How do we make sure there is equity in our classrooms when discussing issues of race, class, gender, disability, religion, and sexuality (among others)?  This workshop will ask you to self-reflect on your reactions to such discussions, as well as offer new ways to think about power dynamics between students, and between students and instructors  We’ll also learn about multipartiality, and the ways in which it can fundamentally change inequities in the classroom. 

Catherine Denial is the Bright Distinguished Professor of American History, chair of the history department, and director of the Bright Institute at Knox College.

8:30 am – 11:30 am EDT/GMT-4
The OSUN Connected Learning Working Group is pleased to offer a series of workshops designed to support faculty as we plan and prepare for Summer and Fall 2020 courses with blended and connected learning environments in mind. These workshops are not webinars—they are intended to be small, seminar-style, interactive sessions and require one’s full attention and participation. Please visit osun.bard.edu/faculty-resources for the full workshop schedule.

All workshops will begin at 8:30AM (NY) / 2:30PM (Berlin and Vienna) / 3:30PM (Palestine and Russia) / 6:30PM (Bishkek) / 7:30PM (Vietnam)

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?  In this workshop we will reflect on the reasons we respond to student writing, explore ways of adapting our favorite response strategies to the online environment, and identifying new strategies that remote teaching makes possible. Please click here to register.

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. Please click here to register.

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.

  OSUN Connected Learning Working Group | Workshop Series: Preparing for Summer and Fall 2020
 

8:30 am – 11:30 am EDT/GMT-4
The OSUN Connected Learning Working Group is pleased to offer a series of workshops designed to support faculty as we plan and prepare for Summer and Fall 2020 courses with blended and connected learning environments in mind. These workshops are not webinars—they are intended to be small, seminar-style, interactive sessions and require one’s full attention and participation. Please visit osun.bard.edu/faculty-resources for the full workshop schedule.

All workshops will begin at 8:30AM (NY) / 2:30PM (Berlin and Vienna) / 3:30PM (Palestine and Russia) / 6:30PM (Bishkek) / 7:30PM (Vietnam)

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.  Please click here to register.


Wednesday, June 3, 2020
  8:30 am – 9:30 am EDT/GMT-4
Each Wednesday and Thursday colleagues from across the OSUN and International Network are invited (and encouraged) to join these drop-in hours. This is intended to serve as a space for faculty to gather, share pedagogical questions, and discuss teaching ideas.

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? What strategies are useful for motivating students to interact consistently with faculty and each other? Please click here to register.

Designing Online Course Modules
Monday, May 25, 2020
Designing online class sessions means thinking differently about expectations, assignments, and assessments. As faculty, we need to take into account potential connectivity challenges, as well as how to keep our students engaged and excited during each session as well as for the course’s duration. This workshop invites participants to design a module or unit of a course they will be teaching in the summer or fall. We will address considerations necessary in designing for synchronous and asynchronous learning opportunities. Please click here to register.

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.
