Best Practices for the Design, Delivery, and Student Success When Teaching Online Courses

https://learn.nisod.org/item/best-practices-design-delivery-student-success-teaching-onlin...

Online

Now more than ever, students are choosing to take their courses online, often enticed by access, flexibility, and the desire to continue their studies while working and raising families. As institutions and individual faculty members, we can collectively respond to this trend with well-designed courses that are delivered in engaging ways and that leverage evidence-based pedagogies for the virtual learning environment. During this workshop, specific approaches to structuring online courses that align with best practices for quality online teaching are shared. These approaches traverse Learning Management Systems such as Canvas, Blackboard, and D2L. Through hands-on activities, participants are exposed to examples and models that highlight several relevant and engaging delivery methods. The workshop ends with a summary of the next steps via an action plan that details what faculty can specifically do to develop their online courses.

By the end of this workshop, participants know or will be able to:

  • Develop a strong, foundational understanding of best practices for the design and delivery of online courses.
  • Explore various best practices and exemplars related to course activities, assignments, and assessments for the online environment to adopt in their classrooms.
  • Construct course elements in their institution's Learning Management System and complete an action plan outlining the next steps for course development.

GIS Workshop: Visualizing and Analyzing Health Data

https://www.geotechcenter.org/monthly-calendar.html

(2 days)

Online

This two-day intensive course aims to introduce participants to the fundamentals of data visualization using the open-source QGIS program and building towards the introduction of foundational spatially-centered approaches to identifying relationships and associations among population and environmental variables. Led by Dr. Jeremy R. Porter and Dr. Joel Capellan two of the highest-rated teachers at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and the authors of many celebrated geospatial analysis publications and books, this workshop will integrate lectures with hands-on application. The workshop emphasizes the use of open-source software packages and publicly available environmental and demographic data as an example of potential applications of these data with spatially centered visualization and analytic techniques.  The workshop is comprised of 4 components 1) visualization, 2) geo-processing, 3) cluster analysis, and 4) relationship identification.  Within each component, a lecture is followed by an opportunity to put the methods learned into practice.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be familiar with the following topics:

  • Principles of data visualization and analysis
  • Sources and techniques for the acquisition and management of spatial data
  • Methods and techniques for the visualization of spatial data
  • Techniques for the identification of statistical spatial (and spatio-temporal) clusters
  • Techniques for the incorporation of spatial information in more traditional regression methods of association and relationship identification among variables.
  • Investigators at all career stages are welcome to attend, and we particularly encourage trainees, students, and early-stage investigators to participate.

Envisioning the Next Bioscience Workforce: A Summit of Industry, Academic, and Government Leaders

https://innovatebio.org/event/envisioning-the-next-bioscience-workforce-a-summit-of-indust...

(2 days)

National Academy of Sciences500 Fifth St., N.W.WashtingtonDC20001

This summit will draw together thought and opinion leaders to consider how to develop a workforce that will maintain US leadership in all phases of bioscience endeavor. Vision speakers will forecast the near future of biopharmaceuticals, biomedical devices, bioprocessing, bioengineering, synthetic biology, food production, and workforce education. State team discussions on the second day will then explore how academia, industry, and government can work together to develop the human resources needed to capitalize on these emerging technologies over the next five years. Each summit participant will be asked to consider, “What can I do to foster the development of the future bioscience workforce, and how can I better collaborate with other bioscience leaders?” Prior to the event, a “journey to the summit” will interview leaders and hiring authorities at more than 100 companies to gain a variety of perspectives on current bioscience workforce needs.  Attendance in the Vision Conference is by registration; participation in State Team discussions is by invitation only.

Evaluation Essentials for Non-Evaluators: Understanding the Basics and Benefits of Evaluation

https://my.demio.com/ref/JWo0KXA5XdZF7dLI

Online

Submitting a proposal to the National Science Foundation Advanced Technical Education (ATE) program can be overwhelming. One of the many proposal requirements involves submitting a detailed evaluation plan of your project activities. This webinar is designed for project PIs, staff, grants professionals, and other non-evaluators new to evaluation or those who want a basic refresher. Presenters will cover the fundamental concepts of what evaluation is, why it is important, and how it can benefit your project. In addition, presenters will share practical strategies for finding and selecting an evaluator for your proposal, including what to do if your institution doesn’t allow the selection of an evaluator before your grant is awarded. While this webinar is geared towards those submitting NSF ATE proposals, the content will benefit those submitting proposals in other NSF programs or STEM education contexts. Bring any and all questions about evaluation!

How to Utilize AR/VR and Distance Education for Microelectronics, Nanotechnology, Semiconductor Tech

https://micronanoeducation.org/event/how-to-utilize-ar-vr-and-distance-education-for-micro...

Online

Join Dr. Rick Vaughn in this professional development workshop on June 30, 2023. Dr. Vaughn will engage participants in creative ways to utilize existing resources throughout the MNT-EC community to enable Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality (AR/VR) and hybrid delivery of MNT and semiconductor educational modules, regardless of educational level or location.

Rio Salado College has a mission to “reinvent the learning experience”. Founded as the “College without Walls”, they were one of the first Community Colleges to meet the students where they are rather than have the students come regularly to the College. Often, this hybrid delivery is online, but for technician programs they have developed ways to use a variety of resources to ensure high quality hands-on instruction and labs when it is necessary to do so.
