Presenter: Deb Adair (Executive Director – Quality Matters)
Overview:
QM is an organization that takes a hard look at the quality of online and blended learning courses and programs and seeks to support faculty and institutions in continually improving student learning outcomes. We look back in reliance on the research literature to help us understand what has been working and why. We look ahead at the innovations in the field to understand what quality might look like as we build towards the future. In the middle, in the boundary spanning role we play, we see the heart of higher education, our educators, ready to move forward but wary of the process. Is the benefit of change worth the cost to achieve it? What is the urgency, anyway? How do we move forward in teaching with technology, in all formats, in a way that maximizes the affordances of technology while respecting the gold standard of faculty-student engagement?

Presenter: Dr. Julie Schell (Director of OnRamps and Strategic Initiatives & Clinical Assistant Professor in the College of Education at the University of Texas Austin)
Overview:
Instructors all over the globe are turning their students’ worlds around by flipping their classrooms. In a flipped class, teachers move information coverage out of the lecture hall so that they can better leverage in-‐class time to address student difficulties and misconceptions. In this interactive session, Dr. Julie Schell will flip the webinar by providing brief introductory, pre-‐workshop activities to participants. She will use responses from these activities in the workshop and discuss the three basic steps for effectively flipping any classroom. Throughout the presentation, participants will confront and resolve a series of common myths about flipped teaching.

Session Title: How Can Students Use Self-Compassion to Reduce Test Anxiety?
Presenter: Kristin Roush, Ph.D. (Psychology Professor – Central New Mexico Community College)
Overview:
Sometimes students get in their own way. They panic before exams and fill their heads with worries about failure. They create excess anxiety that clouds their thinking and prevents them from performing optimally. Then their exam results don’t adequately reflect what they have learned. This reinforces their fears and makes it worse the next time around.
It can be a vicious cycle that is bad for your students and bad for you. But you can break the cycle by teaching students how to think differently about testing and about themselves. You can learn how to do that in How Can Students Use Self-Compassion to Reduce Test Anxiety? This Magna 20-Minute Mentor with Kristin L. Roush, Ph.D., presents the mindful self-compassion technique and shows how it can help students change how they feel and how they think about testing so they are better able to demonstrate their learning on exams.
When you are finished with this program, you will be able to:

Session Title: How Can I Transform My Tests into Learning Tools?
Presenters: Debi Moon, J.D. (Assistant Vice President of Educational Affairs – Georgia Perimeter College); Rob Jenkins, M.A. (Associate Professor of English – Georgia Perimeter College)
Overview:
Tests and other assessments are effective tools for determining how well students learned (and how well you taught) earlier in the semester. But they don’t really do much to help students learn in the present, or as the semester progresses. At least, summative assessments don’t. But formative ones, that occur throughout the semester and across the entire learning process, can.
You’ll discover how to incorporate these highly effective tools into your teaching in the Magna 20 Minute Mentor program, How Can I Transform My Tests Into Learning Tools?.
Led by Rob Jenkins, M.A., professor of English and “Two-Year Track” columnist for The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Debi Moon, J.D., recipient of a National Teaching Excellence Award and administration and faculty member at Georgia Perimeter College, this fast, focused Magna 20-Minute Mentor program will provide you with an assortment of tools and techniques to promote better learning.

Dr. Karen Adsit started off the day of our Showcase of Teaching and Learning by presenting You can’t teach that online, can you? She covered several myths of online education, including the myth that online education is just a fad and it’ll never catch on and stay! After 20 years, this myth has been debunked!
Another myth is that I won’t know my students OR I need to be able to see my students to tell if they are learning. The challenge, as a faculty member in an online environment, is to work with your students so that both you and they are able to “see” that they are learning.

Overview:
Many outpatient clinics where health professionals work and train will transition to a team-based medical home model over the next several years. Therefore, these clinics and affiliated training programs need innovative approaches to prepare the workforce and incorporate trainees into team-based delivery systems. To address this need, educators at the San Francisco Veterans Affairs (VA) Health Care System embraced preclinic team “huddles” which are brief meetings to facilitate care coordination and integrated trainees into these huddles. They developed an interprofessional huddle-coaching program to support staff and trainees (nurse practitioner students and internal medicine residents who function as primary providers for patient panels in VA outpatient primary care clinics) in learning how to huddle and how to work together effectively as a team. The huddle-coaching program focuses on structuring the huddle process via scheduling, checklists, and designated huddle coaches; building relationships among team members through team-building activities; and teaching core skills to support collaborative practice.
The webinar will provide information on the SFVAHCS approach to training health professionals how to huddle as well as provide materials, lessons learned and strategies for success.
