Presented at Sloan-C Blended, Milwaukee, WI, July 8th, 2013
With the increase in the diffusion of blended and online programming across higher educational institutions, stakeholders are looking for ways to ensure the quality of the student experience. Quality of blended programs can be ensured through faculty and instructional development and training, faculty and instructor evidence of competence and recognition for excellence, constructive evaluation and feedback on blended and online course design and delivery, and community-building opportunities among instructors and staff. Blended learning is becoming a prominent mode of programming and delivery in education. It is swiftly emerging and transforming higher education to better meet the needs of our students providing them with more effective learning experiences. This movement is leading to a renovation in the way courses are taught and programs support their students. Instructional and faculty development provides the core foundation to institutional programming in providing a framework for implementing blended and online learning pedagogy in the classroom. This student-centered, active learning pedagogy has the potential to alter the traditional classroom by enhancing course effectiveness through increased interactivity leading to superior student outcomes.
A recent study reported that "Respondents ... anticipated that the number of students taking online courses will grow by 22.8% and that those taking blended courses will grow even more over the next 2 years" (Picciano, Seamen, Shea, & Swan, 2012, p. 128). As the demand for blended learning opportunities increases, so does the need for development of instructors to teach and design blended courses and mechanisms to ensure the quality of courses and programs. The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (UWM) has been providing instructional development and blended learning opportunities to students for over a decade. Since 2001, UWM has developed 8 blended degree programs. In the fall of 2012, UWM offered approximately 100 blended courses and enrolled 7,655 students (26%) in at least one blended course. UWM continues to see growth, as the nation does, and continues to provide opportunities for students to best meet their needs.
Best practices are defined as strategies, activities or approaches that have been shown through research and evaluation to be effective and / or efficient.
Benchmarking is the process of learning by making comparisons.

Foundations for sustaining learning-centered practicesStephen C. Ehrmann
Learning-centered practices such as learning communities, capstone courses, studio courses, ePortfolio initiatives and service learning have remained at the margins, sparkling and fading over the years. In addition to developing such practices directly, institutions of higher education need also to promote conditions that will allow learning-centered education to flourish and become the new normal. This presentation at the 2015 Lilly Conference in Bethesda MD outlined seven such foundations, ranging from specific kinds of leadership to specific kinds of support services. The session, lasting 75 minutes, was highly interactive and the slides include some notes taken during the session, in blue.
LTS Lunch 27 Jan 10 - Tools for Learning Designaewp2
__What is Learning Design?
The focus of course designers is often first on covering the requisite ground in a logical structure, second on developing the best possible explications of difficult areas, and only third on lighting a fire of inquiry in their students. This fire is nourished when students are involved and challenged, stifled when they are passive recipients of knowledge. Planning how learning will happen needs as much consideration and care as what will be learned.
__Design Tools
Modern technology can be integrated in teaching to give new flexibility in teaching styles, whether at the level of activities, courses or whole programmes. It also provides tools to help us extract the benefits of that flexibility:
- by making the pedagogical structure more visible and explicit to students and planners, thereby promoting understanding and reflection
- by serving as a description or template to be collaborated on, adapted and reused
- by sharing best practices and understanding between those involved in design and teaching
__Course Tools
CARET's Course Tools project is developing easy-to-use web tools for fast and flexible access to course information and planning at Cambridge. I will briefly introduce the Lecture Explorer and Oxford's Phoebe.
__Learning Design Initiative
CARET is partnering with the OU to develop “a learning design methodology and suite of practical tools and resources that bridge between good pedagogic practice and effective use of new technologies”; broadly structured around understanding the curriculum design process, supporting collaborative design, offering support such as case studies, course templates and ‘best practice’ checklists, visualising designs in various ways, and sharing the results. I will introduce CompendiumLD and Cloudworks.

Certainly! Here's an overview of the pros and cons of using infographics:
Pros of Infographics:
Visual Appeal: Infographics are visually engaging and can quickly grab the attention of viewers. They use colors, icons, illustrations, and typography to present information in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Simplifies Complex Information: Infographics are effective at simplifying complex data or concepts. They can condense large amounts of information into easily understandable and digestible visuals, making it easier for viewers to grasp the main points.
Enhances Retention and Comprehension: Visual elements in infographics help enhance information retention and comprehension. By combining text with visuals, infographics engage both the visual and verbal parts of the brain, making it easier for viewers to remember and understand the content.
Increases Information Sharing: Infographics are highly shareable on social media platforms, blogs, websites, and presentations. Their visual appeal makes them more likely to be shared, increasing the reach and visibility of the information or message being conveyed.
Grabs Attention in a Time-Efficient Manner: In today's fast-paced world, infographics can quickly convey key information within seconds or a few glances. They are ideal for capturing the attention of busy viewers who may be scanning through content.
Cons of Infographics:
Simplification Can Lead to Oversimplification: While infographics excel at simplifying complex information, there is a risk of oversimplification. Important nuances and details may be left out in favor of brevity, potentially leading to a loss of accuracy or depth.
Design Challenges: Creating visually appealing and effective infographics requires design skills or access to design tools. Without the necessary design expertise, infographics may not be as impactful or well-executed.
Limited Amount of Information: Due to their visual nature, infographics have limited space to convey information. They are best suited for presenting high-level or summary data, rather than detailed or comprehensive information.
Dependency on Visual Appeal: Infographics heavily rely on visual elements to communicate information. If the visuals are not well-designed or fail to engage viewers, the effectiveness of the infographic may be diminished.
Potential Misinterpretation: Misinterpretation can occur if the information presented in the infographic is not clear, accurate, or properly labeled. Viewers may draw incorrect conclusions or misunderstand the data if it is not presented with clarity and accuracy.
Overall, infographics are a powerful tool for presenting information in a visually appealing and easily understandable format. While they have numerous benefits, it's important to carefully design and present the information to ensure accuracy, clarity, and effectiveness.

Motivation refers to the internal or external factors that drive and energize individuals to take action, set goals, and persist in achieving them. It plays a crucial role in personal and professional growth, productivity, and overall well-being. Here are some key aspects of motivation:
Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation: Motivation can be categorized into two types: intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic motivation comes from within and is driven by personal satisfaction, enjoyment, or a sense of fulfillment. Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, comes from external rewards or incentives such as recognition, money, or praise.
Needs and Goals: Motivation often arises from needs and goals. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs suggests that individuals are motivated by a progression of needs, starting from basic physiological needs (e.g., food, shelter) to higher-level needs such as belongingness, self-esteem, and self-actualization. Setting clear and meaningful goals that align with these needs can provide direction and drive motivation.
Self-Determination Theory: Self-Determination Theory proposes that intrinsic motivation is fostered by three psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy refers to the need for control and choice in one's actions, competence is the need to feel capable and effective, and relatedness is the need for social connections and belongingness.
Goal Setting: Setting specific, challenging, and achievable goals is a powerful motivator. Goals provide a clear target, create a sense of purpose, and help individuals track their progress. Implementing strategies like SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals can enhance motivation and increase the likelihood of success.
Positive Reinforcement: Positive reinforcement involves providing rewards, recognition, or praise for desired behaviors or achievements. It can enhance motivation by reinforcing positive actions and outcomes, making individuals more likely to continue those behaviors.
Growth Mindset: Adopting a growth mindset, as proposed by psychologist Carol Dweck, can enhance motivation. A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and perseverance. It encourages embracing challenges, seeing failures as learning opportunities, and persisting in the face of setbacks.
Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific tasks or situations. When individuals have a high level of self-efficacy, they are more motivated to take on challenges, exert effort, and persevere, leading to increased performance and achievement.
Environment and Support: The environment and social support play a significant role in motivation. Creating a supportive and positive environment, fostering collaboration and teamwork, providing feedback and constructive criticism, and offering resources and opportunities for growth can enhance motivation and en

Extrinsic motivation, on the other hand, comes from external rewards or incentives such as recognition, money, or praise.
Needs and Goals: Motivation often arises from needs and goals. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs suggests that individuals are motivated by a progression of needs, starting from basic physiological needs (e.g., food, shelter) to higher-level needs such as belongingness, self-esteem, and self-actualization. Setting clear and meaningful goals that align with these needs can provide direction and drive motivation.
Self-Determination Theory: Self-Determination Theory proposes that intrinsic motivation is fostered by three psychological needs: autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Autonomy refers to the need for control and choice in one's actions, competence is the need to feel capable and effective, and relatedness is the need for social connections and belongingness.
Goal Setting: Setting specific, challenging, and achievable goals is a powerful motivator. Goals provide a clear target, create a sense of purpose, and help individuals track their progress. Implementing strategies like SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals can enhance motivation and increase the likelihood of success.
Positive Reinforcement: Positive reinforcement involves providing rewards, recognition, or praise for desired behaviors or achievements. It can enhance motivation by reinforcing positive actions and outcomes, making individuals more likely to continue those behaviors.
Growth Mindset: Adopting a growth mindset, as proposed by psychologist Carol Dweck, can enhance motivation. A growth mindset is the belief that abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort, learning, and perseverance. It encourages embracing challenges, seeing failures as learning opportunities, and persisting in the face of setbacks.
Self-Efficacy: Self-efficacy refers to an individual's belief in their ability to succeed in specific tasks or situations. When individuals have a high level of self-efficacy, they are more motivated to take on challenges, exert effort, and persevere, leading to increased performance and achievement.
Environment and Support: The environment and social support play a significant role in motivation. Creating a supportive and positive environment, fostering collaboration and teamwork, providing feedback and constructive criticism, and offering resources and opportunities for growth can enhance motivation and en

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Notes on use:
These slides have been produced as a resource for Schools and Colleges to draw upon when preparing local briefing events for experienced or continuing personal tutors or student support team staff.
Rather than provide a comprehensive overview of the personal tutor system and other work to enhance student support more generally this presentation highlights resources linked to specific aspects of the personal tutor role and student support. Many of these resources have been produced and updated over the last three years linked to the introduction and evaluation of the Personal Tutor system and associated support (eg School Student Support Teams).
There is no requirement for Schools to use these slides and they are free to adapt and tailor the content to local requirements.
This is particularly important for topics like group meetings where different Schools will have arrangements and approaches tailored to local circumstances.
A second set of slides, designed for new personal tutor briefings, is also available. This provides additional information on the overall aims and objectives of the personal tutor system as a whole. It also clarifies the roles and responsibilities of all those involved (staff and students).
#####We have deliberately kept the formatting very simple so that slides can be formatted locally. The presentation (and any updates) is available for download from the Senior Tutor wiki <https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/PESS/Senior+Tutor+Network>. #####
Please contact Jon Turner (j.d.turner@ed.ac.uk) if you require any additional or alternative materials or contributions to local events.
Each slide includes suggested text to accompany the slides and some additional notes for the presenter.
Jon Turner, updated August 2015
Accompanying text:
A new University website has been launched for the start of the new academic year (September 2015) for Personal Tutors, Student Support Officers and other colleagues providing academic and pastoral support for students.
And an equivalent site has been launched for students.
These sites are intended to complement the documentation and contacts provided within individual Schools.
This includes School personal tutor statements that are the key reference point for local arrangements.
Accompanying text:
Students have significant responsibilities as part of the Personal Tutor system. There are benefits for them but in order to get the most out of this they need to engage and work in partnership with their personal tutors and Student Support Teams.
The core purposes for students are set out on the slide. The benefits for students have been outlined as:
“Personal Tutor System - Benefits for Students
Your Personal Tutor and the wider support network will work with you in partnership as you:
Become a confident learner in your discipline and play an active part in your academic community
Develop and reflect on the range of graduate attributes required for success at University and beyond
Meet the challenges and opportunities of University life.”
Studies have shown that students get most benefit from academic and support arrangements when they take an active role in it.
It is therefore worth encouraging students to be proactive in preparing for meetings with their personal tutors. The IAD have put together some templates and suggestions for students on how they might approach this and these links, or other guidance, could be sent to students in advance of meetings (particularly the first one of the year or if the meeting has a specific theme – eg career planning).
The IT tools which support the personal tutor system also enable students to write and keep records of relevant meetings and students can be encouraged to do this by their personal tutors. Students will access the tools via MyEd and staff via Euclid. Guidance on writing records and confidentiality is being provided for students and staff via a standard paragraph in the School Personal Tutoring Statement.
Accompanying text:
1:1 meetings provide an opportunity for the personal tutor and student to have a conversation that is tailored to the individual student’s needs. These will vary depending, for example, on the year of study and time of year. As well as focussing on the core academic and broader guidance purposes of personal tutor meetings 1:1 meetings provide an opportunity to address any student concerns and discuss the student’s overall progress.
In many cases the quality of the meeting will be improved by encouraging students to take the leading in preparing for and writing up a note of the meeting outcomes. Guidance for students on how to prepare for their personal tutor meeting (particularly at the start of the academic year) is available on the undergraduate section of the IAD website.
The staff facing, academic and pastoral support section of the IAD website contains a series of resources that personal tutors can refer to, print out or adapt with advice on different approaches to planning and running 1:1 meetings, including an aide memoire of topics that could be used at different points in a student’s degree programme.
Accompanying text:
There is considerable flexibility in how different Schools use group meetings, in timing, topic and structure.
Group meetings have several advantages over 1:1 meetings in terms of efficiency, the richness of discussion that can take place in a group setting and in encouraging student autonomy and peer support.
Group meetings can also be used to address a range of different topics or themes, for example in preparing students for specific elements of their degree programme (e.g. placements, year abroad), to deal more effectively and efficiently with specific topics relevant to several or many students (e.g. particularly study skills, exam preparation, feedback). And it may be appropriate to work with other tutors or with student services in planning or running some of these sessions.
Group meetings may also provide opportunities to work with other personal tutors to bring students together across different year groups or in support of specific cohorts (e.g. students registered on joint degree programmes).
Guidance for personal tutors on planning and running group meetings, including more adventurous approaches are available on the Personal Tutor website. This contains a series of resources that personal tutors can refer to, print out or adapt.
Notes for presenter:
Plans for group meetings vary from School to School – this slide will probably need to be tailored to local circumstances
Accompanying text:
Several examples of how meetings with individual or groups of students can be developed or used to address different topics.
These include material that can be used or adapted to facilitate discussion around approaches to study, looking ahead to future employment or study, and reflecting on student feedback and assessment.
Further information and links are provided on the next two slides.
Note for speakers:
There’s no expectation here that all personal tutors will use all or many of these different approaches. Instead there’s an opportunity to encourage personal tutors and other colleagues to investigate these approaches to see if there are particularly approaches that appeal to them as a good fit to their students and other arrangements locally. These materials can all be accessed from the training and resources section of the staff Personal Tutor website (http://www.ed.ac.uk/staff-students/staff/supporting-students/home)
Accompanying text:
The IAD have produced a set of resources, templates and worksheets that can be used (or better still adapted to include subject-based examples or local context) in 1:1 meetings or group meetings to support a range of topics linked to study skills and how students approach their studies. This includes material on how to make the most of University lectures (a very different experience to their school education for many students), note taking, time management and understanding feedback and assessment methods.
The Careers Service have developed a section of their website for personal tutors. This includes suggestions for how meetings with students (1:1 or group) can be used to prepare students for their future employment and careers. There is a section designed for those working with taught masters students and a section designed for those working with undergraduates. Both highlight the sorts of topics that students should be considered and the support they may need at different points in the academic year and their academic career. The website also includes related prompts for meetings and resources for students.
Accompanying text:
A consideration of what is meant by Graduate Attributes and how these develop through University study and broader co- and extra-curricular activities can play an important role in the Personal Tutor relationship and meetings.
Graduate Attributions can be used as starting point with students:
- in reflecting on academic performance;
- in reflecting on how formal and informal learning contributes to longer-term aspirations;
- in engaging as a member of a community of learners.
Exploring achievements, challenges, goals and plans in relation to Graduate Attributes can help ensure productive and useful discussions at all stages of University life.
Gavin McCabe (University employability consultant) has added a section to the IAD website that provides an introduction to graduate attributes for staff and students, along with sample session plans and suggestions for how graduate attributes could be used in group meetings
The IAD case study wiki contains several examples from different Schools that looks at approaches that are being taken locally to personal tutor arrangements and other student support.
This includes an example from PPLS where questionnaires are being used to prepare students for semester 2 personal tutor meetings. This helps to support student reflection and preparation in advance of personal tutor meetings focussed on specific topics (e.g. feedback & assessment, career planning, looking towards honours). https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/casestudies/PPLS+-+Questionnaires+in+Semester+2+One-to-One+Meetings
There is a case study on the approach to group meetings taken in law which are based around a plenary with a key speaker talking for 30 minutes followed by small group breakouts with students and Personal Tutors for 20-30 minutes over tea and cake. Themes for the meeting topics vary depending on year group and semester (eg Year 3 students were gathered in a group meeting on the theme: 'preparing and submitting your dissertation proposal‘). https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/casestudies/Law+-+Group+Meetings
Other case studies include the way in which the student support team in physics & astronomy has developed its use of IT tools for student support and the Personal Tutor (PT) system to effectively support students and staff (https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/casestudies/Physics+-+Tools+for+Student+Support); and the The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies House system, designed to facilitate listening to students and building communities (https://www.wiki.ed.ac.uk/display/casestudies/Veterinary+Studies+-+School+House+System)
Additional case studies are being collected and added throughout the year.
Accompanying text:
Personal Tutors and School Student Support Teams can call upon a range of specialist University Support Services for information, guidance and support, both for you and for your students. This will include consideration of information for staff and students, referral arrangements and opportunities for partnership (e.g. CPD for personal tutors and student support staff, contributions to group meetings, resources for students, personal tutors and student support teams).
Included on this slide are links for four of the services that come up most frequently – disability, counselling, careers and IAD, along with an AtoZ of all resources and a link to an excellent guide on how to help distressed students produced by the Student Disability Service and Student Counselling Service.
The Students’ Association (EUSA) Advice Place provides a year-round, free, confidential and independent advice and information service for all students at the University. The Advice Place covers a wide range of areas including finance and funding, accommodation and tenancy, harassment and academic issues (including guidance and support on issues linked to students’ academic progress including academic appeals, special circumstances and cases of plagiarism or other academic misconduct). Students can drop in anytime or make appointments by phone or email.
Notes for presenter:
Specifics will vary from School to School. This slide has been left blank for Schools to add details of local arrangements as appropriate
