SUMMARY:Keep On Teaching: Avoiding Burnout and Supporting Students (In-Person or Remotely)
DESCRIPTION:The challenge of engaging students has hit instructors hard in the last few years. Remote instruction left many students feeling stressed out and disconnected. Even as campuses have reopened\, instructors are still asking: How can I make class time more meaningful? And how can I support students without burning myself out?  This webinar\, organized by the Chronicle of Higher Education’s Teaching Newsletter\, will focus on how to recognize and mitigate instructor burnout and how to support students without overextending yourself.  Join us at the CTL to view the webinar together (note: there is a hybrid option\, but you’ll have to register for the webinar separately to watch it at home.) \nIf you are joining us in-person in Howe Library (room TBD) from 2-3 we’ll watch the webinar together \, and from 3-3:30\, we’ll talk together in response to what we heard. \nIf you’re interested in participating remotely:\n• sign up for the Chronicle Teaching newsletter (https://www.chronicle.com/account/newsletters)\n• in advance\, register for the Chronicle webinar (https://connect.chronicle.com/2023-02-10-Teaching-Session2.html)\n• participate in the Webinar at 2 pm on 2/10 from your own device and location\n•  at 3 pm on 2/10\, join us via the Teams link which you will receive the day prior \nAll registrants will receive a Teams calendar invitation prior to the discussion. The calendar invite will include a Teams link and a room number so that you can choose the modality that works for you.

SUMMARY:Why Assign 15 Pages When 5 Will Do? (Online Session)
DESCRIPTION:With their focus on quality over quantity\, shorter writing assignments increase student precision\, reduce fluff\, discourage procrastination\, and strengthen writing skills. When paired with in-class peer-review activities\, using sentence outlines\, and some limited coaching\, the result is stronger and shorter papers that allow you to spend less time grading and responding. During this virtual workshop\, we will look at these and other strategies to meet your assignment goals in fewer pages. Participants are welcome to bring one of their existing ‘long’ writing assignments. \nFacilitated by Ingrid Nelson\, Associate Professor of Geography & WID Faculty Associate \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

SUMMARY:Why Assign 15 Pages When 5 Will Do? (Online Session)
DESCRIPTION:With their focus on quality over quantity\, shorter writing assignments increase student precision\, reduce fluff\, discourage procrastination\, and strengthen writing skills. When paired with in-class peer-review activities\, using sentence outlines\, and some limited coaching\, the result is stronger and shorter papers that allow you to spend less time grading and responding. During this virtual workshop\, we will look at these and other strategies to meet your assignment goals in fewer pages. Participants are welcome to bring one of their existing ‘long’ writing assignments. \nFacilitated by Ingrid Nelson\, Associate Professor of Geography & WID Faculty Associate \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

SUMMARY:The Power of Transparent Assignment Design
DESCRIPTION:This workshop presents an overview of Transparency in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education (TILT)\, an award-winning\, scholarly project focused on improving students’ learning experiences. Evidence from a national study shows that when faculty implement small changes to enhance transparency to the design of even just two assignments\, there are statistically significant benefits for all students and even larger gains for first-generation students\, low-income students\, and students of color (Winkelmes et al.\, 2016). In this workshop\, we’ll share examples and a simple framework for transparent assignment design—Purpose\, Task\, Criteria. You’ll be able to start the groundwork to “TILT” two of your own assignments. \nFacilitated by  Susanmarie Harrington. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!

SUMMARY:iClicker Student Response System: Engaging Your Students in Their Own Learning
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, we discuss how teaching with the iClicker Student Response System can enhance student engagement and understanding\, especially in large enrollment courses. Faculty can now use the iClicker app to poll students and get instant feedback on whether students understand concepts presented during lecture and in pre-class readings. UVM has a site license for the iClicker Student App as of Fall 2021. \nThis workshop also covers the technical aspects of using iClicker Cloud\, the preferred instructor software for administering iClicker polls and grades. There will be opportunities for attendees to ask additional questions. iClicker Cloud supports a variety of question types\, and is entirely based in the cloud for easy administration. iClicker Cloud also supports hand-held iClicker remotes. \nFacilitated by Holly Buckland Parker. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.  If you click “accept\,” it will populate on your Teams calendar for easy access!
