Experiencing the Escape Room

              concept of an Escape Room and the technology which supports it (Adobe

Assessment 101: Training for New Faculty
9:00-10:30    Very few academic programs are teaching graduate students how to do
              assessment, and yet expectations for assessment are built into our job
              descriptions. In Assessment 101 new faculty will learn assessment basics:
                      1. Course level learning outcomes, formative and summative
                         assessment, and assignment mapping.
                      2. Compare the different ways to assess course learning along with their
                         pros/cons.
                      3. Using D2L to expedite assessment. Using assessment to save time.
                      4. Analyzing the assessment qualitative and quantitative data, and how
                         to use it to improve your course.
              This information will help you provide evidence for “Teaching Effectiveness”
              within your PDP/PDR and PNT package. You will be able to contribute to
              program-level, Liberal Education and other institutional assessments, making
              you the darling of your home department. Presented by: CETL and Assessment
              Office. This session is for new faculty only.

              Zoom link will be emailed to new Faculty.

Humanizing Online Learning
10:30-11:30   Faculty will be guided through interactive demonstrations of three specific
              humanizing practices they could use in their online courses. Each
              demonstration will focus on a specific evidence-based course facilitation or
              design practice using technology tools available to all Minnesota State
              instructors. Faculty will need to bring their devices to this session. Presented by:
              Dr. Roseann Wolak, SCSU Online; Christopher Stanley, ITS; and Christopher
              Stanley, ITS. Faculty will need to bring their devices to this session.

Question, Persuade, Refer (QPR)
11:30-12:30   As someone who may be in the best possible position to prevent suicide, you will
              find that QPR is designed to help you help someone who may be considering
              suicide. This presentation will discuss signs of someone considering suicide,
              ways to address your concerns with the individual, as well as campus and
              community resources. Much like CPR, the fundamentals of QPR are easily
              learned. And like CPR, the application of QPR may save a life. Presented by:
              Erica Karger-Gatzow LICSW, Assistant Director of Health Promotion and
              Marketing.

Liberal Education Goal Area 5: Assessment Planning, Introduction to
Rubric, and Assignment Timing
2:00-2:45   Courses in goal area 5 are expected to complete assessment work this year, if
            they have not already done so in either of the last two years. This requires an
            assessment plan (Excel file) detailing how each outcome will be assessed,
            implementation of the assessment in your class this semester, and reporting at
            the end of the semester. In this session, you'll learn more about the elements of
            a good assessment plan, get tips on how to implement the assessment (whether
            using D2L or not), and review guidelines on what is needed for reporting. Data
            on student performance is aggregated across all courses in the goal area, so the
            data reported in each class needs to be consistent. Come learn more and get any
            questions you may have answered! Presented by: Assessment Office. This
            session is by invitation only.
