4/17/2020 With four weeks of emergency remote teaching behind you, are you looking to take your online teaching to the next level? Are you new to online, or have some experience, but want to learn “how others are doing it?” As we have all moved to remote teaching, what are some lessons learned that we can apply to the rest of the semester and beyond? During this session, faculty panelists – from brand new to experienced practitioners – will share their experiences, lessons learned, “aha” moments, and the challenges and rewards of online teaching. Learn about what is involved in planning, preparing and facilitating an online course. Gain insights on how this modality is different from (and the same) as on-ground teaching. Learn valuable lessons, tips and tricks from those who have already tried (with or without success).

We are developing a discussion board on Blackboard. This online forum is designed to remove traditional physical barriers between faculty–especially when we have two separate campus locations. The goal is to create a safe space to discuss teaching topics such as pedagogy, technology, mentoring, etc. We hope to cultivate a growth/entrepreneurial mindset culture to adopt best practices and foster collaboration among teaching faculty. Potential rewards may include social support and opportunities for professional development. If you are interested in participating in this pilot program, please email me directly at brewera@wcsu.edu

Identify Yourself
Spring 2019, 2020
The course aims to present the connection between visual arts and self-awareness in the changing world of what a person’s identity means for their future. Included are contemporary art-making methods and how the making of art involves creative problem solving. The relationship between process, form, and content for presentations will also be examined.
Mask Project. Create two masks, either contrasting in form or a progression of form.
The mask project will develop both the ability to conceal and reveal in the constructed form of two masks which can substitute or distort our true selves. The mask forms will be discovered through discussion and examination of personal authenticity.
Week 1: Introduction of mask histories. Presentation of examples and resources.
Week 2: Sketch development, collection of materials for scale mockups.
Week 3: Source materials. Begin assemblies.
Week 4: Assemblies continue.
Week 5: Final assemblies and photography.
At each step in the process an individual critique will take place.
Each student has the opportunity to confront their personal authenticity and reveal aspects of their complexity as a person to others. The class-wide discussions that take place are spirited, yet respectful, and guided toward the artistic method and form which helps realize the final presentation.
By Sharon Young, WCSU Department of Social Work
I was fortunate to take the online teaching workshop offered by CELT/TIDDL last summer. Like many of my colleagues, I felt intimidated by the idea of conveying classroom content in an online platform. The workshop spurred me to think about new ways to use technology to have an asynchronous dialogue. The message boards on Blackboard are fine, but I wanted something better. This is where Voicethread comes in. The Voicethread platform is easily, yes easily, accessible through computer, tablet, and phone. My students get a log in so they can view and create their own Voicethreads. My social work research course has always involved student presentations of research proposals. Voicethread allows them to easily upload Powerpoint slides, photos, or videos and comment on each slide. Then they can get feedback from me and their peers about their work. I can upload my lecture slides and record my voice, make notes on each slide, and drop in any media along the way. Check out my quick video below to see it in action.
