This document summarizes efforts to build Chinese language and cultural education programs in Oklahoma through various partnerships and exchange initiatives. It discusses how the Confucius Institute and Oklahoma Institute for Teaching East Asia work to enhance international mindedness in communities by improving schools, providing professional development for educators, and offering cultural enrichment opportunities like study tours. Over 5,000 Oklahoma students now study Chinese in 44 schools taught by resident and visiting Chinese teachers. School-to-school exchange programs have involved over 400 students annually. The results of these efforts have been the establishment of new Chinese language programs, student exchanges, and teacher exchanges in many Oklahoma schools.

The document summarizes the Students and Faculty in the Archives (SAFA) program, a partnership between Brooklyn Historical Society and three local colleges. SAFA uses primary sources from the archives to teach first-year undergraduate students document analysis, information literacy, and critical thinking skills. Over three years, SAFA involved over 1,100 students in 63 courses with visits to the archives. Evaluations found SAFA students had stronger observation skills, understood history as complex, and performed better academically than non-SAFA students. A new website, TeachArchives.org, will share exercises and best practices from the SAFA program.
The document discusses the role and importance of reflection in online learning. It describes how reflection promotes constructivist and social learning by allowing learners to think critically about their experiences. Reflection can take various forms, including individual self-reflection through journals or blogs, and collaborative reflection through group discussions. The document also provides strategies for instructors to promote reflection, such as asking learners to discuss past experiences and modeling reflective practices. When implemented effectively, reflection can help transform students into reflective practitioners and support lifelong learning.
New Models for Credit-Bearing Information Literacy Coursesleederk
This document summarizes a webinar on new models for credit-bearing information literacy courses. The webinar included presentations from librarians at Boise State University and University at Buffalo. At Boise State, the library course evolved from a self-paced online course to include collaborative projects between the library and writing program. A key collaboration was the PoWeR program, which paired the library course with a writing course. Assessment found student research skills improved through this collaboration. At Buffalo, the library course uses case studies and has expanded to include discipline-specific sections to target different academic programs. The webinar discussed factors driving changes in library instruction and different approaches to credit-bearing information literacy courses.

This workshop consists of practice-based research planning activities to help you prepare for conducting research at the course or program level. Specifically, we will utilize the distance education research model developed by the National Research Center for Distance Education and Technological Advancements (DETA) to guide the development of research plans for blended and online. Attendees will walk away with a research agenda and the necessary tools to help them conduct research on their campus as part of the National DETA Research Center initiative.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) established a National Distance Education and Technological Advancement (DETA) Research Center in 2014 to conduct cross-institutional data collection with 2-year and 4-year Institutions of Higher Education (IHEs) funded by the U.S. Department of Education Fund for Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE). UWM has partnered with the University of Wisconsin System, UW-Extension, Milwaukee Area Technical College (MATC), EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI), and leaders across the nation to develop a research model. This model is to promote student access and success through evidence-based online learning practices and learning technologies.
The DETA Center looks to identify and evaluate effective course and institutional practices in online learning (including competency-based education) for underrepresented individuals (i.e., economically disadvantaged, adult learners, disabled) through rigorous research. Furthermore, although the research currently is focused on postsecondary U.S. institutions, the DETA Center looks to advance their work in K-12 and internationally -- all are welcome!
This workshop will prepare attendees to take a plan back to their own institution to successfully gather research on blended and online teaching and learning.

Online education is growing rapidly and is becoming more prevalent. Natural resources faculty should welcome online education for several reasons:
1) Online education is already present at many institutions and continues to grow significantly each year. It is not going away and will only become more widespread.
2) Research shows that online education can be as effective as traditional face-to-face education when done well, and may provide benefits such as increased flexibility, interaction and engagement for students.
3) Online education provides an opportunity for faculty to improve and transform their teaching through new pedagogical approaches and technologies. It encourages reflection on best practices and innovation.
While online education requires effort, it allows institutions and faculty to better meet

This document discusses the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and how it was implemented at a school called OAE. The EPQ allows students to demonstrate skills like planning, researching, time management and evaluation. It is offered at Levels 2 and 3. At OAE, students chose topics of interest and went through stages of planning, researching, producing an outcome, and presenting. They were assessed on managing the project, using resources, developing and realizing the project, and reviewing it. The document explains how the EPQ was run at OAE over multiple years, including timetabled lessons and support provided.

It provides examples of how archivists currently teach classes through visits to archives or seminars they teach. However, most archivists feel unprepared to teach. There is increased demand from faculty and students to integrate primary sources into courses. While museum educators are better at interpretation and facilitation, archives have better access to materials. The document advocates learning teaching techniques from museum educators and provides an example of a successful grant project that partnered an archive with local colleges to bring over 1,100 students into the archives. It also introduces new primary source literacy guidelines for teaching with archival materials.
