Effective Online Instruction Webinars Learning Community

As you continue to move your courses to remote learning this semester, we want to provide you with resources to make your work as effective as possible. The Association of College and University Educators (ACUE) has put together a series of live webinars happening over the next three weeks covering key topics in online education. Although these webinars are more focused on best practices in carefully planned online education rather than the emergency remote education that we're doing in the face of the COVID-19 crisis, many of these practices will be adaptable to our circumstances this semester and can help to prepare you to take our own Online Teacher Credential course if you are interested in teaching online courses in the future.

We will continue the discussions begun in these webinars in a Virtual Learning Community. There will be three meetings of this Learning Community with each covering two webinar topics. The schedule will be:
  • April 17 – 1 p.m.–2 p.m.
    • Organizing your Online Courses (Live 4/9/2020 at 12 p.m. MDT)
    • Planning and Facilitating Quality Discussions (Live 4/14/2020 at 12 p.m. MDT)
  • April 23 – 1 p.m.–2 p.m.
    • Recording Effective Microlectures (Live 4/17/2020 at 12 p.m. MDT)
    • Engaging Students in Readings and Micro-Lectures (Live 4/20/2020 at 12 p.m. MDT)
All of these webinars are available during their live times or to download afterwards from the ACUE WEBSITE. Their dates have been included next to their names. Whether or not you get the chance to watch or listen to the webinars before the meeting, feel free to come to discuss these topics with your SLCC colleagues. Register for this event through your MySLCC portal under the Employee tab.

A committee chosen by the Associate Provost for Learning Advancement selects the faculty lecturer each year. The lecture takes place in the spring. Distinguished Faculty Lecturer Andrew Vogt, PhD Associate Professor, Engineering Dr. Andrew Vogt’s teaching philosophy is guided by two principles, curiosity and efficiency.  “Curiosity leads us to study a topic and allows us to really understand the ins and outs of research, while efficiency is all about sustainability,” he says. Andrew describes curiosity as a pure, open-minded impulse to explore, such as the ease with which children learn new concepts with virtually no instruction. Efficiency adds maturity to that childlike impulse, creating structures and pathways for accomplishment.  Andrew’s work has alwa...
