Community Building 2.0: Using Piazza to Encourage Student Rapport Outside the...Rebekah Bennetch
Ā
Community can provide a powerful context for learning, whether itās found in a physical or virtual environment (Bickford and Wright 2006). When it comes to building an online community in our classrooms, is Blackboard our only option? Piazza offers a better, more engaging choice. Piazza is a Web 2.0 social learning platform that helps students interact with their instructor and peers in a casual online format. Piazzaās creator, Pooja Sankar, started the service in 2011 out of the need for a āvirtual place, a virtual piazza where people could come together and get unstuck.āThe website functions as a type of online study hall, where students (and instructors) can post questions and share resources.
Iāve been using Piazza in my courses for the last year, and have found it to be a useful tool in strengthening the relationships not only between students and myself, but also in cultivating rapport in student-to-student interactions. My presentation discusses the Piazza platform, highlighting a few of the experiences Iāve had with it over the last 12 months.
A group of 90 (current count) American colleges have joined together in creating a new online application and tools that will debut this spring. This webinar will provide an overview of the new Coalition Application platform to help high school counselors better understand how this instrument should be used. Our panel discussion will include a range of perspectives and viewpoints about this new instrument and its potential impact on our work with students. We hope you will join us on April 13 for this important topic.

Working with students to make the most of digital - Jisc Digifest 2016Jisc
Ā
We know how important it is to engage learners in designing their digital learning experience, but how can universities and colleges make this work in practice, and at scale?
Participants will have the opportunity of hearing from two institutional case studies on student digital partnerships.
The session will help you reflect on where you are with your studentsā digital experience, and plan your next steps.
Presented at LOEX 2017 with Trudi Jacobson
Librarians and faculty members from three institutions collaborated to adapt a metaliteracy Digital Citizen badge for use with graduate literacy education students. The multi-faceted goal is not only for these students to affirm their roles as digital citizens, but also to actively teach and model such citizenship to their prospective students. This grant-funded project, which adapts content from an existing metaliteracy badging system, incorporates mechanisms to encourage a community of users, and serves as a model for collaborations with faculty across various disciplines.
In this session, project collaborators will briefly introduce metaliteracy (metaliteracy.org), provide an overview of the badging system (metaliteracybadges.org), and discuss the components added for this project, and mechanisms that worked well for collaborating. We are not only concerned with collaboration within the grant team; we also built components that will encourage educators to create open access learning objects for an Educators Corner and an Educators Conference.
Drawing from expertise as co-creators and researchers in initiatives such as the new ACRL Information Literacy Framework and the Connecting Credentials (connectingcredentials.org) and Global Learning Qualifications Frameworks (funded by the Lumina Foundation), we have worked together to create a robust resource that will be available to every SUNY institution, and, ultimately, to interested institutions beyond SUNY. We encourage participants to actively engage in the presentation by contributing ideas for badging opportunities based on your own professional development and curricular goals to an open forum in the Educators Corner.

Empowering Students to Tell Your Institution's StoryMeg Bernier
Ā
As content strategists, we are constantly seeking creative ways to tell our institutionās story in print publications, on the web and across social media. Our audiences donāt want to (and wonāt) read marketing jargon and mission statements because they crave authentic, transparent and honest content they can trust, relate to and believe in. The beautiful thing about higher education is we have thousands of people on our campuses who are not just living our institutionās story ā they are the story. Why not harness the power within that?
When you encourage students to share their stories in their own voice and own way, they feel valued and, more importantly, know their experiences matter. This session showcases the benefits of heavy student involvement in the work we do and why itās important to start building this relationship now.
-Learn how to engage students in ways that earn their trust and foster more sharing.
-Discover opportunities where you can inspire your students to tell their stories in ways that align with your institutionās content strategy.
-Develop ways to make user-generated content just as valuable to those creating it as it is to us and our institution.
