Introverts are some of the most creative and productive people，but are often stereotyped as shy and forced to navigate work and class environments designed for extroverts. With the rise of group work in classes，emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration，and open discussions of often contentious issues in faculty meetings，introverts can feel marginalized. Yet，this need not be the case. In this book Susan Cain examines the power of introverts and how they can leverage their strengths to thrive in these contexts. She also provides valuable incites for extrovert faculty who work with and teach introverts. – March 06, 2018

The Online Course Development Workshop is a two-week online/f2f workshop and is one pathway to online teaching certification at KSU. (See below for the all online three week option). This training will explore aspects of online pedagogy，effective practices for online course design and introduce the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric for Online Courses which provides a framework for designing，developing，and improving online courses. This is the only CETL workshop that will lead to online teaching certification at KSU. You must be a current KSU instructor to register for this workshop.
Since this workshop is delivered in a hybrid format，you will participate in synchronous and asynchronous online activities and one face-to-face session. You will have the opportunity to experience online instruction from a students' perspective，complete activities at your own pace，and explore various course tools. Please note: Alternative online coursework can substitute for the f2f segment，if scheduling issues exist for you.
By registering for this webinar，you are responsible for completing all 3 components of the workshop described below. This is part 1 of a 3 part workshop. You will not see a Part 2 on this website，as it is the asynchronous part of the workshop. Please read below for more information.
After completing this training，you should be able to:
Identify the underlying principles & essential standards of the QM rubric
Use the Quality Matters rubric to develop and evaluate your online course
Recognize and integrate effective practices in your online course design and delivery
Identify the KSU groups that support online learning
Describe the KSU online course submission and peer review processes
Outline a potential module to use in your course
Participants will be required to complete all three components of the training. This includes a live webinar (March 6 - 1:00-2:00) Information will be emailed to your kennesaw.edu address closer to the date of the webinar
An asynchronous online component，which will be available for two weeks (March 6-20)
A 2.5-hour，face-to-face interactive segment (March 20 - 1:00-3:30)
Alternative online coursework (March 20-26) can substitute for the f2f segment，if scheduling issues exist for you. – March 06, 2018

Studies show class climate significantly affects student learning，performance，and retention not only in face-to-face classrooms，but online as well (Ambrose，et al.，2010). This webinar with Dr. Laura Davis，the winner of KSU's 2017 Outstanding Teacher award，explores ways to create an explicitly inclusive (warm) climate in an online classroom. – February 21, 2018

Students are coming out as trans* in college at much higher rates than in the past，and many eductors feel unprepared to reach them. This book is a great resource in that direction. Rather than looking at trans* students from a deficit perspective，as problems needing to be accommodated，Z Nicolazzo uses a framework of resilience and agency to shape hir empirical study. The book also provides a glossary and answers to commonly asked questions about gender beyond the binary. – February 19, 2018

Have you found yourself telling your students they should study two hours for every one hour of class time… that they should know their learning style… that they should listen to classical music while they complete their math homework… and then wondered if your words of advice are actually true? Join us for this fun，informative workshop. We will even ensure that we use more than 10% of our brains to decide whether the evidence supports or rejects these and other learning myths! – February 16, 2018

In this workshop，participants will reflect on their beliefs about teaching and learning，identify theorists that align with their views，and articulate concrete ways their philosophy is enacted in online or traditional classroom settings. This workshop is designed for all graduate students interested in teaching or preparing their materials for a job search. – February 15, 2018
