Fall 2023 Talk 188体育app_188体育在线-平台官网 Teaching Workshops
| Abstract |
As instructors, our first response to AI tools like ChatGPT in the Fall of 2022 was to explore ways to detect and mitigate the improper use of the technology. Detection is not a feasible strategy. Mitigation can work, but we should consider how we can leverage the technology to add value to our teaching and learning. Students will need these skills with AI tools as they move into the workforce. ?In this session, we’ll review several of the generative AI tools available, and we’ll explore how AI can be applied to experiential and authentic learning, engagement, collaboration, content review, ideation, and copy editing, among other strategies. |

| Abstract |
For several years now higher education has been discussing the struggles students are experiencing that can impact their ability to engage fully in learning and be successful and the role faculty can have in supporting them. Research shows that faculty want to assist but don’t always know the best way to do this while maintain academic challenge. In addition, there has been increasing concern about the well-being of faculty as they navigate this role in addition to expectations/responsibilities.? This session will:

I let AI make me a video! by Mike McIntire, February 15 (CEITL Media - 6 min.)
Using ChatGPT, Reals.ai and free Royalty-Free images I made a video on the KC-4 Tanker. These tools all show some potential when used in a manner that is transparent, and as a tool in your toolbox. To be continued: Fact Checking and fiddling. Can we work this video into an entertaining piece? Do we need to do some fact checking to ensure the content is factual?

ABSTRACT: It can be helpful to assess your students’ incoming levels of prior knowledge at the start of your course. A pre-assessment (also known as a background knowledge probe) can be used to gauge levels in relevant background knowledge. Pairing a pre-assessment with a post-assessment can also enable you to assess students’ acquired knowledge during your course.
This Workshop will help you to determine what type of pre-assessment is appropriate for your course and offers considerations of whether implementing a post-assessment can provide insight into student learning in your course.

ABSTRACT:? As noted in Nilsson’s 2016 Teaching at Its Best:? A Research Based Resource for College Instructors, an overwhelming amount of evidence supports group learning over individual learning, with group discussion noted to promote development of essential skills such as critical thinking, active listening, the ability to achieve “deep conceptual learning” (p. 155), and synthesis of ideas, to name a few.? In this session, we will explore strategies to establish a learning environment conducive to enhancing student motivation, participation, and engagement in discussion.? Methods to utilize small to large group discussion in optimizing engagement and learning are explored, with explicit recommendations offered to effectively manage and promote discussion in the learning environment.
Learning Objectives:? By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify first day activities to set expectations, increase motivation, and promote civility and comfort within the classroom.
- Discuss methods to “prime the pump” for optimal discussion and engagement.
- Describe effective strategies utilizing small group activity to promote productive discussion and learning.

ABSTRACT: How much do your students engage with assigned readings, videos, and other tasks? What can instructors do to help students manage the course workload in your class with Canvas features??In this session, we will first discuss the Canvas New Analytics tool, which collects and analyzes student usage patterns, such as log-in information, participation in course activities, and grades. One of the most common uses of New Analytics is to identify students who are not doing well academically, so that you can make targeted interventions. Using New Analytics to track data like this can be very helpful in large classes.??
Next, we will examine other Canvas features that benefit students and teachers. With those features, students can easily see what they need to do in your course, and instructors can reduce the need for reminders and minimize the number of students who miss or skip necessary tasks.

ABSTRACT: As an instructor at UNH, you likely have experience creating Canvas courses. Importantly, when creating these resources, they should be accessible for a wide range of different students. When spaces are accessible, students are able to effectively “acquire the same information, engage in the same interactions, and enjoy the same services”( https://www.ada.gov/kindle_ltr_eddoj.htm). In other words, accessible classrooms are those in which all students have the opportunity to learn and participate.
The purpose of this presentation is to provide practical tips and guidance for creating accessible Canvas courses. We will talk more about some of the key considerations (accessible materials, captions, designing pages, etc.), and provide some tips for how to get started.

ABSTRACT: Data literacy is an important set of competencies in part because of the quality and quantity of data that students encounter; they need to have the ability to critically evaluate data, methods, and claims. While teaching with data can be rewarding, it can also be challenging.?
In this session we will:
- Review findings and recommendations from a study of the pedagogical practices of social science instructors who teach using quantitative data in undergraduate courses.?
- Share local practices and challenges of using data in undergraduate instruction in the social sciences at UNH.?
- Discuss current support in this area and seek your input on opportunities to create additional supports for instructors and students that could improve student learning outcomes.?

ABSTRACT: ICAP, developed by?Michelene T. H. Chi??and colleagues,?is an evidence-based, instructional approach centering on two kinds of student engagement (physical and cognitive) and comprises four ‘modes’ of behavioral engagement (passive;?active; constructive; interactive). Together, this approach provides a set of heuristics to help guide instructors to incorporate and learning strategies that are appropriate for their learning goals and objectives. Arrive at this event with your course learning objectives in mind. Reflect on the kinds of learning activities you currently have in place and consider how you might adapt/modify them (or develop new activities) to increase their compatibility with your learning objectives and desired outcomes.

ABSTRACT: Feedback can be a powerful tool to facilitate student learning and achievement; however, some types and circumstances of feedback are more effective than others. This workshop will explore the notion of feedback as a psychological process. Beginning with the students’ perspective, we will consider student course learning goals, where the student is in relation to those goals, and where to expect the next step – that is, where the student will be heading. Moving forward, we will examine the role of feedback as students move from novice to mastery, immediate versus delayed feedback, and positive versus negative feedback and the place of errors.

FACILITATOR: Catherine Overson, Director, CEITL
ABSTRACT: Providing prompt and targeted feedback is important for student learning, both in the classroom and online. In fact, some research has indicated that feedback can double the rate of learning for students. In this interactive session, participants will explore the use of technology (particularly tools in Canvas) to facilitate feedback on student work. Participants will examine Canvas speedgrader, markup tools, grading rubrics, and the use of media for feedback.?As a group, we will discuss best practices and research notes on the effective uses of these tools.

Time:?12:40pm – 2:00pm?
How do we effectively educate a generation of changemakers, young people who are both educated about global sustainability challenges, and who also have the capabilities, courage and confidence to contribute to meaningful solutions. Gen Z, our current generation of students, are acutely aware of the significant intersecting crises facing our world, including the climate crisis. The Covid-19 crisis has also made even more transparent the fundamental inequalities among our fellow human beings, particularly the stark reality that the most marginalized people in our society are disproportionately vulnerable, and these inequalities will only be exacerbated in the coming years as the climate crisis deepens. Luckily, studies of Gen Z show that this is a generation of students interested in engaging and they see themselves as leaders who will help address the world’s biggest environmental and social challenges. Not surprisingly students are looking for an education that aligns with their goals and interests.
This workshop will highlight several different frameworks and tools for incorporating sustainability into course curriculum, including the Sustainability Education Goals framework developed at UNH and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This session will highlight resources and support available to you as UNH faculty from the UNH Sustainability Institute team. This workshop will also serve as the 1st session for a recently developed year-long Faculty Learning Community on Teaching Sustainability for anyone interested in continuing.

Supporting Students with Mental Health Concerns: Practical Strategies for More Inclusive Classrooms?
It is estimated that as many as 25% of college students suffer from mental health concerns. This means that as a faculty member you have likely had a range of students with mental health conditions in your classes. Given the prevalence of mental health conditions within higher education, it is therefore important to think beyond addressing these needs through accommodations alone. It is critical that faculty proactively incorporate practices that foster student well-being in their instructional efforts.
Within this presentation, we will review practical strategies that you can use to create classrooms that are inclusive for students with mental health conditions and supportive of their well-being. We will look at some high impact practices and strategies you can build into your classroom to, ultimately, benefit all learners.

Promoting Active Learning: Strategies to Engage Our Students with Effective Class Lectures and Group Discussions
It is important that we, as educators, strive to create an engaging educational environment for our students. Even large class sections, or courses that are heavily lecture-based, can benefit from instruction that promotes active learning.?
How can we promote active learning in the college classroom? How can we keep our students engaged in the learning process??
In this session, we will reflect on techniques that promote active learning, guided by strategies outlined in ACUE’s (The Association of College and University Educators) Course on Effective Teaching Practices for UNH. Such strategies emphasize the need for effective lectures and interactive group discussions. We will discuss methods for implementing such techniques in our courses, as well as how to evaluate and assess which strategies are best suited for our individual classroom environments.?

Feedback can be a powerful tool to facilitate student learning and achievement; however, some types and circumstances of feedback are more effective than others. This workshop explored the notion of feedback as a psychological process. Beginning with the students’ perspective, we considered student course learning goals, where the student is in relation to those goals, and where to expect the next step – that is, where the student will be heading.

The [Student] Cognition Toolbox: How You Can Help Students Boost Academic Performance, and How Students Can Help Themselves
CEITL Participation: 1 point
Memorial Union Building (MUB)?Room 162
Cognitively-based study strategies promote student learning in academic courses, but many students are unaware that some strategies produce better learning outcomes than others; moreover, students often use strategies that can hinder their learning. In the fall of 2019, CEITL launched the Student Cognition Toolbox (SCT); a set of online instructional materials that will teach students cognitively-supported effective and efficient study strategies. A distinctive feature of the SCT is that lessons will include a practice component that will assist students in mastery of that strategy. Our modules cover a wide-range of study strategies, for example: elaborative interrogation, self-explanation, retrieval practice (practice quizzing), worked examples, spacing and interleaving of practice.
In this workshop, we described and demonstrated the SCT, which, delivered through the Carnegie Mellon University Open Learning Initiative platform, can be accessed through Canvas. This session demonstrated how you can incorporate the SCT into your courses, and how the SCT will teach students study skills that are appropriate for your learning outcomes.

Fall 2018 Workshop
Teaching international students: Are you ready? Strategies for new and experienced faculty
Presenters: Nancy Sell and Rachel Lachance, ESL Institute
Event Date: September 27, 2018
In collaboration with the Office of International Students and Scholars and UNH Global Student Success Program (GSSP)
Acknowledging the increase of multilingual, international students in the University and the potential challenges that might arise due to such an increase, Center for Excellence and Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CEITL) presents a series of three workshops on aspects of teaching international students across UNH.
In this workshop, background data and current trends regarding international students on college campuses (with a focus on UNH) are presented as a backdrop to potential obstacles and aspects of academic culture that multilingual students often encounter. Workshop facilitators discuss pedagogical approaches and offer solutions to potential cultural misunderstandings and classroom challenges through the use of representative case studies.

Some common classroom challenges and strategies to address them
Explore the complete presentation
Workshop participants are discussing strategies to respond to one of the common classroom challenges: It is the second week of class and you notice a student in the second row who is constantly typing on his phone throughout your lecture. At the end of class, you stop the student on his way out and reiterate your cell phone policy. The student struggles to tell you that he was using his dictionary to look up unknown words on the PowerPoint presentation. Should you allow the student to continue to use his cell phone? How could you help the student?
