching
Suppose you suddenly have to teach from home for several weeks. Or rather, several students are suddenly quarantined at home and cannot attend class. Shifting to remote teaching can be easier with the tips you’ll learn in this session. In fact, you might even find that teaching remotely has some pedagogies that are near impossible to adopt in a face-to-face classroom. Our CEO, Maria Andersen, has been using remote teaching and synchronous online teaching for a decade, and will share some tips and best practices for making your remote classes run smoothly.

Discussion Boards: Creating Meaningful Dialog
Discussion boards have been utilized for online learning for decades, but are we using them as effectively and efficiently as we can? Do you worry that your discussion boards feel more like busy work than a community of learning? You might notice students are just going through the motions: posting questions and completing tasks for points.
In this webinar, you’ll learn best practices for creating engaging discussion board assignments and inspiring more dynamic and meaningful online learning experiences. We’ll also go over best practices for creating rubrics and grading your discussion board assignments based on what they are learning.

Strategies for Complex Skill Development
Training has a satisfactory set of options if your goal is information delivery or procedural training, but what about creating meaningful training for complex skill development or for the not-so-procedural problems that show up more and more in the workplace? What about creating learning for those situations where your SME can’t tell you what good performance looks like, except to say, “Well you know it when you see it”?
Frameworks from complexity science and the science of expertise development can help you diagnose these kinds of complex learning problems, and can help point to eLearning design strategies that can actually address and support complex skill development. You will learn how variables like frequency of use, tacitness or explicitness, and level of automaticity affect skill development. This session will address assessment strategies for complex learning as well.
