Enriching Your Staff: Developing and Sustaining a Professional Development Program Kate Barker, SSC Learning & Communications Manager Deepali Stark, SSC Learning & Communications, Senior Training Specialist Want to boost morale and deepen your staff's soft skills? This Lightning Talk will cover the A-Zs of designing, developing and sustaining a formal learning "Academy" for your staff. Hear how the U-M Shared Services Center (SSC) offers formal skills development through a dynamic three-year learning experience that is custom-designed for SSC Staff. It contains three separate learning tracks that target the learning needs of our employees. Training is organized by theme semesters so that every employee, no matter the learning track, is learning about the same topic at the same time. 4-Year Curriculum Planning Tool for Engineers Jennifer Taylor, Engineering Advisor Jennifer Taylor will discuss curriculum planning tools created for engineering students: As an advisor, I noticed that students in the College of Engineering were looking to enhance their course planning tools. We had PDF versions of Sample Schedules for each of our majors, but they were not able to be edited. After talking with students, and seeing that they'd like to plan out their curriculum, I created downloadable google sheets with the information laid out in a 4-year plan. I also used the Ross School of Business to model their 4-year plan. This way, students can easily arrange their coursework based on a typical schedule, and adjust it to fit their individual needs. The hope is that they can continue to use this form to update their advisors on their course plan, leaving advising interactions to more meaningful topics. The Well-being Site on Canvas Carol Tucker, Health Educator, Wolverine Wellness, University Health Service Catherine Crouch, Business Systems Analyst, ITS Teaching and Learning In this Lightning Talk, members from University Health Service and ITS Teaching and Learning will showcase a unified model of well-being that has been developed for the U-M campus community, through a Canvas site where students can find well-being resources in one location. Preparing Students to Enter, Engage and Exit Communities Neeraja Aravamudan, Associate Director for Teaching & Research, Edward Ginsberg Center Staff from the Ginsberg Center will highlight key elements that faculty & staff should consider to effectively prepare students for community-engaged learning through courses, programs, student-led efforts, and other contexts. Community engagement is framed as working with communities to work towards shared goals, and includes experiences like direct service, volunteering, consulting, community-based research, social entrepreneurship, and more. We will share resources that can support faculty and staff in these efforts during the talk. Connecting Michigan: A Community Engagement Infrastructure Dave Waterhouse, Associate Director of the Ginsberg Center Carrie Luke, Project Manager, Office of the Provost In September 2018, Connecting Michigan launched to explore the feasibility of a coordinated, broadly accessible, technology-enabled infrastructure for community and civic engagement to advance the University of Michigans mission and amplify its contributions to the public good.

25 | Experimenting with Critical Process Writing in College Classrooms (a Journal Lab Workshop) | 5/8/2019 | 3:00 PM | This experimental workshop introduces participants to the theory and practice of process journal pedagogy, a framework for organizing and facilitating critical process writing in college classrooms. This pedagogy is framed by the productive overlap of two senses of process: in composition studies, process generally refers to the sequences of activities and practices through which writers produce texts (i.e., the writing process); from the perspective of critical studies oriented toward social justice, process refers to complex social and cultural forces that produce identities and experiences with and through intersecting systems of power, privilege, and oppression. The driving hypothesis of process journal pedagogy is that learners can access greater reflexive and practical understandings of intersectional complexity using writing exercises and practices that foreground composition as process. Through practical engagement in a variety of individual and collaborative composing activities in various media, including an opportunity to design and experiment with new critical process writing exercises, this workshop aims to communicate the rationale, design, and affordances of process journal pedagogy, while also bringing participants insights to bear on potential problems with the model, for further examination and development. | Esther Grace Witte | |||||||||||||||||||||
26 | Using The Padlet Tool to Interact with Your Audience | 5/9/2019 | 10:00 AM | Do you have a brainstorming session for an assignment coming up soon?

Anotemos lets users create a video annotation by adding a publicly available video from YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive or Kaltura and inviting others to participate in the video annotation. Each participant has a dedicated timeline in which they post their timestamped comments, which are tracked by the Message Board. Anotemos also lets users customize the message board by using different filters. Virtual Exchange: Connecting Students Across Cultures Amy Gillett, VP of U-M's William Davidson Institutes Education Initiative Nathan Rauh-Bieri, Senior Program Administrator, William Davidson Institute Virtual exchange connecting students across cultures via technology is finding a role alongside traditional study abroad programs as a way to expose students to other cultures. The presenters will discuss a recent opportunity to pilot such a virtual exchange, M²GATE, and will discuss the benefits that virtual exchange can offer, including: access, reach, flexibility, reciprocity, and 21st century skill building. M²GATE was designed to provide experiential and action-based learning. The program leveraged WDI's custom-designed learning management system the ExtendEd portal as well as off-the-shelf technologies including BlueJeans and Facebook. We will discuss the student response to the program and a couple of the challenges we countered, as well as our next steps following the success of M²GATE: launching a Global Virtual Learning Center at WDI and offering a new virtual course at the Ross School of Business. Using a web-based digital whiteboard to improve STEM education by promoting active learning, problem solving and critical thinking Katherine LaCommare, Lecturer IV Presenters will engage participants in the use of a research-validated active learning platform called Visual Classroom, developed at Tufts University to increase student interaction and enable adaptive instruction. Visual Classrooms supports both scientifically meaningful collaborative activities such as expressing viewpoints and developing evidence-based explanations by consensus, and formative assessment and analytics for monitoring student progress in a persistent shared workspace (Hynes, Danahy, Schneider & Dowling, 2012). The talk will explain how this technology can be used to promote pedagogies that develop scientific inquiry, problem solving, critical reasoning and collaboration in the classroom. We will also discuss how Visual Classrooms can be used during lectures, laboratory-based activities, and projects outside of class time. Reflective Blogs to Facilitate Critical Thinking and Communication Skills and Engagement with Peers Dr. Dina Gohar, Lecturer I Instead of writing reflection papers that only a faculty member reads and grades, students can write reflective blog posts on their individual private blogs using WordPress, Wix, or esri Story Maps,, and comment on each other's blog posts with questions/constructive criticism within Canvas (for easier tracking/grading and privacy) to facilitate more discussion with peers outside of the classroom, which would be particularly helpful for online and blended courses. In this Lightning Talk, well discuss some examples of how this has been done and the value students and faculty have found in it. | Teaching and Technology Collaborative,Britain Woodman (@britain) | |||||||||||||||||||||

41 | Leveraging an Online Course to Prepare for Effective Community Engagement: Local and Global | 5/8/2019 | 3:00 PM | In fall 2018, an interdisciplinary team of U-M faculty and community engagement professionals worked with the Office of Academic Innovation to launch a massive open online course (MOOC) called Collaborating for Change. The course covers foundational principles, concepts, and skills for anyone from novices to experienced practitioners who wants to work more effectively with community members and organizations. The team intentionally designed this course to be flexible, including modules and activities that can be mixed and matched, taken all together or in chunks, and completed independently or in tandem with facilitated coursework, pre-departure training, etc. This workshop will introduce participants to the course content and cover a wide range of ways to leverage it in different contexts, including but not limited to: in-person courses, community-academic partnerships, client projects, education and work abroad, research projects, internships, public scholarship, and student organizations. The workshop will begin with a brief overview of the course and its development, including ways U-M faculty, staff, and students have used it, followed by an activity in which participants will design a plan for using it in their own contexts. Presenters will also share some new companion materials designed specifically for instructors and facilitators. This session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.

Then the groups form circles and explain their findings to 6-10 other groups of three, just like 4-5 year olds do in kindergarten. | Steve Yalisove | |||||||||||||||||||||
43 | Why a Backchannel Should Exist In *ALL* First-Year Courses | 5/6/2019 | 1:00 PM | Many students in large college-level survey courses are reluctant to pose verbal questions during class. Entreating students with Any questions? more often than not fails to produce a response and, when it does, comes from a small subset of all students. This workshop introduces participants to what a backchannel is and how it works. The workshop provides context on how the use of a backchannel affected increases in student engagement over multiple semesters and how the use of a backchannel eliminated the gender bias in class participation. It is argued that a backchannel allowing anonymous inquiry is an important step towards inclusiveness in our entry-level courses. | Perry Samson (@pjsamson) | |||||||||||||||||||||

45 | A Spreadsheet Alternative: Airtable, A "Usable" Database for Non-database Users | 5/7/2019 | 10:00 AM | (This session is full, but an identical, second session has been scheduled for Wednesday, May 22nd. You may register for it by following this link.) Do you often consider how to best collect, organize, and share information for a project? Do you ever wish the spreadsheet you are using could help you do this better? Airtable is a new cloud-based tool that works like a spreadsheet but gives you the power of a database. It is a *usable* database for those of us who dont use databases and so much more. Come to this session to get a brief overview of what makes Airtable different and see real examples of how several different units are using it to improve, enrich, and refine new and existing information and processes. Participants will also have the chance to brainstorm use cases for their own work, leaving the session with a greater understanding of Airtable and practical ideas for how they might use it in their own context. Co-presenters and use cases include: The School of Information uses Airtable to organize the Schools client engagement process, which in turn enhances the course experience for students and faculty by helping the School measure the impact of student work for clients. The Provost's Office and CRLT leverage Airtable for the 2020 reaccreditation process, which requires collecting and coding hundreds of documents from almost every unit on the Ann Arbor campus. Because Airtable is both relational and cloud-based, they can easily and collaboratively organize and sort these many documents and identify how best to incorporate them into the report. The Center for Educational Outreach (CEO) utilizes Airtables cross-table functionality for their outreach programming consultations with U-M faculty and campus units. As many different CEO staff members visit and discuss various different elements of purpose to program with faculty and staff, Airtable is a clear and concise tool for the team to remain on the same page and maximize time with clients. It also supports the director of CEOs goal to maintain a clear map of the cross-campus relationships CEO are building and where to strategically move resources. This session is co-sponsored by the School of Information, the Office of the Provost, the Center for Research on Teaching and Learning and the Center for Educational Outreach. | Carrie Luke,Marissa Rivas Taylor,Alissa Talley-Pixley | |||||||||||||||||||||

47 | Predict-Observe-Explain pedagogy in any classroom: a case study using the AVIDA-ED digital laboratory | 5/8/2019 | 1:00 PM | You tell them, they write it, they study it (A LOT!) why do they get it wrong on the exam? The Predict-Observe-Explain (POE) method is a research-based approach to fixing this frustration. Learn how to make it happen, even in a LECTURE classroom. Students enter classrooms with wrong ideas about natural phenomena. When this happens, the common wisdom of building from prior student knowledge is not useful. Conceptual change is required. To ripen students for conceptual change, ask them to make a prediction, collect data, and see that their prediction is wrong. This POE method is useful for all, and particularly powerful in the natural sciences. But, how can this work in a lecture classroom? Go digital. We demonstrate how we leverage a FREE, digital lab platform (AVIDA-ED) to construct a POE experience in biology without any lab materials and computing power as simple as a cheap tablet. No experience with AVIDA-ED or biological evolution is needed prior to attending the session; please bring a computer. This session may be immediately useful to those who teach evolution in biological systems, the human body (e.g., cancer) or computing systems (computer science), and you will leave the session with a set of activities to use. The pedagogy is transferable to all instruction, especially in the natural sciences. | Laura Eidietis,Cindee Giffen | |||||||||||||||||||||

We'll brainstorm ways to present learning data in visualizations that promote student learning. Students generate data every day in learning management systems and other learning tools. What if they could use that data to become better students? Student-facing dashboards are becoming ubiquitous in Learning Management Systems. They enable students to monitor their progress and compare their performance to that of their peers. Ideally, these systems support students use of metacognition and other self-regulated learning. This session provides an opportunity to generate ideas and create designs for visualizing data that students can use. | Jennifer Love,Stephanie Teasley | |||||||||||||||||||||

54 | Making Sense of and Reflecting Our Community Using the Michigan Public Engagement Framework | 5/6/2019 | 1:00 PM | As scholars and instructors explore options to communicate and engage publicly, it is helpful to understand the variety of opportunities available across the U-M. Parsing these options from blogging and social media, to policy engagement, to community-engaged teaching and research can be a helpful exercise in aligning interests and motivations with specific opportunities to create a public impact. In an effort to make clear the many different options, an interdisciplinary, cross-campus team created a working conceptual framework to understand and categorize public engagement efforts at academic institutions. We will share the draft Michigan Public Engagement Framework and host a conversation with public engagement professionals active in different spaces to explore commonalities, opportunities for our community to learn from one another, and the ways that public engagement enriches the research and teaching missions of the University. This session is open to anyone; attendees will leave with a better understanding of the public engagement landscape at U-M and practical ideas for ways they may initiate or augment their own work (no devices or advance preparation required).

72 | We Don't Need No Stinkin' Digital Badges! Or Do We? | 5/9/2019 | 1:00 PM | Digital badges may seem like a gimmick that's come and gone. Perhaps they are merely ed-tech artifacts of their time, like Mel Brooks' hilarious and troublesome 1997 feature film, Blazing Saddles, the source of the literary allusion in this session title (or was it The Treasure of the Sierra Madre...). If we (instructors) are already awarding students credit for coursework successfully mastered; if we (the institution) are already maintaining academic transcripts, then what good are they? Everyone already knows who the sheriff is in town. Except, perhaps, when the learning takes place outside of a credit-bearing course structure. A small but growing number of staff development and co-curricular programs are taking advantage of the new Canvas + Badgr integration to issue badges instead of grades to learners in their programs. In this session, we will look at examples from current projects, discuss the benefits and challenges of introducing digital badges to a learning community, and get hands on experience setting up and issuing digital badges in Canvas. | Diana Perpich | |||||||||||||||||||||

74 | Podcasting Overview and Brainstorm Session | 5/6/2019 | 3:00 PM | This session is intended for individuals of all skill and knowledge levels who are interested in exploring the possibility of developing their own original educational podcast. The first half of the session will provide a high-level overview of podcast typologies, production practices, and possibilities for distribution, with a focus on the unique affordances of the underlying podcast subscription-based mechanism. In the second half, attendees will be able to brainstorm, pitch, and refine ideas with other interested podcasters and podcast enthusiasts. We hope this session will inspire attendees to step outside their comfort zones and consider the possibility of producing high-quality instructional podcasts regardless of media production experience. Two key areas of future exploration related to teaching and learning are the utilization of podcasts as a supplemental course resource, as well as for the purpose of supporting content accessibility. The session will be led by media production experts from the Office of Academic Innovation, who have produced various podcasts in collaboration with other units on campus. Attendees should come with writing materials or a computer/tablet, along with one or two ideas they would like to workshop during the session. | Tim O'Brien,Eleanor Schmitt | |||||||||||||||||||||
75 | What Is On Your Mind? Extending Ideas With Digital Whiteboards | 5/9/2019 | 10:00 AM | From formal design sprints, to informal brainstorming sessions, to unpacking inspired ideas from your head, whiteboards are often used to capture and organize abstract ideas, and transform them into more tangible and visible ones. However, in today's digital and mobile environments which expand when, where, and how we work, the fixed nature of the whiteboard limits its utility. This session will demonstrate and let participants engage with a digital whiteboard and collaboration tool, using different scenarios and contexts to illustrate the usefulness of creating and communicating ideas in this manner. Participants will need to bring a laptop or tablet running the latest Chrome or Safari browser and will be asked to use their UMich Google account to sign up for the Realtime Board service at https://miro.com. | Peter Arashiro | |||||||||||||||||||||

77 | Community Engagement and DEI: Applying Principles to Practice | 5/7/2019 | 3:00 PM | Community-engaged teaching has important implications for the development of cross-cultural awareness and positively impacts campus climate as students, faculty and community members collaborate across differences. Developing truly mutually beneficial campus-community partnerships requires taking a critical look at how power and privilege are embedded in these relationships and preparing our students effectively for this work. Purposeful course design, student preparation and ethical partnering are all crucial for moving toward positive community impact while promoting student learning. In this session co-facilitated by experts from LSA's Community-Engaged Academic Learning (CEAL) and the Edward Ginsberg Center, we will discuss key principles and promising practices to promote student learning *and* mutually beneficial campus-community partnerships when developing effective community-engaged courses. Participants will begin applying these ideas to their own courses, so please bring a course idea or description. This session is designed for faculty, staff or graduate student instructors planning to teach or currently teaching a community-engaged course. This session is part of the Public Engagement theme during Enriching Scholarship 2019: a series of workshops and discussions intentionally and collaboratively crafted by units all over campus to foster engaged learning and scholarship in service of public impact.

80 | Take Control of Your Scholarly Identity with Deep Blue | 5/9/2019 | 1:00 PM | If the CV is the table of contents to a scholarly career, repositories help make the fuller story available by providing direct access to the rich content deposited in them. This extends beyond articles to teaching materials, conference materials (papers, slides, posters), data, code, images, and other resources. This session will engage attendees in identifying the breadth of their research outputs, and exploring how repositories can help add depth to online scholarly identities by making these outputs more visible and available. It will focus on the Deep Blue repositories (Deep Blue Documents and Deep Blue Data) stewarded by the University of Michigan Library as venues for exposing this work, and will be most useful for those in faculty and staff roles, but applicable for anyone building out their scholarly identity online. Breadth of representation becomes ever more important as more people engage in public scholarship or other types of work not traditionally captured in conversations around scholarship and promotion. Attendees will leave the session with a list of their own scholarly accomplishments to explore making available online, and a framework to use in determining the best platform(s) for their work. The session will also include a chance for participants to interact with Deep Blue and Deep Blue Data, and learn about repositories in general as well as the services available to them as members of the University of Michigan. The session will complement Enriching Scholarship sessions Managing your scholarly presence online and Visualize public engagement with scholarly research using Altmetric Explorer. | Martha Stuit,Rebecca Welzenbach (@rwelzenb),Rachel Woodbrook | |||||||||||||||||||||

89 | Increasing Student Motivation: Strategies that Work | 5/6/2019 | 1:00 PM | Motivating todays students to actively engage in learning activities proves challenging for most faculty. Very often millennial students do not respond as did students in the past to extrinsic motivators such as bonus quizzes and extra credit assignments. However, as James Raffini presents in 150 Ways to Increase Intrinsic Motivation in the Classroom, when the psychoacademic needs of students are met in creative ways, student motivation soars. This very interactive workshop will engage faculty in a discussion of addressing student needs for autonomy, competence, relatedness, self-esteem, and enjoyment in order to significantly increase student motivation. The presenter for this session will be our Keynote Speaker, Dr. Saundra McGuire. | Guest Presenter | |||||||||||||||||||||
