SUMMARY:Fictional Classrooms - October 2024 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Fictional Classrooms – October 2024 Meeting\nDate: Monday\, October 21st\, 2024 \nTime: 2:00-3:00pm (AT) / 1:00-2:00pm (ET) / 10:00-11:00am (PT) \nRegister your interest to attend! \n“Fictional Classrooms” CTEI Communities Description: \nWhat can we learn about our own teaching practices and identities from fictional depictions of higher education? Join us in “Fictional Classrooms” as we explore and reflect on narratives of education in films\, novels\, tv shows\, and short stories\, whether they speak to us as learners\, educators\, researchers\, artists\, or simply as humans. Monthly meetings give us time to chat about what we have watched or read while reflecting on our own teaching practices and contexts. All YU + TFS instructors are welcome and encouraged to register. \nWe approach the Fictional Classrooms program with a “read-what-you-can” mentality. We understand that we can get busy and may not finish readings/viewings each month\, but we encourage you to attend each session regardless of how much you have been able to engage with the text or film so we can still have fruitful conversations and build community. \nLearn more about our monthly meetings

SUMMARY:Humanizing University Students’ Online Learning Experiences
DESCRIPTION:Humanizing University Students’ Online Learning Experiences\nDate: Wednesday\, October 16th 2024 \nTime: 4:30-6:00pm (AT) / 3:30-5:00pm (ET) / 12:30-2:00pm (PT) \nRegister here! \nWorkshop Description: \nAre you seeking strategies to create a sense of community and belonging in your online courses and digital teaching? Have you ever wondered how to infuse empathy and understanding into your virtual interactions with students? Have you found yourself in a dilemma where you aim to encourage the use of technologies for enhanced engagement in online teaching and learning\, yet want to caution students about potential risks associated with these technologies? As the prevalence of online courses and components rises and as the diversity within the online and virtual student demographic expands\, the imperative of infusing humanistic elements into online teaching and learning becomes increasingly apparent. \nA burgeoning body of literature in online education underscores the need for pedagogical approaches that prioritize inclusivity\, diversity\, and accessibility\, and that consider the social implications of technological incorporation. The 2023 Educause Horizon Report underscores the growing sophistication and accessibility of technologies\, notably with the emergence of Generative AI tools. Given this landscape\, a critical and ethical orientation towards humanizing online learning via increasingly digital pedagogies emerges as an urgent necessity for Canadian higher education institutions. \nThis workshop aims to encourage reflexivity in faculty and instructors\, prompting us all to critically assess our previous and ongoing practices in humanizing (and/or the use of potentially dehumanizing) aspects of online teaching and learning. Together\, we will foster discussions on how educational technologies can – and should – be critically and ethically integrated into our increasingly digital teaching contexts.

SUMMARY:Brightspace Training: Accommodations and Accessibility
DESCRIPTION:Brightspace Training: Accommodations and Accessibility\nDate: Friday\, October 4th\, 2024 \nTime: 12:00-1:30pm (AT) / 11:00-12:30pm (ET) / 8:00-9:30am (PT) \nRegister here! \nSession Description:   \nHow can Brightspace support student accommodation? What are the accessibility features\, and how can I ensure that I am thinking about some UDL principles in my teaching. This session will address these questions through demonstration\, trying a few things out on our own\, and coming back to community with questions and learning points. Our focus will be on the “Manage Special Access” options in Assignments and Quizzes\, as well as what accessibility looks like in Brightspace and with your use of Announcements and Discussions as well as how to approach some aspects of learning analytics with accessibility in mind. \nPlease note: While the focus of these trainings is on TFSO launching in Brightspace for Fall 2024\, any and all interested faculty and instructors across YU + TFS are more than welcome to register and join us for these sessions in advance of their own courses moving to Brightspace.
