Captiva A <br />
Promoting Cultural Diversity via a Faculty Web-‐Based Book Study <br />
Presented by: Carol Austin and Judith Scott (Missouri Baptist University) <br />
Develop and deploy a diversity book discussion through Blackboard, along with glitches to avoid. We will share <br />
how a small university addressed diversity standards and challenge you to discover your hidden biases. Activities <br />
to explore and promote diversity, along with personal vignettes and videos from participants will be featured. <br />
Captiva B <br />
Using Mobile Devices to Support Hybrid and Online Learning <br />
Presented by: Carolyn Awalt and Teresa Cortez (University of Texas at El Paso) <br />
Mobile devices offer exciting ways to supplement and support hybrid and online learning, while liberating us from <br />
our computers and putting the classroom in the student’s pocket. During this session, attendees will use their <br />
device to experience how students use social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter) and various apps to expand <br />
their educational experience. <br />
Pine B <br />
Reflections, Discussion Threads and Peer Reviews <br />
Presented by: Jacqueline Candido, Carol Muller, and Kristine Rabberman (University of Pennsylvania) <br />
Penn presenters will describe their experiences with assessment techniques for two very different online courses. <br />
One is focused on student engagement while the other is built for mass open enrollment on the new Coursera <br />
platform. The team will share experiences and outcomes. <br />
Pine C <br />
Title TBD <br />
Presented by: Julie Marciel-‐Rozzi (UMUC) <br />
Peer-‐mentoring, done well, can serve as a significant and valuable part of a learner support suite of tools. Coupled <br />
with traditional program and institute level offerings such as academic advising, career advising and other <br />
supports, the value of peer-‐mentoring lies in one-‐on-‐one contact and personalized attention. Attendees will leave <br />
the presentation with a clear understanding of how a peer-‐mentoring program can benefit students, faculty and <br />
mentors, how to implement a peer-‐mentoring program and the challenges, opportunities and outcomes they can <br />
expect from the program. <br />
Cypress Courtyard <br />
Pillars and Principles <br />
Presented by: Mary Larson (Southern Regional Education Board) and Kathleen Ives (The Sloane <br />
Consortium) <br />
In the past, there have been very limited tools for institutions to assess the quality of what they do online, but some <br />
emerging tools have real potential. Come join us for an opportunity to learn about the tools and ask questions of <br />
presenters. A review of the SREB's Principles of Good Practice and Common Standards for institutions and the <br />
elements of the Sloan Pillars for online education will also be reviewed.
