SUMMARY:Quizzes in Brightspace: Randomizing Your Quiz
DESCRIPTION:Presenting each student in your course with a slightly different version of the same quiz increases the integrity of the assessment\, as students are less likely to turn to academic dishonesty. \nThe Brightspace Quizzes tool allows instructors to configure quizzes in a such a way that each student will get a different version of the same quiz. In this session\, various methods of randomizing a Brightspace quiz will be illustrated such as shuffling questions and answer choices; creating a question pool and populating a quiz (or a section within it) with a random selection of questions from the pool; and more. The role of the ‘Question Library‘ will also be discussed. \nThis session will be hosted in Webex. Registration is required for this event – please follow the link below to register.

SUMMARY:CITL Winter Book Study - “Syllabus: The Remarkable\, Unremarkable Document that Changes Everything”
DESCRIPTION:LIMITED REGISTRATION EVENT \nCITL is proud to have the 2020 President’s Award winner for Outstanding Teaching\, Dr. Janna Rosales\, host the Winter 2023 Teaching and Learning Book Study Group. Dr. Rosales\, Associate Professor (Teaching) with the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science\, is calling all educators who want to delve deeper with effective teaching to join her in exploring the book Syllabus: The Remarkable\, Unremarkable Document that Changes Everything by William Germano and Kit Nicholls (Princeton University Press\, 2020). \nSpoiler alert: The book wasn’t written to provide fast and easy “tips and tricks” for punching up your syllabus! It is a much deeper dive to help you reflect on how and why you teach — the book will help you think about your teaching more deeply\, reveal things you may have taken for granted\, make you question your assumptions about students\, and shed new light on the future of university education more broadly. \n\nBy signing up for the book study you agree to attend all scheduled book study meetings (five dates across the Winter 2023 semester). Participants will be selected on a first-come\, first-served basis. \n\nThings you need to know:\n\nYou will read\, explore and collaboratively discuss the book Syllabus: The Remarkable\, Unremarkable Document that Changes Everything by William Germano and Kit Nicholls;\nRegistration is limited to 12 participants\nAn electronic copy of Syllabus: The Remarkable\, Unremarkable Document that Changes Everything can be accessed through MUN Libraries.\nThe group will meet online for up to 75 minutes at the schedule noted below (all sessions scheduled for Mondays\, 12-1:15pm)\n\nStudy schedule:\n\nJanuary 16 – Chapters 1 & 2 (49 pages)\nFebruary 6 – Chapters 3 & 4 (46 pages)\nFebruary 27 – Chapters 5 & 6 (46 pages)\nMarch 20 – Chapter 7 & 8 (40 pages)\nApril 10 – Chapter 9 & wrap-up  (16 pages)\n\nAbout the book:\n\nRather than offering a history of the syllabus\, which awaits other scholars\, Germano and Nicholls craft a powerful and unabashedly entertaining argument (an impressive feat for a book about a document that is often deadly boring) about how we can use our syllabuses to improve our teaching and our students’ learning.  Andrea Williams\, University of Toronto \nThe following article and podcast links will share more about what you can expect from this book: \n\nArticle: ‘Syllabus’ by Scott Jaschik\, Inside Higher Ed\nPodcast: The Syllabus with William Germano and Kit Nicholls from Dead Ideas in Teaching and Learning\, a podcast hosted by Catherine Ross\, Executive Director\, Centre for Teaching and learning\, ColumbiaU. (Episode: Feb 2021)\n\nRegistration will be open until January 9\, 2023 or until all spaces have been reserved.

SUMMARY:The Labour-Based Approach to Grading* (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Dr. Sarah Martin\, Associate Professor\, Department of Political Science Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences. \nThis presentation explores labour-based approach to course work and how it is connected to (and disconnected from)\, various course assessment practices. The labour-based approach to grading\, also called specification or contract grading provides on-going and frequent feedback to the students\, but only one grade at the end of the term. \nIn this session\, Dr. Martin will discuss how they have incorporated this model into teaching\, along with the successes and failures along the way. \n*Inspired by Max Liboiron’s work and Megan Von Bergen \nThis is an online session and it will be recorded. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time. It is recommended that you attend this session using one of the following internet browsers:  Chrome\, Microsoft Edge (Chromium) or Firefox. \nRegistration is required for this event. *CLICK HERE TO REGISTER*

SUMMARY:Mending and Making: Community Engagement Perspective in Practice (CITL Instructor Series)
DESCRIPTION:The presenter for this session is Ivan J White\, Mi’kmaw from Bay St. George\, Indigenous Education Specialist with Memorial University. \nIn this conversation\, Ivan J White\, Mi’kmaw from Flat Bay and Indigenous Education Specialist with Memorial University will speak to Mending and Making in the context of working with community. We make and mend relationships by telling our stories. This recognizes that both academics and community members have their own truth of experience and motivations when working together. Together\, these shared stories can add to the creation of a deeper learning experience for students and be mutually beneficial for the instructor and community. \nFrom Ivan J’s perspective we can all share in creating a better world through understanding and authentic practice of the following two principles: Msit No’kmaq (all my relations) helps to contextualize that everything is connected\, with this connection being unbreakable\, and Etuaptmumk (two-eyed seeing) to give us a path to work together for the mutual benefit of all. \nThe goal of this conversation is to share the two concepts in an authentic way so to allow participants to start the journey of reflection on how to engage community through inclusion\, collaboration and sharing. \nThis is an online session and it will be recorded. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time. It is recommended that you attend this session using one of the following internet browsers:  Chrome\, Microsoft Edge (Chromium) or Firefox. \nRegistration is required for this event. *CLICK HERE TO REGISTER*

SUMMARY:Document Review Support:  Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Have you ever wondered if your course material (handouts\, charts\, and other documents) are accessible to all students?  Have you thought about how the visual presentation of these documents may present barriers to student learning? \nIn honour of Global Accessibility Awareness Day and in collaboration with Accessibility Services (Blundon Centre)\, CITL’s Learning Technology Coaches would like to invite Memorial’s instructional staff to participate in an accessibility document review process. \nUsing best practices as outlined by WebAIM\, coaches will use accessibility checklists for Word\, PowerPoint and PDF documents to review documents and highlight items that can be adjusted to make it more accessible.  These checklists focus on the accessible use of headings\, appropriate inclusion of tables\, images and other formatting features. \nIf you would like to have any of your learning material reviewed against these checklists\, you are invited to drop by the Teaching and Learning Exchange (ED 1001) between 10am and 4pm  OR you can send your document(s) to ltc_citl@mun.ca and we will conduct the review and return a findings report along with recommendations on how to improve the document.

SUMMARY:Maintaining Test Integrity with Advanced Quiz Settings
DESCRIPTION:Presenting each student in your course with a slightly different version of the same quiz increases the integrity of the assessment\, as students are less likely to turn to academic dishonesty. \nThe Brightspace Quizzes tool allows instructors to configure quizzes in a such a way that each student will get a different version of the same quiz. In this session\, various methods of randomizing a Brightspace quiz will be illustrated such as shuffling questions and answer choices; creating a question pool and populating a quiz (or a section within it) with a random selection of questions from the pool; and more. The role of the ‘Question Library’ will also be discussed. \nThis session will be hosted in Webex. You can join the session 10 minutes before the start time. It is recommended that you attend this session using one of the following internet browsers: Chrome\, Microsoft Edge or Firefox. \nRegistration is required for this event. *CLICK HERE TO REGISTER* \n
