We were ecstatic to have Dr. Annika Konrad come to Saint Mary’s to talk to faculty and staff about access, pedagogy, and interdependence. There was great discussion and many takeaways from the talk and workshop. But if you missed them, you can now see the recordings on our recordings page, or click “read more” to see them here! You do have to be logged in to your smumn.edu Canvas account to access the recordings.
Access Services, Integratus, and the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching will be welcoming Dr. Annika Konrad of Dartmouth College for a virtual talk on March 24 at 12:15pm and a virtual workshop for faculty on March 25 at 2pm. Both events will be on Zoom. The title of her talk will be, “Learning from Stories of Access Fatigue: Building Interdependence into Pedagogical Design”.
If you were not able to attend the Fall Faculty Conference on September 12, or if you did attend and wanted to review the recording, it is now available here on the CELT website.
Need flexible assignments that help students to demonstrate learning? A podcast assignment might be worth exploring.
CELT is planning two workshops this week targeted primarily at Winona faculty. One is on dealing with virtual attendance and the other is on trauma-informed teaching.
Saint Marys’ mission states that we prepare students for lives of ethical service and leadership, and in the Leadership PLC the last few semesters, Dr. Scott Sorvaag has been guiding us in thinking about how we use and interpret leadership in higher education. (One of his continual reminders is that leadership is a form of energy — hence the picture for this post.) As part of our PLC, we reviewed some offerings by the International Leadership Association, including this list of Leadership Activities one can include in virtually any class.
