When we assign students a project or activity，we often take for granted that they will understand what we are asking them to do and why. Students do not always have the skills and ability to determine this，though，which is why writing assignments with a clear purpose，that explains the task in full，and provides the criteria on which students will be evaluated is so important. This webinar will explore the TiLT framework for assignment creation. Bring an assignment you currently use in one of your classes to study and revise throughout the session. – September 20, 2018

Do you find your students are often underprepared for the rigor and expectations of your class? This is a common challenge many of us face，yet we are expected to teach these students and many of us feel intense pressure to reduce DFW rates. What should we do? Should we fail them? Do we need to do what some view as handholding or coddling? In this panel you will learn about research on this topic，and several faculty colleagues will share though-provoking，successful approaches to moving students where they need to be by first meeting students where they are. Come and discuss your ideas with us as you learn about what you can do in the classroom to help more of your students build momentum and truly succeed，without compromising the integrity of your course. – September 07, 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 details on 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 CETL workshop 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 (Sept 5 - 10:00-11:00am) Information will be emailed to your kennesaw.edu address closer to the date of the webinar. This is recorded for those who cannot attend.
an asynchronous online component available for two weeks (Sept 5-19)
a 2.5-hour，face-to-face interactive segment (Sept 19 - 10:00-12:30) Alternative online coursework (Sept 19-Oct 25) can substitute for the f2f segment，if scheduling issues exist for you.
Note: This workshop assumes working knowledge of Desire To Learn (D2L). – September 05, 2018

Research shows that community and a sense of belonging are associated with improved motivation and learning in undergraduate instruction. However，graduate student teachers seldom receive specific training in creating community when teaching undergraduates. This webinar introduces graduate students to community-building strategies in the undergraduate classroom to improve undergraduate learning. – September 05, 2018

Do you find that students begin to tune you out just when things are getting interesting in class? Do they seem stuck on details they should already know? In this workshop we will explore research-based practices to reduce student cognitive load and help them learn more effectively in class. During this workshop we will: learn to recognize factors that cause bottlenecks in student information processing required for learning; describe ways to reduce cognitive load by helping students effectively process information; and plan strategies to reduce cognitive load in your classroom – August 31, 2018
