SUMMARY:Perusall: A Social Reader and Annotation Tool
DESCRIPTION:Perusall is a collaborative annotation tool that integrates with Blackboard (meaning no separate login is needed). Students can engage with a variety of course materials (readings\, videos\, podcasts\, websites\, student-generated documents)—in whole-class or in small groups—to collectively react\, question\, and discuss. \nPerusall has been shown to increase pre-class reading significantly (greater than 90% of students consistently complete readings in classes using this tool). The software generates a “confusion report” for instructors\, highlighting areas of the content that may warrant deeper in-class discussion\, as well as an instructor-facing analytics report that enables auto-grading of assignments. This workshop will blend an overview\, hands-on experience with the software\, and guidance for use. \nFacilitated by Jen Garrett-Ostermiller\, CTL Educational Developer. \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:Making Your Syllabus Work for You and Your Students
DESCRIPTION:A well-designed syllabus is more than a way to explain your course to students. A good syllabus thoughtfully connects your assignments\, activities\, and assessments to course goals\, thus preparing you for more effective and efficient grading through the semester. A good syllabus also supports students\, a matter we will consider through a lens of inclusion and equity.  During this workshop\, you’ll begin editing your syllabus and will leave with a plan for final revisions that use your new ideas about how the content and language of a syllabus can serve you and your students. \nDuring the first half\, our focus will be on how well your syllabus serves your core goals and makes explicit connections between those course goals and your other assignments and activities. By taking time now to solidify these connections using principles of backwards design\, you set yourself up for easier grading and responding later in the semester.  \nDuring the second half\, we’ll explore how your syllabus welcomes students\, whether it connects with students as the you had hoped\, how it can either demystify or complicate students understanding of the course and campus supports\, and how it serves student inclusion and equity. \nFacilitated by Susanmarie Harrington\, Center for Teaching and Learning & Writing in the Disciplines\, & Holly Buckland Parker\, Center for Teaching and Learning \nThis event is IN-PERSON. You will receive a reminder a day or two before the event.

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). \nIn 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 Jen Garrett-Ostermiller and 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:Using an Interactive Syllabus to Engage & Communicate with Students
DESCRIPTION:It can be difficult to make static documents\, such as syllabi\, feel motivating\, collaborative\, and developmental for students. “Interactive” syllabi can transform the way you not only share information with students but build relationships with them\, using a simple survey. \nTypically\, information is pushed out to students (“read the syllabus\,” “read the assignment instructions”). We sometimes do a quick check for knowledge (a syllabus quiz or a discussion for clarifying assignment instruction questions)\, but even these efforts can feel patronizing (“did you read the syllabus carefully?”) or underutilized (an occasional clarification question on a discussion). Interactive syllabi turn a previously transactional document into a guided conversation between the instructor and each individual student\, using warm\, cruelty-free\, and inviting language. During the workshop\, we’ll explore several options\, both thematically and technologically\, for using an interactive syllabus\, including starting from a template to reduce your workload. \nFacilitated by Jen Garrett-Ostermiller\, CTL Educational Developer. \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:Obtaining IRB Approval to Conduct SoTL Research
DESCRIPTION:SoTL raises some unique questions when it comes to the Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for research involving human subjects. Is your project “research” according to federal regulations\, or is it “curriculum quality improvement?” What are the implications of each of these designations for how you approach your project? What special measures must be taken to protect the rights of student research participants who will be graded by the researcher? These and related questions will be answered during this session\, which will be led by Dr. Ted Marcy\, IRB Chair of the Committee on Human Research in the Behavioral and Social Sciences. The session will provide information that you can use to adequately protect the rights of students as research participants\, apply for the appropriate study designation from the IRB\, and obtain IRB approval in a timely manner.  \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:Tips for Conducting a Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) Literature Review
DESCRIPTION:Navigating literature in the field of education can be tricky. Educational terminology changes constantly\, search tools require unique strategies\, and Scholarship of Teaching and Learning topics sometimes require searching in areas not previously considered.  This session will provide tips and strategies for navigating educational literature in preparation for a SoTL project. The session will be led by Dan DeSanto\, Library Associate Professor\, who will provide an introduction to searching with the ERIC database as well as other tools to begin SOTL literature review work. To help jumpstart searching\, participants will be afforded search time with their own topics of interest and will leave with a plan for moving forward with their literature search.  \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.

SUMMARY:The National Survey of Student Engagement: Using UVM Student Data To Inform Teaching
DESCRIPTION:UVM has administered the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) every three years since 2005\, but the survey and its data have not previously been shared in faculty-to-faculty conversations about teaching practices. We at the CTL feel that student responses could prove useful for guiding programming to support faculty development. The role of this session is to introduce faculty to the survey and most recent set of findings in order to gather initial impressions of the data and its potential uses for faculty. Please join us at one of these sessions to learn more about NSSE and give us your thoughts! \nFacilitated by Laura Almstead\, Eva Cosoroaba\, Mary Burke\, and Wendy Berenback. \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:SoTL Research Designs and Methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Do you have a question about your teaching or students’ learning that you would like to investigate but are unsure of how to approach the research? Rest assured\, you are not alone. Faculty members come to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) from diverse disciplines with disparate kinds of research training. Therefore\, many aspiring SoTL researchers are unfamiliar with the educational research methods that are available to them to help answer their questions about teaching and learning. This session will provide an overview of the most common methodologies\, including non-western methods used in SoTL research. Anyone interested in learning more about educational research methods that can be used to answer pressing questions about teaching and learning is encouraged to attend. (It is a good idea to attend the Introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning workshop first.)  \nFacilitated by Holly Buckland Parker and Lizzy Pope.  \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning
DESCRIPTION:Do you ever wonder if changes to instruction or pedagogy are making a difference? Are you curious about how students approach complex assignments outside of class? Do you want to know what would increase student engagement in your class? If you answered yes to any of these questions\, you may be interested in the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL)\, which is an increasingly popular approach to using your classroom to answer questions about your own teaching and learning techniques. \nThis workshop introduces participants to the basics of SoTL research. Opportunities for doing SoTL at the University of Vermont will be discussed. Anyone who is curious to learn more about SoTL is encouraged to attend. \nFacilitated by Holly Buckland Parker and Lizzy Pope. \nYou will receive a Microsoft Teams calendar invitation the afternoon prior to your event explaining how to join and participate in the meeting.

SUMMARY:Why Assign 15 Pages When 5 Will Do?
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!
