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.

SLCC Business School is Utah’s First to be Named Exclusively After a Woman

Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) proudly announces a partnership with the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation to modernize its Business Building and transform its School of Business. The improvements are made possible through a generous $10 million gift from the Miller Family Foundation and Gail Miller, the largest-ever single cash donation received by the college.  SLCC is renaming its Business Building the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Business Building in honor of the Miller family’s legacy and contributions to the community. The business school will be named the Gail Miller School of Business in recognition of the strong business acumen Gail Miller displays as a community leader and as the owner and immediate past chair of the Larry H. Miller Company. This name change will make SLCC home to the only business school in Utah and one of only a few in the country to be named exclusively after a woman.  “We are deeply humbled by the generosity of Gail and the Miller fam
