TLT: Tech Tools for Engaging Students
This workshop will introduce participants a variety of technology tools that can help drive student engagement. Poll Everywhere enables instructors to measure students' understanding of key concepts during class discussions. Panopto offers a feature to embed quiz questions in video assignments, so students are active viewers of that content. Perusall engages students in close, social reading of texts. Due to time constraints we will skim the surface, and offer interested faculty opportunities to consult with academic technology experts for more in-depth exploration.
Date: Thursday, March 25, 2021
Time: 2:20 - 3:35 p.m.
Presenter(s): Kael Kanczuzewski, Teaching and Learning Technologies, and Crystal DeJaegher, OIT Special Projects
Supporting International Students
International students enrich higher education by bringing their languages, cultures, and perspectives to the classroom. In doing so, they heighten social awareness, improve cultural literacies, and broaden intellectual development for their peers (Wong 2018; Luo and Jamieson-Drake 2013). However, while international students contribute much to their classrooms and campuses, they also confront many challenges. This workshop will explore inclusive teaching practices that can be incorporated into classrooms across disciplines and teaching contexts in order to support international students. Specific focus areas will include communicating clear expectations, leading effective discussions, and embracing students’ diverse language and writing abilities.

Effective Grading and Efficient Feedback
In this workshop, participants will learn about the different uses and purposes of “grading” and providing feedback. We will introduce strategies for evaluating your grading criteria, incorporating multiple approaches to providing feedback, and encouraging students to engage with the feedback they receive. We will also address a few technological tools and techniques that may save you time in providing meaningful feedback to students.
