Pedagogical Sound Bites: Working with Sources and Data–Teaching Information Literacy at UVM
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: Whether working with academic articles for a class, locating data for a research project, accessing news, or engaging on social media, our students all need to develop critical skills for locating, understanding, and using information. This workshop will address ways in which you can work with UVM librarians to integrate information literacy into your courses in any discipline and for any student level.
Pedagogical Sound Bites: Community Building (Registration closed)
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: This workshop presents an overview of strategies to build community in an online teaching environment. Whether you are teaching a fully online class, remote, or mixed, we will discuss simple ways to make the most of the technologies available to you and your students to build community.
Pedagogical Approaches: Transparent Assignment Design
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: 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.
CDE Event: Using the CDE Course Shell to Organize Your Blackboard Course Space
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: This event is developed and offered by UVM Continuing and Distance Education. This workshop will show you how to apply a starter structure of pre-packaged menu items and content areas. This method has been a valuable tool in helping faculty quickly build a course that’s intuitive for students. Regardless of what modality you’re teaching in, you’ll learn the nuts and bolts of how to add this structure to your course, how to efficiently move content into this format, and how this structure can benefit both you and students.
Technological Skill: Blackboard Basics and Grade Center (Registration Closed)
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: Blackboard provides space for you to post materials, communicate with students, provide assessments and other student activities, and enter grades to keep students on track. This session prepares participants to: Map out a course organizational structure that enhances a student’s ability to effectively use Blackboard; Articulate how one or more tools might align with your assignments and activities; Identify tools and features that you feel would be most useful to learn more about; Navigate the Grade Center and use it effectively.

Course Design Considerations for the MIXED Modality (Overview/Q&A)
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: This workshop pertains to teaching in the mixed modality and will be held remotely in Teams. A mixed modality course replaces 25-75% of in-person instruction with online contact hours. Some classes designated in this modality may have the majority of students in Burlington; other classes may be composed of students predominantly learning at home, remotely. Although the mixed modality places some constraints on how the course is delivered, you retain autonomy in how you design your courses to achieve your pedagogical goals.
Course Design Considerations for the REMOTE Modality (Overview/Q&A) (Registration Closed)
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: This workshop discusses key design choices for a fully remote course. We will discuss two models for a live streaming option in Teams for running remote classes and office hours.
Course Design Considerations for ONLINE (Overview/Q&A)
Microsoft Teams
Pivotal Pedagogy II: This fall, faculty will be teaching courses at UVM in multiple modalities, including fully online. This workshop discusses key design choices for a fully online course - 100% asynchronous, with no scheduled meeting times. Topics include designing for clarity, creating social and teaching presence, and strategies to keep students on track and engaged.
Pedagogical Approaches: Graduate Student Panel (Registration Closed)
