00:14:32 anapairet: Hi, I’m Ana Pairet from French. Thanks for organizing this webinar! 00:14:46 Danyel Ferrari: Hi Ana! 00:15:16 Jillian Toczylowski: Hi Ana! I hope you are having a nice summer. 00:15:57 William Welty: Hey everyone 00:16:21 Rebecca Givan: Check out the results of our remote teaching survey online here: https://www.rutgersaaup.org/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2020/08/Remote-Teaching-Survey-Results-and-Actions.pdf 00:16:23 Emily Wallis Hughes: Hi, thanks for organizing this! I’m Emily, PTL from English, Creative Writing Program. 00:16:55 Danyel Ferrari: Hi Emily! Thanks for being here 00:17:05 William Welty: I'm a postdoc with the writing program. 00:17:06 Emily Wallis Hughes: Hey! 00:18:07 Danyel Ferrari: I everyone I am Danyel Ferrari A phD in Media Studies who helped coordinate this series - I will be help Jeffery Lawrence collect questions for Sue, Darrin and his team in Chemistry 00:18:23 Danyel Ferrari: (Excuse the typos) 00:18:44 Alysse Moldawer: Hi, thank you for hosting this event! I am a PhD student from the Anthropology dept, and a TA-A for Writing Program Expository Writing 00:18:51 Emily Wallis Hughes: I love Jacob’s zoom photo 00:19:17 Marc: Hi everyone! Marc Muñiz here from CIRC and Chemistry & Chemical Biology. 00:19:24 Jacob Chaffin: lol thank you! 00:19:24 Dr. Héba Salem: Hello everyone, 00:19:30 Jeffrey Lawrence: Hi all, I’m Jeff Lawrence, I’m a rep for the English Dept. and I’ll be collecting questions with Danyel 00:19:36 sara: Good morning everyone! I am a CJ/Crim doctorate student and am teaching contemporary policing. 00:19:45 Dr. Héba Salem: I am Heba, and I am teaching Graduate ELL. 00:19:58 Christopher Corbo: Hi all! I’m Chris Corbo, a PhD Candidate in English and an instructor in the Writing Program this fall 00:20:22 Serena D: Hi, I am Serena, I am teaching expository writing and intro stats 00:20:32 Hoon Kim: Hi, everyone. Hoon Kim here from Spanish and Portuguese. Teaching instructor, grammar/composition/conversation courses. 00:20:36 ariachiodo: Hi, I'm Aria, an adjunct, about to teach my third semester of Expository Writing 00:20:44 Rebecca Givan: https://www.rutgersaaup.org/ 00:21:34 Rebecca Givan: https://www.rutgersaaup.org/wp-content/uploads/securepdfs/2020/08/Remote-Teaching-Survey-Results-and-Actions.pdf 00:38:18 William Welty: I'm going to have to restart. My audio keeps cutting out. 00:38:41 susan schurman: Bloom levels refer to Bloom's taxonomy which proposes a hierarchy of cognitive complexity. 00:39:34 Kathleen Shannon: Thanks, Susan. Much obliged! 00:51:56 Emily Wallis Hughes: Darrin, did you try both assigned and student chosen groups — or how did you form those? 01:00:10 Erin Kelly: Will the slides be available afterward? I’d like to return to the slide on reducing cognitive load. 01:00:12 Emily Wallis Hughes: It’s also fun to arrange groups by astrological signs (different signs in each group). I find students enjoy it — just for a temporary group, not the whole semester. 01:01:01 Jeffrey Lawrence: Erin, I’ll make a note of that. I imagine Darrin can provide them. 01:01:08 Jessie Curtis: Yes that sounds like a good way to learn about students too! 01:01:38 Danyel Ferrari: Thats a really fun idea, Emily! 01:02:01 Emily Wallis Hughes: Hah thanks Danyel 01:10:27 sara: This is great info and I really appreciate this presentation. It seems as this approach is possibly a bit more technical than I am able follow and a bit overwhelming for those of us who are beginners in the teaching field (I'm a doctorate student who has never taught before). Is there anyway to simplify this approach, esp for those of us in the social sciences? As an added complication, I am a doctorate student who doesn't have ample time to create such innovative exercises for the students. Any helpful suggestions that would maximize impact with minimal effort? Anything most important to focus on? 01:11:23 Fatemeh Hafizi: I would like to have a copy of slides as I was struggling to connect for part of the presentation. 01:12:14 Erin Kelly: Similar question to Sarah’s: it seems like deliberately crafting learning groups is a big help that requires minimal intervention. Could you go into more detail about crafting a “balanced” group? 01:13:15 Erin Kelly: (I say this as someone who has tried creating opportunities for online student interaction— a discussion board, group assignments & peer review— with limited success) 01:13:18 kelly: Right—thanks, Jeff. I would love some practical workshops for that, as my computer knowledge is very remedial! Like which platforms to use, how to integrate them, etc. 01:14:48 Marc: @Sara and Erin: I think that low-barrier, high-impact practices are key to making this work in a practical way. One of the best resources out there is “Small Teaching Online” by Flower Darby. They have discpline-agnostic recommendations. 01:15:06 Erin Kelly: Thanks @Marc! 01:15:13 Marc: Examples of such practices: 1). Using existing, but well-developed, multimedia resources 01:15:13 Emily Wallis Hughes: Thanks Marc! 01:16:13 Marc: 2). Ensuring those multimedia resources align with evidence-baed design principles (minimizing cognitive load; each segment of video under 10 min. etc.; built-in opportunities for students to reflect on content material embedded within such multimedia. 01:16:57 Marc: 3). Setting class norms for communication and collaboration early on, and ensuring that the norms are inclusive and agreed to by the students. 01:17:17 sara: Many thanks, everyone, for your patience with my newness and ignorance. This exchange of ideas is most helpful! 01:18:11 Marc: No problem! 01:19:02 Marc: “Small Teaching Online” is available as an e-Book at the Rutgers libraries. Here is the link if you want to buy a copy on Amazon or something: https://www.amazon.com/Small-Teaching-Online-Applying-Learning-ebook/dp/B07SD7FJZ7/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2AHF1MPMOZI53&dchild=1&keywords=small+teaching+online&qid=1597854542&s=books&sprefix=small+teaching+online%2Caps%2C151&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExSlgwUEtQNEw5WjNXJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzgwNTQzMUdHVk9PNVVHN0dYUCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNDY0Mjk5MVJNSzY3SVoxNThMSiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= 01:19:10 Emily Wallis Hughes: Quick follow up question: Darrin do you keep the same small groups for the full semester, or change it up? 01:20:18 Emily Wallis Hughes: I think this can be helpful in the remote environment even with a “small” class of 20 (which is still big for my field) 01:20:46 Marc: @Emily: switching up the groups can be productive as a means of refining or adjusting 01:20:56 Marc: There can be problems with student affect though 01:21:17 Marc: Some students really develop a strong intellectual connection with their group members, so it’s a balance 01:21:51 Emily Wallis Hughes: Yeah true, Marc, for sure 01:23:26 Erin Kelly: Any recommendation on learning group size (keeping in mind that my classes are more like 25 students, not 400…)? 01:25:23 Jeffrey Lawrence: The next two webinars in the series will discuss digital and disability access issues and course building. On August 21 (click here to RSVP), we will explore how faculty can respond to disability access needs in remote learning with researchers and staff from Rutgers, and Drs. Vikki Katz and Amy Jordan, faculty in the School of Communication and Information, will discuss what they learned by surveying more than 3,000 undergraduates about remote learning, and how faculty, departments, and the university can best support students' learning as we move into a remote fall (see their op-ed on the subject here). On August 24 (click here to RSVP), Dr. Mary Chayko, director of the Digital Communication, Information, and Media minor and of the Gender and Media minor at the School of Communication and Information, and education technology specialist Chris Nesi will lead a discussion on using different technologies in remote learning and the benefits of synchronous and asynchronous remote instruction. 01:25:26 Jessie Curtis: In my classes the size of the group depends on the project and how many projects I can look at. 01:26:03 Marc: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/personality-quiz/ 01:26:12 Marc: ^some folks might find this to be of interest 01:26:13 Erin Kelly: Thank you Darrin and everyone! 01:26:21 Bridget Lepore: thank you! 01:26:24 sara: THANKS!! 01:26:25 Darrin York: Thanks everyone! 01:26:25 Marc: Thanks folks! 01:26:35 Xiao (Kate) Li: Thanks! 01:27:02 roger: thanks
