Have you ever had the experience of reading your end-of-semester student evaluations and found yourself surprised by the comments? You don’t have to wait until the end of the semester to find out how students feel the course is going! Gathering mid-semester feedback helps students feel like they are being heard and gives you useful information that allows you to make improvements and address concerns in the current class. In this webinar, we will discuss a variety of ways to gather mid-semester feedback including surveys, focus groups, and classroom assessment techniques, and respond to what your students say.
This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching@IUPUI. Designed for new faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and those looking for a refresher on good teaching practices, the webinars are short, with a brief presentation interspersed with opportunities for interaction and questions. Grounded in current research, the workshops address various teaching topics and provide participants with strategies and resources to make instruction more effective, efficient, and enjoyable. Sessions are scheduled with the time of semester in mind, to keep topics relevant for faculty needs at that time.
This event aligns with the following IUSM Academy of Teaching Scholars program competencies: Assessment Methods and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (A)

The 2020 Plater Institute on the Future of Learning will focus on classroom practices and campus experiences that support student mental health and well-being. Many faculty and staff members find themselves at a loss when they encounter students who are stressed or dealing with other mental health and well-being issues that negatively impact their success. The institute will bring together experts who will share strategies and resources that can help faculty and staff address these difficult situations. Dr. Bernice Pescosolido, Distinguished and Chancellor’s Professor of Sociology at Indiana University, will give a keynote address on College, Mental Health Issues, and Creating a Culture of Learning.

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.

Faculty who seek to refine and promote their teaching efforts may document their work through the development of a teaching portfolio, a site where faculty engage in reflective practice to measure the effectiveness of, and to refine, their teaching practices. This webinar introduces faculty to the teaching portfolio and to the several interrelated tasks that yield the teaching portfolio's elements: developing a teaching philosophy, identifying specific teaching practices to explore, document, and to improve, situating an identified teaching practices in an appropriate context, and collecting and evaluating evidence of teaching and learning.

Civic learning is a form of integrative learning that supports students, as citizens and professionals, for lives of informed and active participation in society. Arguably, civic learning is an untapped dimension of much of the teaching we do in universities. Too often, it lies dormant inside many of our most common learning goals such as critical thinking, communication, collaboration and quantitative reasoning skills.
Making our courses “civic-rich” can support students to explore and examine their experiences in light of larger public purposes, adding relevance to concepts that can feel very abstract. In addition, civic learning can be cultivated using a variety of high impact practices in the classoom and course. In this webinar, participants will be introduced to relevant frameworks and strategies to make civic learning visible in disciplinary and general education courses.

How well do you understand Fair Use? It may surprise you to learn that most faculty and graduate students are not properly applying the Fair Use Exemption when it comes to making decisions about how scholarship and various multimedia resources can be applied in their classes. If you would like to have a firmer understanding about Fair Use, this is the Webinar for you! We will discuss the common misconceptions that arise when individuals try to apply Fair Use, discuss the role of a framework analysis and how it can be implemented in making determinations of Fair Use Exemptions.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify pre-existing misconceptions on what the Fair Use exception is, what it is not, and how it can be used.
- Apply a Fair Use Analysis to several scenarios, developing a broader understanding of the nuance that undergirds the determination of a Fair Use Exception.
- Measure the framework of Fair Use Exception and judge if it best fits into your own unique instructional situations.
