- What professional develop opportunities have been most beneficial in the last year?
- Report-outs and takeaways from anyone who went to EDUCAUSE Annual Conference
- How are we partnering with faculty to leverage technology in order to create, find, and/or sustain authentic audiences for their students’ work? For example, editing Wikipedia pages.
- What does online media literacy look like at Ohio State?
- What are some of the barriers to adopting a flipped learning pedagogy and what are some ways to mitigate them?
- How far do you take accessibility testing of new Learning Tech?
- How do we nudge faculty from thinking exclusively about the content to thinking about how students experience their course?
- What are higher education solutions for classroom support?
- Collaboration w/ Big Ten Universities: What successful collaborations have you had, are planning, or would like to have with our peer institutions?
- How can we do a better job of connecting tech implementation to evidence-based teaching practices?
- How to get reluctant faculty to adopt a basic minimum adoption of LMS?
- With the Digital Flagship iPad deployment ramping up over the next few years, how can we take advantage of these new devices without leaving older students out of the conversation entirely?
- UITL, Proctoring/Academic Integrity, training needs
- How do we in online course development work to balance student resources, content, excess directions, etc. with functionality and clarity?
- Are there any assessment methods people have used to analyze pre and post iPads or any specific Digital Flagship elements?
- How can we do a better job of sharing/communicating learning technology work that is happening around the university in order to identify areas where we may be able to collaborate?
- How do we best go about supporting legacy systems that are still in use while we try to introduce newer ones? For example, a Flash-based tool vs. one that uses HTML5.
- With the new question type accessibility for Qualtircs, what are other options available?
- During instructional design, how do we make sure the style doesn’t outshine the substance? Using new tools are fun, but at what point do they distract from the content. What are current best practices for amount and type of multimedia use within a single course?
- Discuss tips and advice on setting up a learning environment conducive for interdisciplinary students to work and learn together.
- When thinking of distance learners, how can tech give us the ability to create immersive learning experiences? What do we need to be mindful of when pursuing immersive learning via tech?
- When thinking of new/novel tech ideas in the classroom, how do we incentivize faculty to adopt them? (I am especially interested in pre-tenure — the weight of SIAs in the P&T process supports predictable classroom techniques, and pre-tenure faculty are already spread thin. How can we incentivize them to use new/novel tech?)
- Are there funding lines that we can creatively tap into to support new tech ventures for the classroom?”
- I’m just interested in staying abreast of the ELT community and its work at OSU. Thanks!
- What are some of the barriers to adopting a flipped learning pedagogy and what are some ways to mitigate them?
- What technologies can be used in EFL(English as a foreign language) class?
- I am just starting out with this for a potential promotion, and really just want to hear what everyone else has to say on these topics.
- Have faculty in your department embraced the Digital Flagship iPad program? What software, hardware, or additional support would your department need to achieve the greatest benefit for your students from this initiative?
- What are ways to get introverted students interesting in taking part in class discussions or outside class discussions?
- How do we get faculty to provide students with a more consistent experience in Carmen across all courses?
- How can we do a better job of training and supporting new faculty and staff?
- How does one pick a technology to apply to the classroom? What mechanisms are used to determine if that technology will be worth investing in and used in the pedagogical structure?
- Looking for more info on assessing competencies or ensuring user competencies for eLearning/distance based education.
- What gig data and analytic tools are available to evaluate and improve education and training and how can we implement it?
