The Profiles of Learning for Undergraduate Success, our new institutional undergraduate learning outcomes, have replaced the Principles of Undergraduate Learning (PULs) and Principles of Co-Curricular Learning (PCLs). They are written with an active orientation, using student-facing language, and are applicable to all student-facing units. Administrators of all undergraduate programs, and instructors of general education courses and capstone courses, are expected to be among the first to map their learning outcomes to the profiles.
In this hands-on workshop, facilitators will provide a brief overview of the profiles, share examples of academic and co-curricular programs and courses that already have been mapped, and introduce tools, resources, and processes that participants can use to map their own learning outcomes. Participants are expected to bring copies of or have access to their own learning outcomes during the workshop so they can begin to map their program or course learning outcomes to the profiles. Ample time will be given for participants to engage in discussion and ask questions.

As IUPUI continues the process of reviewing general education courses, course coordinators or faculty responsible for preparing course dossiers for review may have questions about the information and materials that need to go into the dossiers. This webinar will provide an overview of the course review process, course dossier requirements, and the rubric that will be used to review the course dossiers. It will also introduce a new option for preparing a simplified course dossier based on using a Mile Marker assignment. Examples from existing course dossiers will be incorporated into the webinar. Questions and discussion will be encouraged.

This workshop introduces faculty and staff to the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric and to the QM Process. Quality Matters is a nationally recognized quality assurance organization for online course design, and the QM Process is a faculty-led peer review process that uses the research-based standards (criteria) of the QM Rubric to certify online courses. Eventually, many online courses within the IU system will undergo the QM Process with the goal of achieving national QM recognition. Faculty may also use the QM Rubric as a guide to design online courses. And, for faculty who are interested, this course serves as a pre-requisite for QM's Peer Reviewer Course, which is a required course for faculty who seek certification as a QM Peer Reviewer, allowing them to participate in QM course reviews for courses created here at IU and at other universities.
The workshop is offered at IUPUI as a one-day synchronous Zoom workshop from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.with a one hour break for lunch. To receive the QM certificate of completion for this workshop, participants must be present for and participate in the entire workshop.

Online May 15th through July 20th | The Bootcamp is a fully online interactive course in Canvas.
Register » Organizer: Jeani Young and Presenters: Susan Hathaway, Sally Jamerson, Andi Strackeljahn, and Jeani Young
Are you responsible for creating a new fully online course or revising an existing one?
Will you be teaching that course in the next academic year?
If you answered "yes" to both of those questions, the Online Course Design and Development Bootcamp may be for you. The Bootcamp is an 8-week intensive, interactive online course offered by the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning. It provides
-
a structured introduction to online course design theory, research, and practice, including visual design, accessibility, usability, and media use and development.
-
weekly assignments where you will create parts of your asynchronous online course and share them with facilitators and peers for feedback and discussion.
-
the experience of being an online student in an interactive, asynchronous, online course.
Participants are expected to make active progress on their course development every week. Previous participants report spending at least 6-7 hours each week working with Bootcamp materials, interacting with other faculty participants, and developing their online course. Course activity occurs throughout the week so you will need to check in regularly.
The Final Project is due the week after the end of the Bootcamp. The Final Project includes a welcoming, usable, and accessible Canvas course site complete with your course structure, student orientation/getting started information, syllabus, and at least 1 week of your course assignments, instruction, and content plus your plan for completing your course development.
Participants who successfully complete the Bootcamp will earn the Designing an Online Course badge from the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning.
Frequently Asked Questions:
About me and my course
-
Do I need to be full-time faculty? No, adjunct faculty are welcome to participate! You do need to have the approval of your department to develop or revise an online course. The Bootcamp isn't appropriate for teaching assistants.
-
Do I need to have a real course or can I just make a hypothetical course? You do need to be working on a real course that you will teach within the next academic year. A participant creating a hypothetical course takes a seat from someone with a hard deadline for their course development. If you're interested in a general overview of online course design and development, you may find the Teaching Online Series helpful.
-
Does it have to be a fully asychronous online course? Your course does need to be a fully online course with no required live meetings (exceptions being an orientation meeting or final presentation/exam meeting). If you have a hybrid course with 1-4 required meetings a month (either in-person on via video conferencing), please feel free to contact the Center for Teaching and Learning to schedule a consultation and we'll be happy to help you individually. If you have a flipped class, please see the Flipped Class Bootcamp on the CTL event calendar.
-
What if I have a non-facilitated or self-paced training course? Much of the Bootcamp is focused on designing for interaction between students and between students and the instructor. If you have a non-facilitated or self-paced training course, please feel free to contact the Center for Teaching and Learning and schedule a consultation and we'll be happy to help you individually.
About the Bootcamp
-
Are there any in-person meetings required? There are no in-person meetings. There will be 3 optional video conference meetings which will be recorded for those that cannot attend.
-
Do I need any special equipment? Yes, you will need regular access to a webcam and a microphone (preferably a headset style mic) and a computer running either Windows 10 or a Mac OS Sierra or more recent. Older computers have compatibility issues and normally do not have the processing power to record and work with multimedia.

In-person meetings 10am-Noon on 5/21, 5/23, 5/28, and 5/30 | Meeting Room TBD, prework on Canvas
Register » Organizer: Jeani Young and Presenters: Jessica Alexander, Douglas Jerolimov, Kimmaree Murday, and Jeani Young
Participants must commit to participating in all 4 class meetings.
Flipped class [n]: a class where most or all of the direct instruction (lecture, demonstration, etc.) is moved out of the physical classroom to the online classroom and in-class time is used for interactive learning activities . Students still attend all class meetings; there is no reduction in in-person time, as there would be in a hybrid/blended class.
Do you use more class time for lecture than you'd like? Are you interested in getting your students actively participating in class? Do you want to try flipping some of your class sessions but you're not sure where to start? Join us for a 4-session bootcamp and jump start your progress!
During these 4 sessions, you'll learn about and practice with a variety of content creation tools to shift your content presentation out of your classroom and a variety of active learning strategies to optimize your newly available classroom time. Specific topics include classroom technology to support active learning, encouraging active participation, collaborative and cooperative learning, video and audio creation, more effective presentation slides, student motivation, and structuring your class in Canvas.
The Bootcamp is structured as a flipped class so you experience being a student in the style of course you are developing. There will be pre-work in Canvas required for each of the 4 meetings as well as assignments that require you to develop parts of your course. Participants should expect to spend 8 total hours in class and at least 3-4 hours between class sessions on pre-work and developing parts of your course.Participants interested in earning a Flipped Class Development badge from the IUPUI Center for Teaching and Learning may submit a final project consisting of the pre-work and classroom activity plans for two consecutive flipped class sessions.

Do I need any special equipment? You will need regular access to a webcam, a microphone, and a computer running either Windows 10 or Mac OS Sierra (or more recent). This is a bring-your-own-device (BYOD) class so, if possible, please bring a laptop for at least the 10/23 and 11/22 class meetings. We will be working with media and it is best do that on your own computer so you are comfortable with your set up and we can identify any technical issues up front. If you do not have or have access to a laptop please let us know as soon as possible.

What if I can't come to all 4 meetings? If you cannot attend all four of the in-person sessions please wait and register for the Bootcamp next summer. If you would only miss part of one session, email us and we'll put you on the waitlist. If the Bootcamp doesn't fill with people who can attend all of all the sessions, we will move the waitlisted people into the class as space allows.
