Integrating Human Rights education into your curriculum by Dr. Mark Geary
Location: Zoom Online
Understanding of Human rights helps students situate events within a global context. One of the objectives on the course evaluations is "Developing knowledge and understanding of diverse perspectives, global awareness, of other cultures." Understanding human rights and how they were adopted gives students the understanding of a widely accepted set of principles that many nations have agreed to, at least in principle. Helping students to understand the tensions between rights can also help them understand diverse perspectives.
It would depend somewhat on the course being taught. EDFN 365 has a focus on developing digital citizenship (a ISTE Standard). Other courses might have different objectives that it would fit into, or they could use the IDEA objective mentioned above.
For example, as part of our Mars/technology/Minecraft activities, I ask my students to select which would be the three most important human rights to emphasize on a new Mars colony. The answers will vary, and the goal is to get students to engage in thinking about what would create a workable and just world, not just pick any three at random.
Another example might be: While reading “To Kill a Mockingbird”, select one or two human rights that were violated during the story. This can help students generalize from incidents to principles.
Benefits to the stakeholders as faculty would be another option for helping to raise student awareness of the way social justice issues have been or could be applied, within the context of IDEA goals or their individual course goals. The advantage for students is it could help them recognize patterns of repeating events, rather than seeing events as isolated incidents. For example, for our preservice teachers, there is always the issue of salary, which is connected to the right to education. However, there is a natural tension between that right and the right of land ownership, as the landowner's property taxes (needed to retain ownership) are required to fund the schools, in most cases.

Microlectures by Dr. Matthew Ingram
Location: Zoom Online
In an online learning environment, talking to the camera and recording a short microlecture can be an effective way to: (1) establish instructor presence, (2) engender (asynchronous) learning, and (3) help students feel tethered to a community of peer learners in an online course is to interact with your students via talking to the camera via a short microlecture (ACUE, 2020; Boettcher & Conrad, 2016; Nilson & Goodson, 2018; Scagnoli, Choo, & Tian, 2019). Microlectures are brief video or audio recorded videos (typically five to seven minutes) in which an instructor focuses narrowly on -or exploring a concept, skill, activity, or assignment (Scagnoli, 2012). Through ease of having access to the video, students can watch, engage, rewatch, and learn content in the course on their own time. In this CTL session, I will define microlectures while breaking down some misconceptions, provide resources with guides on creating microlectures, explore a sample microlecture, and share the value I’ve found in creating microlectures for my online and face-to-face students.

Tools for Meaningful Discussions in Online Learning
Viana Waldner
Location: Zoom Online
Class discussions are an essential component of higher education as they foster student connection, collaboration, and reflection. In an online class environment, however, it is more challenging to facilitate meaningful discussions among students. Factors to consider when creating online class discussions include determining when to use them, crafting worthwhile questions or prompts, and choosing an appropriate discussion platform. Beyond the limited D2L discussion board, tools such as Padlet, Insert Learning, and Flipgrid can elevate and innovate the typical class discussion.

Peer-to-Peer: 3 Games for Learning Classtools.net JeopardyLabs Webquests (done well) by Dr. Mark Geary
Dr. Mark Geary
Location: Zoom Online
This workshop will review three activities that use a game type or role-playing format to enhance learning. The first is Classtools.net, which has many activities on its site that can help teachers. This workshop will focus on the arcade game generator tool, which will show teachers how to help students go beyond flashcards to memorize content. The process of creating a game is fairly simple, with teachers creating a simple question*answer format, but saving the URL for future use can be a little tricky. The second tool is JeopardyLabs, an online version of Jeopardy where instructors can enter their course content as the question base. While this can be used as a stand-alone tool, I have used it mainly within classrooms, and students find it to be a fun and engaging review activity. Students can be divided into teams of two or three. The workshop will briefly cover how to sort content into categories but will also address how to manage the teams. The third activity will be WebQuests. This is an old web-based activity, so the renewed focus will be on helping students find quality sources and critically analyzing them, with a focus on mediating multiple perspectives. This will not be a scavenger hunt format, which sometimes appropriates the WebQuest title into a superficial format.

Peer-to-Peer: Make It Easy then Make It Stick like Do-Re-Mi with Julie Andrews
Dr. Nicky Khattapan
Location: Zoom Online
The first step of learning is to memorize the contents. Once we have them memorized, the ability to recall those contents and apply them according to the tasks is considered to be critical. Learning something the hard way implies a waste of time and effort while learning in a smart way is highly desirable. The lesson plans for good teaching should be creatively tailored to fit all learning styles and preferences of students and use strategies to make learning easier and more interesting. As stated, memory plays a key role in our ability to carry out complex cognitive tasks, such as applying knowledge to problems never before encountered, making judgments based on existing knowledge, or drawing conclusions. This workshop will cover the new way of learning and teaching, how to creatively challenge your students, how to determine the appropriate mode of instruction to match the nature of the subject, and how to select appropriate and challenging assessment methods. Once we make the content “easy” to “stick”, the knowledge can be recalled and applied like “Do-Re-Mi" with Julie Andrews from the Sound of Music! This workshop is based on the book “Make It Stick” by Peter Brown. Participants will have opportunities to participate in the workshop's active activities and possibly construct some new ideas for their class instruction. While the participants are not expected to sing “Do-Re-Mi" they are going to participate in a very active workshop where they will have to move around and discuss.

Crimson Hexagon: A Tool for Social Media Analytics
Location: TCB 109
According to Gohfar Khan, social media analytics is the “the art and science of extracting valuable hidden insights from vast amounts of semi-structured and unstructured social media data to enable informed and insightful decision making.” However, analyzing the wealth of social media data available has been hampered by the complexity of the techniques and algorithms used to harvest and analyze such data, as well as the ability to gin meaningful insight from what is sometime referred to as messy data. Tools such as Crimson-Hexagon are aiming to fill this gap. In this presentation, Dr. Omar El-Gayar will provide an overview of Crimson-Hexagon with an emphasis on social media analytics. DSU has a two-year subscription to this immense data base which can be an asset to anyone who seeks to leverage social media for research or teaching in health care, politics, consumer trends, and other contemporary topics.

Empowering Students to Achieve Their Goals in Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity
Location: TCB 109
Many of us train undergraduate students to complete independent research as part of our mission at the university, yet very little attention has historically been paid to best practices for training undergraduates in research, scholarship, and creative activity. We hope that this undergraduate mentoring workshop helps bridge this gap.
