Edward C. Moore Symposium on Teaching Excellence
Friday, March 2 | Campus Center 450 | 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
Register » | EC Moore Website»
The 2012 Edward C. Moore Symposium on Teaching Excellence is scheduled for Friday, March 2 from 8:30am-4pm at the IUPUI Campus Center. The Edward C. Moore Symposium on Teaching Excellence is one of IUPUI's oldest public events, dating from the years of IUPUI's inception. Named in honor of Edward C. Moore, former dean of the faculties, the symposium brings the higher education community together to examine the various instructional strategies that encourage student learning.
This year’s keynote speaker is Michael Wesch, Coffman Chair for University Distinguished Teaching Scholars and associate professor of cultural anthropology, Kansas State University. Wesch, dubbed "the explainer" by Wired magazine, is a cultural anthropologist exploring the effects of new media on society and culture. After two years studying the implications of writing on a remote indigenous culture in the rain forest of Papua New Guinea, he has turned his attention to the effects of social media and digital technology on global society. Wesch has won several major awards for his work, including a Wired Magazine Rave Award, the John Culkin Award for Outstanding Praxis in Media Ecology, and he was recently named an Emerging Explorer by National Geographic.
He has also won several teaching awards, including the 2008 CASE/Carnegie U.S. Professor of the Year for Doctoral and Research Universities. His keynote titled “The End of Wonder in the Age of Whatever” will explore how in an age where technology presents us with a variety of opportunity for connection, creativity, collaboration and knowledge creation but in which people feel increasingly disconnected, disempowered, turned out and alienated, faculty can inspire students to harness and leverage the possibility around us.
Bob Bringle, Chancellor’s Professor of Psychology and Philanthropic Studies and executive director Center for Service and Learning will provide this year’s plenary presentation. Bringle, recipient of the 2011 Chancellor’s Award for Excellence in Teaching, will present his views on how service learning, along with other powerful pedagogies, can improve instruction.
To register visit www.ctl.iupui.edu or contact the Center for Teaching and Learning at 317-274-1300.
The symposium is co-sponsored by:

Integrating Video Reflection - A Four Part Series
Reflection is an integral part of experiential and service learning pedagogies; however, too often instructors limit their use of reflection to traditional methods (i.e. journaling, directed writings, minute papers, etc). The purpose of this workshop series is to illustrate the value in video-based reflection as an alternative mode to structure reflection, engage a wider variety of learners, as well as, foster the development of reflective practice and documentation of student learning. [more….]
Part 1: Structuring Reflection Assignments Using Video - A Conceptual Introduction
Friday, February 10 | BS 2010 | 9 - 10:30 a.m.
Common practice with regard to reflection relies heavily on written methods (various forms of journaling, directed writings, minute papers, etc). In this session, participants will consider the value of doing video-based reflections as an alternate mode of reflection. Participants will explore the best practices of using video to illustrate and document powerful experiences. As part of this session, we'll also provide an overview of upcoming sessions in the series.
Part 2: Get Ready: Camera Operations, Audio, and Composition Friday, February 24 | UL 1130 - 9 | 11:00 a.m.
In this session, we will demonstrate digital video recording devices, how to work with audio files, and how to think about and approach composition (visual and scripting) and give faculty an opportunity to practice recording their own content.
Part 3: Video Editing for Beginners
Friday, March 9 | UL 1125 | 9 - 10:30 a.m.
Session participants will use the video they created and be guided through the video editing process using the most basic tools as well as programs for more advanced users. Once created, we will provide options for long term storage of the videos as well as how to make them accessible to others. Participants will come away with a video they published to be used as a model for their course and at the Civic Engagement Showcase on April 24 th, 2012 if they choose to share.
Part 4: Video Showcase and Assessing Oral Reflection
Friday, April 13 | BS 2010 | 9 - 10:30 a.m.
Participants will be invited to share the video they created as a result of their participation in the series of workshops. Then, we will help participants develop an assessment strategy to assess the student learning as evidenced in the videos, which is tied to course objectives. Facilitators will guide participants through a series of questions to help participants integrate video reflection in their course including guidance and develop a realistic timeline for completion to integrate into a syllabus.
