High Impact Engaged Teaching Practices for Blended/Online Instruction Thursday, June 25, 2020 Central to the liberal arts experience is a student-centered classroom experience where learning is an interactive process. The classroom is an environment in which students are encouraged to question assumptions and conclusions, analyze texts and derive their own interpretations, debate and role play, and to learn from one another. This workshop focuses on reimagining these foundational practices with the blended or online classroom in mind. What opportunities does the connected classroom offer? What strategies keep students active and engaged without meeting face to face? How can we translate some of our tried and true practices into a virtual terrain? Please click here to register.

Responding to Student Writing Online Tuesday, June 23, 2020 Responding to student writing is integral to our liberal arts practice. What are the challenges of doing this in a remote instructional setting? What opportunities does the remote setting present to change our practices?

Assignments and Assessments for the Connected Learning Environment Monday, June 22, 2020 This workshop explores an assignment-centered approach to course design, placing an emphasis on what students will learn over what content the instructor will cover. Beginning with the learning outcomes specific to our courses and disciplines, we will work to map out the activities and experiences students will need to have in order to learn the information necessary to succeed on formal (graded) assignments and assessments. With the blended or connected classroom in mind, we will explore a range of ways to scaffold activities synchronously and asynchronously, planning backwards so that feedback and grading practices are transparent and ascertain what students have really learned.

Strategies for Digital Citizenship and Etiquette Thursday, June 11, 2020 Connected learning environments call for new ways of thinking about classroom conduct. Is it okay to ask students to turn on their cameras? What do you do about “lurking” (being logged on with no camera or sound)? What does participation mean online and how can it be assessed? How do you support students with fewer resources or connectivity issues? In this workshop, participants will look at best practices and begin to develop a statement on classroom conduct that can be used in online and blended syllabi. Please click here to register.

Rethinking Classes as Connected: Translating Syllabi to go Online Monday, June 8, 2020 In this workshop, faculty will reflect on their rapid online learning curve and work toward designing a course to be online or blended from its inception, rather than as an emergency response. We invite faculty to come to this workshop with an existing syllabus intended for in-person teaching, ideally for a course to be taught in the summer or fall. Together we will write and discuss the purpose syllabi serve in our courses and the information they provide students regarding what and how they will learn. We will then identify concrete ways syllabi need to change when adapted to blended or online courses. Through generative writing and small group discussion, participants will annotate, edit and reshape their syllabus, producing an outline for an online or blended version of their course by the end of the workshop.

Cohort and Community Building in Connected Learning Environments Tuesday, June 2, 2020 This workshop invites participants to consider how to plan upcoming blended and connected courses with cohort and community building in mind. Together we will consider ways to engage students so that they develop relationships with one another, regardless of whether or not they ever get the chance to meet face to face. Some of the questions we’ll consider include: How do we intentionally design moments for students to connect authentically with each other? How do we humanize an online learning environment?

Designing Online Course Modules Monday, May 25, 2020 Designing online class sessions means thinking differently about expectations, assignments, and assessments.

Maria Sachiko Cecire, Associate Professor of Literature and Director of the Center for Experimental Humanities Gabriel Perron, Assistant Professor of Biology
This session will talk faculty through the collection of low-tech assignment ideas that the Center for Experimental Humanities has developed for use during the COVID-19 pandemic, available here: eh.bard.edu/covid-19. The session will begin with an introduction to the collection, which includes asynchronous and synchronous assignments that students can do on their own, in groups, and with members of their local communities as part of courses in a wide array of fields and subject areas. Professors Cecire and Perron will then hold a Q&A to help colleagues think through how they might integrate, modify, and contextualize such assignments in their various courses.
