    Tired of receiving research papers on worn out subjects, and more importantly weary of witnessing an extreme disconnect between my students and their choice of research topics, I began using a more "organic" approach to research. In this session, I will present my "Ripped From the Headlines" research project, explain how it works, and explore some of the ways it has helped overcome the dissociation students often feel between themselves and their research paper topics, and provided me with interesting reading material.

  • Invent the Beyond - The Future of Learning in 2030: Module 1 Begins

    Sunday, September 14, 2014 at 8:00a — 5:00p
    The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
    The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
    Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
    This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
    In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.
    To register and for more detailed information go to https://opencourses.desire2learn.com/cat/ (https://opencourses.desire2learn.com/cat/)

    4. Promote inter –agency relations among participating community organizations.
    5. Significantly expand the economic impact of UNG in the community by availing participating agencies innumerable volunteer hours provided by our students.
    6. Function to advance UNG's institutional goal of civic engagement.

We are expecting between 50- 60 community organizations to participate and we are seeking, with your help, to mobilize approximately 500 students to attend the event. We also need the assistance of about eight faculty members for two hours each between 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. to assist in coordinating the activities of the event as follows:

  • Invent the Beyond - The Future of Learning in 2030: Module 2 Begins

    Sunday, October 12, 2014 at 8:00a — 5:00p
    The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
    The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
    Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
    This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
    In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.
    To register and for more detailed information go to https://opencourses.desire2learn.com/cat/ (https://opencourses.desire2learn.com/cat/)

  • Writing a Successful Faculty Scholar Award Proposal

    Wednesday, October 22, 2014 at Noon — 1:00p
    Oconee Campus, Room 564
    Speakers:
    Pamela Sezgin (HAP): "Ottomanism: Creating A Shared Cultural System at the End of the Empire"
    These presentations will allow faculty to learn about the award proposal process, and ask questions of previous award recipients. These sessions will offer insight and information on how to craft a successful Faculty Scholar Award proposal.
    The Faculty Scholar Awards (FSA) funds tenure-track faculty members who are engaged in scholarly activities which require funding for (a) course release, (b) travel related to the project, (c) purchase equipment germane to the project, or (d) other justified uses of this award.
    The RFP will be released early in the spring 2015 semester so this session is organized to give you suggestions from the 2014 awardees that may help you plan your proposals.
    Besides providing an overview of their unique research projects, awardees will also share their experiences writing their proposals as well as the reviewers' comments.
    Representatives from the UNG Grant's Office will also participate to respond to specific questions about the grant writing and indirect funds.
    There will be three sessions addressing this material: one on each campus, attend the session that is most convenient for you. All sessions will cover the basics of writing a successful Faculty Scholar Award.

    The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
    The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
    Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
    This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
    In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.

  • The Quality of Learning in MOOCs - USG Faculty Development Webinar

    Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at Noon — 1:30p
    Webinar via Blackboard Collaborate
    Presenter - Thomas C. Reeves, PhD, The University of Georgia
    Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and other forms of open education are viewed as positive disruptive innovations by some and as threats to traditional education by others. The discord over MOOCs is especially evident in the higher education sector. This presentation examines the evidence for and against MOOCs, especially with respect to the quality of the learning accomplished by participants. The presentation also describes inconsistencies in learning assessment in MOOCs, and suggests innovative assessment strategies based on authentic tasks. Finally, recommendations are made for advancing the efficacy and impact of MOOCs through educational design research.

    Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
    This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
    In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.

    The Gates Grant project data collection is complete, though the analysis is still in the works...and will be for quite a while. What have we learned about the use of "Adaptive Learning Technology"? What have we learned about our teaching? What do you want to know? This conversational brown bag will describe the grant project's scope and UNG's approach to the parameters, as well as explain some of the data that we've collected over two semesters of pilots in first-year composition and developmental language arts courses. We will also discuss the successes and challenges of using technology, and we hope to have a conversation with attendees about anxieties, excitement, or anything in between, about the use of adaptive technology as a teaching tool.

  • Invent the Beyond - The Future of Learning in 2030: Module 6 Begins

    Sunday, February 15, 2015 at 8:00a — 5:00p
    The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
    The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
    Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
    This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
    In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.

    Although it is not difficult to create a truly global World Lit 1 course--China, Japan, India, and the Middle East have plenty of great texts--finding material for teaching early African and Mesoamerican literature can be more challenging. Two of the most widely anthologized texts for those areas, the Sundiata and the Popol Vuh, are both useful but can be daunting to newcomers. This presentation gives an overview of the two stories and provides ideas about how to connect them to other texts on your syllabus.

  • Academic Leadership Meeting - Academic Affairs Forum, The Dean's Dashboard, Part 2 (private event)

    Thursday, March 19, 2015 at 1:00p — 2:00p
    Presenter: David Godow
    Faculty are the institution's most precious resource, and their activities largely determine the success or failure of the institutional mission. However, most faculty utilization policies fail to focus faculty effort on the highest high-value work that promotes institutional goals.
    This webconference will discuss how institutions are making more effective use of faculty time without crude, politically unacceptable "productivity improvement" policies like increasing teaching load or course size caps. It will also explore how metrics are being integrated into unit-level strategic planning and budgeting processes to create faculty buy-in for data-informed decision making
    Learn how to ensure departments are maximizing use of available instructional capacity, better align faculty workload policy with institutional priorities, engage units more fully in "data-informed decision making" by connecting use of metrics with their own goals.

  • USG Webinar - Presenting Learning to the Public: Using Word Press as Assessment Tool

    Tuesday, March 24, 2015 at Noon — 1:30p
    Presenter: Ben Wright, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
    Students pour countless hours into coursework only to see the product of that labor result in a paper or exam which is either discarded or filed away in cabinet. This talk proposes that we consider ways to turn student learning into enduring monuments of achievement. Taking this approach can dissolve the boundaries of the classroom and enable students to make connections between their academic work an the wider world. Ben Wright has taught a series of courses that ask students to produce websites that archive and present student learning. Drawing on his experience as the editor of abolitionseminar.org, a NEH funded digital seminar for K-12 educators, Wright has worked with students in creating websites for a course on the rise and fall of Atlantic slavery, viewable at riseandfallofslavery.wordpress.com and the history of global apocalyptisicm, viewable at historyoftheend.wordpress.com. Hear more about his experiences and consider how you can integrate these models into your own classrooms.

    Guest Lecturer: Hiram Fitzgerald, Ph.D.
    Community Engagement Scholarship focuses on the integration of higher education's knowledge base in research and creative activities, with the public's knowledge base anchored in the realities of everyday life. The integration co-joins higher education's knowledge discovery and application missions with community needs for sustainable and transformative change in nearly every facet of contemporary life. Dr. Fitzgerald will focus on issues related to institutional alignment with respect to community engagement scholarship, and examine approaches to building and sustaining community partnerships in order to advance knowledge and solve community problems through approaches that emphasize the co-creation of knowledge and co-production of sustainable change. Dr. Fitzgerald will also illustrate how community engagement scholarship enhances higher education's efforts to educate students to participate in and lead the development of 21st century innovations that will enhance competitiveness, locally and globally.
    Hiram E Fitzgerald is University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology and Associate Provost for University Outreach and Engagement at Michigan State University. He is president of the Engagement Scholarship Consortium and is a member of the Council on Engagement and Outreach of the Association for Public and Land Grant Universities. In 2014 he was elected to the Academy of Community Engagement Scholarship.
    In his diverse research efforts, Fitzgerald participates in a variety of interdisciplinary research teams focusing on evaluation of community-based early preventive-intervention programs in Michigan. Fitzgerald's major areas of research include the study of infant and family development in community contexts, the impact of fathers on early child development, 0-5 age boys and risk, implementation of systemic community models of organizational process and change, the etiology of alcoholism, and broad issues related to the scholarship of engagement. He has published over 500 journal articles, chapters, books, technical reports, and peer-reviewed abstracts. He is senior editor of the two volume Handbook of Community Engagement, and the recently published, Going Public: Civic and Community Engagement (MSU Press).
    Fitzgerald has received numerous awards, including the ZERO TO THREE Dolley Madison Award for Outstanding Lifetime Contributions to the Development and Well Being of Very Young Children, the Michigan Association for Infant Mental Health Selma Fraiberg Award, and the designation of Honorary President from the World Association for Infant Mental Health. He is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association (Divisions 7, 34, 37) and the Association of Psychological Science.

  • Civil War at 150: Perspective on Impact and Significance, Lecture Series - "The Human Cost of the American Civil War"

    Thursday, April 9, 2015 at 5:30p — 7:00p
    Gainesville Campus, Nesbitt 3110
    Civil War at 150: Perspective on Impact and Significance, Lecture Series
    "The Human Cost of the American Civil War"
    Lecture by Dr. J. David Hacker, Associate Professor of History, University of Minnesota
    This lecture series is designed to mark the 150^th Anniversary of the end of the US Civil War and to draw campus and community members into a dialogue about the impact and continuing significance of the Civil War.
    David Hacker's recent article, "A Census-Based Count of the Civil War Dead," reexamines the number of casualties during the US Civil War, challenging the widely accepted estimate of 620,000. The revised figure of 750,000 casualties forces a reexamination of the immediate and long-term human costs of the war. Hacker's work has received national and international attention.
    Program begins at 6:00 p.m. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. prior to each program.
    There will be three events featuring different speakers scheduled monthly from February to April of 2015. Events are free and open to the public.

    Technology, demographics, and economics are powerful forces of disruption that are challenging colleges and universities. Traditional missions, core assumptions, and ways of operating all have to be reconsidered in this era of transformation. How can colleges and universities survive and indeed thrive in this dramatically new environment?

    
    George L. Mehaffy serves as the Vice President for Academic Leadership and Change at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) in Washington, D.C., a higher education association representing 400 public colleges and universities and their 3.8 million students. His division is responsible for developing and managing programs for member institutions in areas such as organizational change, civic engagement, leadership development, undergraduate education, technology, international education and teacher education. He works closely with university presidents and chief academic officers on a variety of national initiatives. Each year, his division organizes a number of conferences, including two national conferences each year for AASCU chief academic officers. He has directed a series of innovative projects, including international programs with China and Liberia; a technology transformation annual conference with EDUCAUSE and the University of Central Florida; and two major national studies of student success. In 2003, he launched the American Democracy Project, a civic engagement initiative involving 240 colleges and universities, in partnership with The New York Times. Most recently, he organized the Red Balloon Project, a national initiative to transform undergraduate education. Before coming to AASCU, he had more than twenty years of teaching and administrative experience in higher education in Texas, New Mexico, and California.

    Title IX response systems and academic freedom can co-exist and be mutually supportive but not without careful attention to the balancing of sometimes competing interests.

  • Bebop in Bavaria: The Reception and Practice of African American Studies in Europe

    Wednesday, September 23, 2015 at Noon — 1:00p
    Dahlonega: Wednesday, September 23, 2015 | Hoag 209C
    Gainesville: Wednesday, September 30, 2015 | Robinson Ballroom A
    Sponsored by Office of Multicultural Student Affairs
    Dr. Jürgen E. Grandt's "Bebop in Bavaria" is something of a personal travelogue through the discipline of African American Studies in Europe. Drawing on my experiences as a graduate student at the University of Zürich (Switzerland) and my stints as Visiting Professor of American Studies at the University of Bayreuth (Germany) and as Visiting Professor of English at the University of Basel (Switzerland); on conference proceedings and guest lectures at institutions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland; as well as on more informal discussions with colleagues and students from many more nations, "Bebop in Bavaria" seeks to illuminate some of the peculiar challenges and opportunities faced by the (white) European student, teacher, and scholar of African American literature and culture.
    My presentation will address, among other issues, the reasons for the heavy emphasis on critical theory in general and Gatesian Signifyin(g) in particular; the impact of September 11 and current US foreign and domestic policy on the discipline; differences in institutional structure and academic culture; and the crucial role of black music and its appropriations, jazz and hip-hop especially. "Bebop in Bavaria" thus investigates how and why the discipline of African American Studies is received, amended, and/or transformed after its transatlantic journey to Europe.

  • Web Accessibility Group (WAG): The Changing Legal Landscape for Video Accessibility in Higher Education

    Presenters: Art Morgan, VP of Partner Development and Dr. Kevin Erler, Co-founder, Automatic Sync Technologies
    Session Description:
    With video becoming a key component in educators' tool kits, it is essential that schools not only understand, but employ video accessibility best practices. While the Department of Justice has long been actively enforcing accessibility regulations, recent class action suits against prominent universities have brought renewed attention to the importance of closed captioning, both in terms of the scope and the quality of captioning. In this webinar, we will describe relevant accessibility compliance issues and recent enforcement changes that schools should be aware of. We will also discuss the implications of these changes for educational institutions and provide guidance on best practices to address these implications.

    Keynote Speaker:
    Dr. Peter Doolittle
    Virginia Tech University
    This is a special invitation to all faculty and instructors at the University of North Georgia to join your colleagues in the College of Education for a special one-day conference on October 23 focused on innovation in teaching. You are most welcome to not only attend but also submit proposals about your innovative teaching.
    Our keynote speaker, Dr. Peter Doolittle, Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning, Executive Director of the Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research (CIDER) at Virginia Tech, will speak about the unfortunate tendency in higher education to look for and accept easy solutions to complex and wicked problems, often under the guise of innovation and technology. In contrast, Dr. Doolittle will remind us of the essentials of teaching and learning innovation and the role that all faculty play in developing effective future technology-rich instructional environments.

  • USG Faculty Development Monthly Series: Teaching in Times of Tragedies

    Wednesday, January 20, 2016 at Noon — 12:30p
    Presenter: Michele DiPietro, Kennesaw State University
    Every time national or local tragedies happen (e.g., 9/11, Virginia Tech, Newtown), their impact is felt on our campuses. These occurrences are thankfully infrequent, but this means instructors are not prepared to teach in their aftermath. My research indicates that most professors are very confused about how to respond to a tragedy, what their role should be and what actions are most effective. In fact, my research also indicates that the most common response to tragedies in the classroom was the one the students found least helpful. Rather than being prescriptive, this presentation will draw on this research to help participants define their role and consider a list of effective strategies that will work best for them.

    Kristin Kelly, Associate Professor of English, will discuss her work with "Talking Service," a national reading and discussion program for servicemen and servicewomen coming back to civilian life from the war zone. As faculty at a premier military college, all of us have veterans in our classrooms. Kelly's talk will help us serve these students better through understanding what they experience as well as what resources can help them, including "Talking Service."
    The program is based on the text Standing Down: From Warrior to Civilian edited by Don Whitfield of the Great Books Foundation and includes essays, short stories, and poems spanning more than 2,500 years. Participants read and discuss selections on themes such as Caregiving, Civilians and War, Combat, Confronting the Enemy, and Family Relationships.
    Sometimes the soldiers relate the evening's reading to their own military experiences. Sometimes it's all about the text. The Georgia Humanities Council sponsors Kelly's program in Buford, GA, with textbook support also provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Please join us to learn how to better serve our student veterans.
    This event will be video teleconferenced to all campuses.

    In order for advisors, faculty, staff, and peers to better serve this population of students, they all need to be aware of the potential challenges a service member, student veteran, and their families might face when attending college. Modeled on the "Safe Zone" program, Green Zone is designed for faculty and staff to receive training about issues potentially facing active service members, student veterans, and their families.
    This training will provide faculty, staff, and students with an understanding of the military experience of military connected students and families as they transition from the military to campus life. This training opportunity will also bring awareness of community resources available to military-connected students and families on and off our campus.
    Participants who complete the training will receive a sign to display in their office and have their name listed on our website as having completed the training.
    Green Zone Training will provide participants with the following:
    

    
    
    • An understanding of the military experience and emotional cycle of deployment.
    • An understanding of the potential issues facing undergraduate and graduate student veterans as they transition from the military to our campus.
    • An awareness of the resources available to student veterans and their families on and off our campus.

    
    Green Zone Allies are not expected to be experts or mental health counselors. Green Zone Allies are a sympathetic ear and someone who can refer a student veteran to appropriate on-campus resources.

    The scholarship of teaching and learning provides important data for effective classroom instruction methods at the university level; these data are supported by statistical research not only in STEM fields, but also in the humanities. This one-hour statistics workshop is designed to support the research of all faculty and will provide important methods and tools for conducting quantitative research in the classroom. This research can, potentially, develop into publishable scholarship in the areas of teaching and learning.

No statistical background is required. Included topics are:
    

    
    
    • Graphing distributions
    • Shapes of distributions
    • Measures of central tendency
    • Measures of variation
    • Best choice for central tendency and variation
    • Bivariate data regression analysis
    • Hypothesis Testing

    In order for advisors, faculty, staff, and peers to better serve this population of students, they all need to be aware of the potential challenges a service member, student veteran, and their families might face when attending college. Modeled on the "Safe Zone" program, Green Zone is designed for faculty and staff to receive training about issues potentially facing active service members, student veterans, and their families.
    This training will provide faculty, staff, and students with an understanding of the military experience of military connected students and families as they transition from the military to campus life. This training opportunity will also bring awareness of community resources available to military-connected students and families on and off our campus.
    Participants who complete the training will receive a sign to display in their office and have their name listed on our website as having completed the training.
    Green Zone Training will provide participants with the following:
    

    
    
    • An understanding of the military experience and emotional cycle of deployment.
    • An understanding of the potential issues facing undergraduate and graduate student veterans as they transition from the military to our campus.
    • An awareness of the resources available to student veterans and their families on and off our campus.

    
    Green Zone Allies are not expected to be experts or mental health counselors. Green Zone Allies are a sympathetic ear and someone who can refer a student veteran to appropriate on-campus resources.

In this workshop, we give concrete advice for carving a journal article from the mountain of professional live. Writing a journal article doesn't need to start from scratch. Most of what you need, you already have.

    When preparing a manuscript for publication, we are faced with at least two kinds of revision: inward and outward. In other words, some of our revision is spurred by our reading closely and making our own changes. Other kinds of revision are spurred by reader feedback. Both are tough reflective activities but are central to scholarly productivity.
    Come and learn some tips for working the cyclical relationship between writing and revision.
    This workshop will be available via video teleconference on all five campuses.

  • Green Zone Training

    Tuesday, March 28, 2017 at 2:00p — 4:00p
    
    Dahlonega Campus | Stewart 332
    
    Facilitated by Christy Orr
    In order for advisers, faculty, staff, and peers to better serve this population of students, they all need to be aware of the potential challenges a service member, student veteran, and their families might face when attending college. Modeled on the "Safe Zone" program, Green Zone is designed for faculty and staff to receive training about issues potentially facing active service members, student veterans, and their families.
    This training will provide faculty, staff, and students with an understanding of the military experience of military connected students and families as they transition from the military to campus life. This training opportunity will also bring awareness of community resources available to military-connected students and families on and off our campus.
    Participants who complete the training will receive a sign to display in their office and have their name listed on our website as having completed the training.
    Green Zone Training will provide participants with the following:
    

    
    
    • An understanding of the military experience and emotional cycle of deployment.
    • An understanding of the potential issues facing undergraduate and graduate student veterans as they transition from the military to our campus.
    • An awareness of the resources available to student veterans and their families on and off our campus.

    
    Green Zone Allies are not expected to be experts or mental health counselors. Green Zone Allies are a sympathetic ear and someone who can refer a student veteran to appropriate on-campus resources.

  • Research-Based Teaching Series- Smoothing the Transition: Helping Your Freshmen Adjust to College Work

    Monday, September 11, 2017
    12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
    This workshop will present retention issues that can be addressed early in students' coursework and will ask faculty to brainstorm solutions. Obstacles with research, not understanding expectations, retention problems, and students' backgrounds are all difficulties that students face. Because of all of these issues can be addressed, and hopefully prevented, by faculty, this presentation will ask faculty to consider ways that we can address them in first-year courses.

    12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
    Digital Natives Lost in the Forest of Google
    Led by Austina Jordan, Associate Professor of Library Science/Collection Management Librarian
    
    There is no shortage of information in the world. Fake news abounds or so we are told. If you google "Fake News" you get 164,000,000 hits. If you search that same term in Galileo you get 465,331 results. What's the difference? Why does it matter? Research is an integral part of the academic journey. Teachers design research based assignments with numerous objectives in mind. This session will help professors understand how students actually research, how they understand research assignments and what they do for help in the process.

    The Part-Time New Faculty Orientation (NFO) will be held January 4, 2018, from 5:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. While it is titled Part-Time NFO, all incoming faculty and teaching staff are expected to attend this event for important information regarding working at UNG. This evening orientation will be offered on the Dahlonega and Gainesville campuses. Because of the low number of incoming faculty at Blue Ridge, Cumming, and Oconee, we will not hold a Part-Time NFO for spring 2018 on these campuses; instead, faculty are invited to attend in Dahlonega or Gainesville.

    For more information and to register for the workshop, email CTLL@ung.edu.
    When submitting an article or book for publication, you are typically presented with a packet of paperwork. A portion of this paperwork will include a contract for copyright. Many authors don't see any other option but to just sign copyright away. What if you had another choice? This presentation will address your rights as authors/creators as well as what you should look for when submitting your work to a journal for publication. During the session, we will discuss negotiating tactics for retaining copyright with examples of contract addenda from SPARC. We will also cover "self-archiving" – what it means, how to go about it, and how to find a journal's policy about self-archiving.

    Best Practices for Significant Learning in the Flipped Classroom
    Led by Sarah Formica, Associate Professor of Physics
    There's more to a flipped classroom than reading assignments and pre-lecture videos. Students need to engage with the material, each other, and their instructor to have significant learning experiences. This workshop will provide you with the opportunity to experience a flipped classroom, as well as tools and strategies you can use to flip your own. There will be a pre-workshop assignment and group activities during the workshop, so come prepared and ready to engage.

The journal claims to be Open Access but what does that mean? Should you trust the unknown publisher? Maybe you have seen recent articles about Academia.edu, ResearchGate, or Sci-Hub and aren't sure what those sites are or why it's a problem for authors to publish their work on sites like these. The final workshop in the series will examine Open Access publishing and where/how you can publish materials Open Access.

  • RBTS | Effectively Engaging Undergraduates in the Analysis of Primary Literature

    Wednesday, October 3, 2018 at Noon — 1:00p
    
    Led by: Miriam Segura-Totten (/biology/faculty-staff-bio/miriam-segura.php)

    The goals of this workshop is to (1) provide faculty with evidence-based examples of successful methods for classroom literature analysis, (2) discuss the difference between how undergraduates and faculty experts engage with primary literature; and (3) provide evidence-based suggestions for techniques that may enhance student understanding of primary literature. Although the examples and techniques emerged from STEM, these principles apply to all disciplines however they define "primary literature." Prior to the workshop, faculty participants are encouraged to think about courses where they would like to include the analysis of literature. During the workshop, there will be activities geared to facilitate participant brainstorming about how to incorporate the analysis of primary literature into their classes.

  • RBTS | Heightened Critical Thinking: Requiring a Prospectus and Annotated Bibliography in the Research Paper Process

    Monday, December 3, 2018 at Noon — 1:00p
    
    Led by: Donna Gessell
    Time: 12:00-1:00 p.m.
    Location:
    Blue ridge rooms are not available.
    Cumming Campus 246
    Dahlonega Campus Hansford Hall 312
    Gainesville Campus Dunlap-Mathis 137
    Oconee Campus SRC 581
    The workshop details the prospectus and annotated bibliography assignment, which has long proven a best practice for guiding students to engage in their own learning during the research paper process. Goals for workshop participants are twofold: to understand how the assignment is valuable to enhance student learning and to try it out in their own disciplines. Participants will be provided with copies of the assignment. Then we will relate it to each of the criteria in the AAC&U Critical Thinking VALUE rubric, pairing each of the five criteria in the rubric with a question in the prospectus assignment. During the discussion we will link to the stages in the writing process, detailing how every stage of the process—including brainstorming, research, and planning, which are included in this assignment—can be taught, but that the writing stage cannot be taught, making the assignment an even more valuable tool for promoting engaged student learning. To shape the revision stage, we will discuss how the prospectus can be rearranged; and we will discuss why the editing stage should be postponed. To complete the discussion of the writing process, we will explore the rhetorical principles of audience, purpose, and occasion and how they affect the publishing stage, but must be considered early on. I will share feedback about the assignment from my students, who are at various levels of writing. In addition to discussion and question and answer, audience involvement will include brainstorming how the assignment can be used in different disciplines with and without adaption. Finally, all participants will have the opportunity to try out the prospectus assignment to start engaging in their own academic project or one that they are considering for their students.

  • RBTS | Teaching Social Justice in the Writing Composition Classroom: Rising Up!

    Wednesday, February 6, 2019 at Noon — 1:00p
    
    Led by: Lisa Diehl (/english/faculty-staff-bio/lisa-diehl.php)
    Time: 12:00-1:00 p.m.
    Location:
    Blue Ridge 107
    Cumming 262
    Dahlonega Hansford 312
    Gainesville Nesbitt 5105
    Oconee SRC 564
    This session will present how I address one of the major goals of a liberal arts education: to enhance the individual's capacity for critically assessing the quality of one's own thinking and how it may impact others. I will introduce and explain how I integrated social justice into an English writing class. This approach to composition empowers students to gain a more comprehensive understanding of poverty, privilege, race, and social status through the perspective of others and allows them to examine their own thinking as well. This lesson plan is designed to build comprehension skills through engagement with multiple forms of media, as well as develop and strengthen critical thinking skills that promote analysis and reflection to improve communication skills and enhance leadership characteristics needed to successfully engage with a global society. I asked students to write reflections about specific social justice issues based on readings and class discussions. Students also completed in-class activities, which helped them become more aware of social justice issues which affect them and other Americans. Students demonstrated awareness and verification that justice issues are relevant, important and are not easily resolved. They also noted their own self-awareness of prejudices and stereotypes, which they had never considered. A liberal arts education at university must include learning that empowers students and prepares them to deal with complexity, diversity, and change. It provides students with broad knowledge of the wider world as well as in-depth study in a specific area of interest. A liberal arts education helps students develop a sense of social responsibility, as well as strong and transferable intellectual and practical skills such as communication, analytical and problem-solving skills, and a demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and skills in real-world settings.

    Facilitated by Terri Bell, MAS

    In this workshop, we will explore Fair Use through the lens of three copyright infringement cases in order to understand how the four factors of fair use work together.
    This will be a discussion-based presentation where you get to play the judge. First, we will perform an analysis of the respective issues of each case. Then we weigh the case against the four fair use factors and finally, we will compare our humble (or not so humble) opinions with how the courts actually ruled in each case. Two of the three cases represent the category of Education/Scholarship/Research, and the third case is in the Film/Audiovisual category.

  • RBTS Series #1: Serious Gaming, Serious Learning

    Monday, October 7, 2019 at Noon — 1:00p

    "Serious gaming" in the classroom is growing in popularity. Serious games can take many forms: computer games, board games, puzzles, etc. This presentation will focus on role-playing games and simulations. Within these games, students take on roles informed by historical sources and/or current events. There is no fixed script, no predetermined outcome. Students are guided by the philosophical and intellectual beliefs of the people they have been assigned to play, and seek to achieve their goals in papers, speeches, other kinds of public presentations, or subrosa alliances and other machinations. Gamification of difficult, complex, real-world situations reinforces concepts, creates greater engagement, and provides multiple means of approaching course material as well as develops skills in speaking, writing, critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, and teamwork.

  • RBTS #2: Critical Reading and the Use of Lecture Outlines in Teaching Freshmen Classes

    Monday, November 4, 2019 at Noon — 1:00p

    Oconee Campus | SRC 581 Because of a scheduling conflict, Oconee participants will attend in Administration 108.
    Critical Reading is an essential skill for our students, yet we often spend little time on helping them develop it. The way one reads a particular text varies widely depending on content and audience and students often lack the skill set to read certain types of writing. To address this, lecture outlines have been developed for use with teaching General Chemistry courses to college freshmen. These outlines represent a first step in developing critical reading skills in the sciences and provide a template for students to incorporate textbook reading with in class material. They are designed to help the students organize the content, as well as, engage the textbook on their own. This presentation will introduce the concept of the lecture outlines and explore their effectiveness in teaching General Chemistry.

  • RBTS #3: Teaching Ethics Across Disciplines

    Monday, February 3, 2020 at Noon — 1:00p
    
    Led by: William Black

    Oconee Campus | SRC 581
    Many of us believe teaching ethics is important, but how do we know if we are making progress? The ARBC instrument (Action Research into Business Conduct) provides a measuring tool that can be used to diagnose current levels of perceptions about ethics, or used as a pretest / posttest evaluation of whether ethics instruction is effective. ARBC is a free online tool, created at the University of North Georgia that can support action research efforts to improve ethics instruction. The scenarios it asks participants to evaluate are drawn from common everyday situations that may have ethical implications. ARBC can be useful in contexts beyond business courses, for example in confirming assurance of learning measurements of progress towards ethics awareness goals.
    This session will illustrate how to use ARBC in ethics assessment, and provide examples of ongoing research that is being conducted using ARBC.

  • Friday Writing Session: From Literature Review to Research Question

    Friday, November 6, 2020 at Noon — 1:00p
    
    From Literature Review to Research Question
    Sometimes, we jump into a writing project with a clear research question already formed but not with a solid understanding of the existing literature. Sometimes, we know the existing literature but are not sure what our contribution to the discussion will be. How might you design an effective literature review that launches you into your research question? Together we'll brainstorm for an effective literature review that holds true across disciplines, support each other during the intellectually challenging process of writing a literature review, and leave with energy and knowledge of how to go from literature review to research question.

Our methods and methodologies are like hand-written directions, preparing us for our drive through our research and directing us to a clear destination. In other words, the method we choose and the methodology that guides our selection of method is foundational to an academic argument—no matter if you are an art historian or an organic chemist. In this Friday Writing Session, we will gather and talk through qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research design and look to John Creswell's Research Design to guide our time together.

    12 p.m. – 1 p.m.
    Zoom in D2L
    Color-Coding and Editing your Sentences
    Before sending the finished article to an editor for potential publication, we take time to look over our sentences, ironing out wrinkles in our prose, finding the missing comma—doing this sentence-level work. This Friday Writing Session will introduce participants to Wendy Belcher's technique found in her book Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks. Belcher talks through how to color-code various words in your text through the Microsoft Word advanced find and replace function. Participants are encouraged to have a digital copy of their text available during this session so they can start color-coding during the session and leave with clear direction on how to revise their sentences according to this color-coded scheme.

    Writing About Your Teaching
    Whenever you step into a classroom, you are stepping into a research moment. Instructors try new assignments, activities, and textbooks. Instructors adapt to new population of students, new course schedules, and new course deliveries. In this Friday Writing Session, we will draw from Mick Healey, Kelley Matthews, and Alison Cook-Sather's Writing About Teaching and Learning in Higher Education to frame our conversation. We will imagine (and then plan out!) how your teaching experiences might be the seeds of a future journal article, book chapter, or conference presentation.

    Zoom
    Framing a Literature Review
    Many journal articles and conference presentations are outright rejected because of "fit." This somewhat vague term often points to a writer not situating their unique contribution in literature of interest to the journal or conference. Before writers get to what they want to say, writers need to ground their work in what others have said. We will talk literature reviews in this Friday Writing Session: how to brainstorm them, draft them, refine them, and where to locate them in your writing. By looking at specific examples from a variety of disciplines, we will leave with a clearer sense of what you might need to accomplish to land an acceptance!

    Topic: Case Study Teaching Methods to Improve Student Learning
    Led by: Clayton Teem
    Case studies are used in many fields to enhance knowledge and application of subject matter. Yet, research suggests that many students do not learn as much from case studies because the students lack enough of an internal framework to understand the important points and detect meaningful data patterns; that is, students are relatively novice learners working towards a greater mastery of course material from professors who are comparative experts. This presentation will review some techniques to help students expand their understanding derived from case studies, e.g., "talking aloud," visual illustration of essential vs non-essential information, and using small team discussion forums
    RBTS seeks to support the work of faculty from all disciplines, colleges, and campuses by offering faculty presentations and workshops on best practices in teaching and learning. These workshops not only provide information and resources for faculty seeking to enhance their own pedagogical practices, but also give faculty an opportunity to present their work to peers. All sessions will be live on Zoom and video-recorded for archival purposes.

    Remember when you drove to a new place and wrote down directions so as to not get lost? Our methods and methodologies are like hand-written directions, preparing us for our drive through our research and directing us to a clear destination. In other words, the method we choose and the methodology that guides our selection of method is foundational to an academic argument—no matter if you are an art historian or an organic chemist. In this Friday Writing Session, we will gather and talk through qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research design and look to John Creswell's Research Design to guide our time together. And, of course, we will talk a little Institutional Review Board, which oversees human subject research!

    The anonymous feedback! If you want to publish academic writing, you will receive this kind of feedback. Someone, somewhere, read your writing and drafted feedback to you: what works, what didn't. Now the editors are asking that you revise accordingly. Be heartened! Revise and resubmit is a good first step toward publication. In this Friday Writing Session, we will use Wendy Belcher's Writing Your Journal Article in 12 Weeks to focus our talk on responding to feedback. We will specifically talk about how to read feedback, organize a revision plan, and draft a revision memo.

    Topic: Fostering Diversity and Inclusion in the Classroom through the Discussion of Visual Culture
    Led by: Ana Pozzi Harris
    Modeling a classroom activity applicable for all academic levels, this workshop will demonstrate the potential of using art images and images of visual culture to introduce discussions about diversity and inclusion as part of course content. Images used represent forms of identity, affirmation, social protest, and awareness about issues of the present day. The learning outcomes of this activity are for participants to connect learned information with their own social experiences of race and gender, and to collaborate with other participants to enrich their multicultural perspective.
    RBTS seeks to support the work of faculty from all disciplines, colleges, and campuses by offering faculty presentations and workshops on best practices in teaching and learning. These workshops not only provide information and resources for faculty seeking to enhance their own pedagogical practices, but also give faculty an opportunity to present their work to peers. All sessions will be live on Zoom and video-recorded for archival purposes.

    Topic: Supporting First-Year Students: Successes and Challenges of a New Mentorship Program
    Led by: Danielle Hartsfield and Royce Dansby-Sparks
    The Mentorship Affinity Group project is a new program aimed at facilitating informal mentor/mentee relationships between first-year Honors students and faculty. Workshop participants will learn 1) how the Mentorship Affinity Group program was implemented, 2) and the program's successes and challenges. The workshop will be informative to faculty, staff, and administrators who wish to increase faculty/student interaction, which could yield positive outcomes such as greater retention rates, academic achievement, and increased collaboration on research and creative activities.
    RBTS seeks to support the work of faculty from all disciplines, colleges, and campuses by offering faculty presentations and workshops on best practices in teaching and learning. These workshops not only provide information and resources for faculty seeking to enhance their own pedagogical practices, but also give faculty an opportunity to present their work to peers. All sessions will be live on Zoom and video-recorded for archival purposes.

    Topic: An Undergraduate Path from Questions to Conferences: Exploration of High-Impact Practice (HIP) Undergraduate Research in the Classroom and Beyond
    Speaker: Ralph Hale
    Scholarship is a defining pillar of academia, aiming to gain knowledge and understanding that can be shared with scientific peers, students, and the general public. In this program we will discuss how undergraduate students can get involved in research, a High-Impact Practice (HIP) recognized by the AAC&U. In the classroom, students can turn research questions into empirical designs capable of collecting data to test hypotheses. They then can analyze and interpret results within the context of the larger field and literature. Dissemination of findings can occur inside the classroom and beyond through oral presentation, research posters, conferences, manuscript drafting, and publication. Successful implementation across a range of student expertise levels will be discussed.

    Transformative Learning Theory integrates an individual's past frames of reference and provides insight into the adult learners' mindset. In this session, we will explore the use of the Bracketing exercise to identify assumptions regarding the content, which can serve as a valuable tool for instructors to gauge students' attitudes towards challenging courses, including those that are less enjoyable. Additionally, utilizing the Cognitive Cycle activity fosters a transformative environment that shifts perspective, supports classroom mental well-being, and cultivates student success.

    UNG Online Academic Alerts
    Speaker: Deanna Simonds, DETI
    The Online Student Success Team is committed to assisting faculty with student outreach regarding concerns for students enrolled in their UNG Online courses. The purpose of the Academic Alert system is to provide additional outreach, outside of the outreach conducted by instructors, to students who are not consistently logging into the course and/or completing assignments, who may need assistance with navigating the D2L environment or with the online learning format, or who may need additional UNG academic resources (Tutoring, Accessibility Services, etc.). The Academic Alert form is most effective if completed earlier in the semester when issues arise so we can encourage at-risk students to complete their coursework or to consider withdrawing from the class if they do not feel as though they will be able to successfully pass the course.

    Wednesday, November 12, 2025 at Noon — 1:00p

    Cloudy with a Chance of A's: Weathering the Storm of Grade Inflation & Academic Entitlement
    Speaker: Andrew Jakiel
    Grade inflation and academic entitlement have become growing concerns in higher education over the past decades. These factors continue to challenge the integrity of academic standards and place increased pressure on faculty who wish to maintain appropriate rigor within their curriculum but may fear the consequences of adhering to a stern approach. This workshop offers college faculty a critical space to examine the roots, consequences, and current trends surrounding the dangers of grade inflation and what has been historically defined as student academic entitlement.
    Participants will explore practical strategies to navigate student requests for grade changes, manage grade-related conflict with professionalism and empathy, and learn how to establish clear boundaries that uphold academic rigor while maintaining a student-centric approach in support of their university's mission and vision.

  • UNG Online Academic Alerts

    Monday, January 26, 2026 at Noon — 1:00p

    UNG Online Academic Alerts
    Speaker: Deanna Simonds, DETI
    The Online Student Success Team is committed to assisting faculty with student outreach regarding concerns for students enrolled in their UNG Online courses. The purpose of the Academic Alert system is to provide additional outreach, outside of the outreach conducted by instructors, to students who are not consistently logging into the course and/or completing assignments, who may need assistance with navigating the D2L environment or with the online learning format, or who may need additional UNG academic resources (Tutoring, Accessibility Services, etc.). The Academic Alert form is most effective if completed earlier in the semester when issues arise so we can encourage at-risk students to complete their coursework or to consider withdrawing from the class if they do not feel as though they will be able to successfully pass the course.

    Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, the idea of "AI ethical use" has been employed to sensibilize students to various problems tied to AI in academia. The goal is to inform them and acquaint them with responsible AI use. This presentation shows that the idea of "AI ethical use" is a mirage and the question of using AI responsibly is nonsensical. The goal of this presentation is to broaden our collective understanding of issues tied to AI, to move the needle from AI as an individual and individualistic tool, and to reconnect discussions about AI to the democratic goals of higher education. ��

    Do you want to deepen the learning of your students? Do you want to engage them? Do you want to connect classroom learning to real world events? If so, come play a game with us. Reacting to the past is a proven pedagogy involving immersive role-playing games centered on real historical events such as the American Revolution and climate change negotiations in Copenhagen. In each game, students take on the role of a real person with clear objectives. To "win", the students must collaborate, communicate, strategize, and think critically. In this one-day workshop you will have the opportunity to play and experience a Reacting to the Past game with your faculty colleagues. We will also discuss how writing and oral assignments from the games can be incorporated into your course.
