Bridging the Digital Divide: Best Practices for Reaching UNM StudentsApr. 9 2024, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMCTLCTLZoom

Details for Bridging the Digital Divide: Best Practices for Reaching UNM Students

This workshop will address specific data about UNM Students and the state of New Mexico as a whole while demonstrating evidence-based approaches for bridging the “digital divide,” which is the popular term describing the phenomenon of the gap between those with reliable access to computers and internet, and those who do not. We will cover how to make your online courses accessible to those working offline at home, ensure equitable approaches to course-required technology, and set students up for success by connecting them to campus resources and providing help with internet access and various technologies.

Details for An Introduction to Transparent Assignment Design

Join us as we discuss Transparent Assignment Design (Winklemes, 2019). In a 2016 study at UNLV, outcomes including persistence and retention for a cohort of students who received assignments following the transparent design framework were higher than those of the control group. In this workshop, we will cover the benefits of Transparent Assignment Design and discuss the process of designing or redesigning one of your own assignments.

Pedagogies of CAREApr. 23 2024, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMCTLCTLZoom

Details for Pedagogies of CARE

When students report the experience of belonging within a learning environment, their academic performance, self-confidence, and motivation are positively impacted (Duran et al., 2020; Moeller et al., 2020; Jorgenson et al., 2018). Yet the reverse holds true as well: Student perceptions of non-belonging contribute to educational gaps and reduced retention rates among underrepresented populations. How can instructors foster students' sense of belonging within their courses, particularly in online learning environments where contextual cues can be difficult to read?  In this webinar, we explore the research on creating inclusive, equitable, and welcoming learning environments, drawing upon the CARE framework (community, agency, representation, and equal access) as outlined by the Online Learning Consortium. 

Specifically, attendees will:

  • Reflect on features that make learning environments inclusive, equitable, and welcoming.
  • Identify teaching strategies for creating inclusive, equitable, and welcoming learning environments.
  • Discuss ways of designing learning activities based on the CARE framework for both online and face-to-face learning environments.

The time requirements are about 2-3 hours a week (12-18 total), and the course has two deliverables, a course map (a required document for many of our quality reviews) and an online teaching portfolio (comprised of elements completed during EBPTO). As of Summer 2021, instructors are required to complete either EBPTO or RASI training to teach online.
