Today's technology offers many options and styles for creating online surveys; however, few if any of those sources tell you how to create a GOOD survey. This webinar is designed to help you avoid the pitfalls of survey design. We will discuss bias, reliability, and validity. In addition, you'll learn where to locate existing survey instruments and scales online and how to write good survey questions that will ensure you collect the data you need for your research. This webinar is offered in partnership with the Burruss Institute. – December 03, 2020

The Annual Review Document and Faculty Performance Agreement can be laborious and time intensive to create, depending on departmental guidelines. While this is a required process, it can also be an opportunity to think strategically about what we have accomplished in the past year and what our goals are for the next year – and about the story we want to tell. In this workshop we will explore strategies for documenting your effectiveness in the Teaching, Research, and Service areas; demonstrating progress toward your mutually agreed goals; laying the foundations for your next multilevel review, and situating yourself in an optimal position for negotiations with your chair. We will also discuss the technical aspects of the ARD and FPA process in Digital Measures Faculty Insight. – December 01, 2020

This interactive webinar will engage metacognitive capacity building practices to explore the intersection of ethical behavior and leadership effectiveness. Regardless of how ethical we believe ourselves to be，there is always room for improvement in how we incorporate ethics into our leadership practices. Using real world case studies and critical self-reflection strategies，participants will explore the theoretical core of ethical leadership and apply it to their own institutional contexts. – November 18, 2020

Internships and co-ops are one of the three pillars of KSU's It's About Engagement! initiative. They are a high-impact educational practice that leads to deep, meaningful learning for students (Kuh, 2008). This workshop will highlight the expectations for creating or re-designing an online internship or co-op course into one that is a high-impact practice, how to work with internship or co-op supervisors regarding academic requirements, and how to embed a meaningful reflection component into these courses. CETL Scholarly Teaching is partnering with Career Planning and Development to provide a complete set of resources to help ensure your online internship and co-op course can contribute towards KSU's It's About Engagement! initiative. – November 16, 2020

Reviewer feedback can be helpful, enlightening, brutal, overwhelming, or even non-sensical. Regardless, scholarly productivity requires us to be resilient as we revise, resubmit, or go back to the drawing board. This interactive webinar will provide keys to resilience in scholarship and creative activity. Participants will then be guided through individual reflection on their experiences with reviewer feedback. They will leave the session with a concrete plan for future resilience and increased productivity. – November 10, 2020

As a faculty member, you are an expert in your field, whereas your students are likely novices possibly learning about the topic for the first time. This disconnect between how we view our course content and how students experience it can create frustration for both teacher and learner, particularly in online courses. Considering the intricacies of knowledge building and organization can help to bridge this gap. In this interactive webinar, attendees will think critically about how they teach content and design online learning experiences in an attempt to determine where they might be making assumptions about students’ knowledge and skills. Participants will work individually and in breakout rooms to identify and work to overcome their expert blind spots. – November 06, 2020

Departmental relationships are an important component of the pursuit of promotion and tenure. It is within the context of relationships that we receive and provide mentorship, contribute to department committees and faculty meetings, and develop a sense of community and belonging. Relationships are also the context in which we negotiate workload, committee assignments, class schedules, and annual goals. At times these relational aspects of faculty life come easily and at times we have to really work at them. Faculty in this interactive webinar will consider techniques they can use to effectively engage in negotiation, difficult conversations, and proactive relationship-building in order to thrive. Particular emphasis will be placed on the relational aspects of promotion, tenure, and annual reviews. – November 05, 2020

Despite a lack of scientific evidence to support the idea that individuals have distinct learning styles, the learning style myth persists, embraced by many instructors in an effort to respond to visible learning differences among students. However, other well-researched constructs like metacognition may prove to be much more useful as we seek to capitalize on our students' individual cognitive differences and tailor our online instruction accordingly. In this interactive webinar we will examine research on learning styles and metacognition, reflect on our own approaches to student learning differences, and share ideas for promoting metacognitive teaching and learning in the online environment as an alternative to learning styles.

When students become partners in the process of evaluating their learning, we acknowledge the value of their contributions, aware that “students and teachers are both curious and able learners” who bring diverse experiences and perspectives into play (Felten, Gardner, Schroeder, Lambert & Barefoot, 2016). Whether soliciting prior learning, creating midterm evaluations, or instituting a critical incident questionnaire (CIQ) process (Brookfield, 2018), student feedback is invaluable in discovering what our students are learning in our online classes. Conversely, teacher feedback that demonstrates responsiveness and transparency can dramatically impact our teaching practices and enrich student learning. This webinar offers multiple, innovative examples to engage student partners in gathering and responding to student feedback online. – October 29, 2020

Constructive alignment is a simple principle that can be applied to all aspects of designing and delivering a course, whether online or in other modalities. The three components of constructive alignment are learning outcomes, assessments, and learning tasks. In this webinar we will explore evidence-based practices for designing online learning tasks and assessments that can be tailored to directly align with the learning outcomes for your course. Examples from several disciplines will be shared. – October 23, 2020
