This special Toolkit Workshop began with a conversation talking about attendees' LiveTalk experiences before sharing several positive examples of the various form a valuable LiveTalk might take. The session focused on learning, personal connections, and the other opportunities afforded by LiveTalks. Topics included things to do before a LiveTalk to prepare, ideas for engaging the students, and things to do after the LiveTalk all in an effort to make sure everyone gets the most out of a purpose-filled LiveTalk. NOTE THAT THIS RECORDING WAS MADE PRIOR TO THE BSPH SHIFT TO FACULTY SELF-RUN, REMOTE LIVETALKS so some content, such as mentions specific to the studio and multimedia support, is no longer applicable to our LiveTalks.

As faculty at the school move to a remote teaching model, knowing how to use CoursePlus — the school's learning management system — is more important than ever. Many tools in CoursePlus can save you time and minimize the hassles of course administration. Whether or not you're familiar with CoursePlus, this session introduces time-saving tips for making the system work for you and your students. This includes information on: a digital syllabus for keeping your students on track with your course goals; Drop Boxes for collecting student work; an Online Library for document organization (and posting your Zoom recordings); delivering online exams; and a Gradebook for keeping students apprised of their performance in your class.

This session was dedicated to moving assessment activities from the face-to-face classroom to the remote, online platform. It focused on incorporating academic integrity through clear communication and proactive design. In addition, participants learned about alternatives to traditional exams that can be considered for both formative and summative assessments; options for maintaining existing exam formats in the online platform; and CoursePlus tools and their settings that allow faculty to build new, and sometimes stronger, methods of assessment plus techniques for efficient grading and personalized feedback.

We offer several opportunities for LiveTalk training in person (in the NSPH Multimedia studios) at the start of every term. In response to recent events, for Term 4 AY19-20 we shifted the training to be online. This recording was made during one of our three sessions. It teaches navigating several techniques important to managing a LiveTalk, specifically as related to Zoom. It's worth noting -- managing a LiveTalk is definitely not the same as simply having a meeting via Zoom!

Dean's Office Faculty Workshop: Course Design… Backwards! (60 min) | transcript | presentation slides
April 2022
Elizabeth Topper Golub, PhD, MEd, MPH (OPAL, Epi); Amy Pinkerton, MIDT (CTL)
Have you ever wondered whether your course was designed backward?
Typically, faculty start the course design process by identifying the content that they want their students to absorb, but there is a more effective, goal-oriented method called Backwards Design. In this workshop, we will explore aspects of Backwards Course Design, which focuses on the end goals, or learning objectives, of the course. We will discuss the importance of starting with learning objectives, what it means for a learning objective to be SMART, and how to design assessments that align with those objectives.

This session will focus on how the Community of Inquiry (COI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) frameworks can intersect to support engaging learners with the curriculum and with each other. We will discuss pedagogical strategies attached to COI and UDL to create and maintain a positive learning climate. This climate – one that is authentic, intellectually challenging, motivating, and promotes a sense of purpose and belonging – sets the scaffolding upon which students can master the subject matter while also building their skills as life-long, expert learners.
