Title: Rise: A Tool to Building Interactive Online CoursesPresenter: Erin Bosch-HannahFormat: Learning Tech DemoDate: May 11th, 2023Time: 10:00 - 11:15 amClick to hereDescription:Rise is a course authoring software allowing instructors to quickly build online courses that are structured easily with high levels of interactivity. This technology helps change passive online learning to active engagement. The tool is asynchronous, allowing students to utilize their course at any time without the need for the instructor to be present. Assessments can be built in and it is compatible with all devices and most Learning Management Systems. This platform is user friendly, student oriented, and instructors can use a mixture of videos, voice recordings, quizzes, timelines, descriptive photos, and other modules. The amount of features and interactivity can be altered in each module, making for new and exciting learning experiences.Educators can quickly convert their existing content into Rise, allowing their students to interact with the material through several different learning styles. By incorporating additional activities that utilize the content in Rise, an increase in retention is often noticed since material is used frequently. Rise easily allows instructors to scaffold content through lesson sections and multiple educational blocks. Labeled graphics, tabs, processes, timelines, and sorting activities encourage students to proceed through information in an organized manner. These activities encourage connections and associations since students have to manually access the content and apply the information to the next section.

MSU offers an array of development options for employees to enhance skills and continue professional growth. Explore a list of campus trainings, courses, and free media resources below. Campus Trainings MSU offers a wide range of learning opportunities to help academic staff meet their professional development goals. These include:

ElevateU is a free online training resource, offering programs that cover leadership, IT & desktop, business, finance, change management, project management, interpersonal skills and more. Courses are offered through videos, books, and preparation for a professional certificate. You can access ElevateU by logging into the EBS portal and locating the ElevateU tile under the "My Career & Training" tab, or by clicking on the image below. 
The Office of Faculty & Staff Development offers programs and additional training opportunities for advisors, including leadership development, career enhancement and growth, and professional development workshops that foster engaging conversations and collaboration among academic specialists.
The Organization and Professional Development division of MSU Human Resources provides instructor-led courses and workshops on a broad-range of topics. This includes leadership development, methods for enhancing communication skills, and opportunities to expand knowledge in diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Kognito for Faculty & Staff helps us learn to notice signs of distress, use techniques to discuss our concerns, and, if necessary, refer students to appropriate resources. Practice these challenging conversations at your own pace through role-play with virtual students. In a national study of effectiveness, this simulation has been shown to increase the number of student referrals to counseling.

Tuition Assistance All academic specialists with fixed term, probationary, or continuing appointment status and who have a minimum of 24 FTE (full-time equivalent) university service months and are appointed 50% time or more are eligible to apply.
Coverage is limited to four (4) credits per semester with a maximum of twelve (12) credits per academic year at the rate corresponding to the student’s academic level. Only MSU credit courses are covered.

Free Media MSU Libraries have purchased licenses to various news sources so MSU students and employees can access them for free. These include:

The Chronicle of Higher Education: A leading source for news coverage on the academic sector, student life, online learning, college and university job openings, and more.

Announcements help us build a stronger rapport with our learners.
News and announcements make you seem active. You are the half part of the equation.
Depending on your preferences and those of your learners, you can also send emails, text, or social media messages that repeat online announcements or merely remind learners to log in to view those announcements.
If you send a weekly message via email or some other format (eg., Twitter), make sure these are identical to any announcements in your online classroom.
Let learners know from the first day of class that each time they log in, they should check for the latest announcements. So, having a uniform announcement area in your course platform is essential.
 
Here are some examples of announcements:



Remind learners about due dates and stages of the course, for example, if a new section or activity is going to be released in your course.
Underline progress and encourage learners.
Remind learners about special events (eg., webinars, or introducing new presenters in videos).
Bring in authentic news from the outside world when relevant to demonstrate your active interest in the class topics and to involve your learners.

Abstract:
When MSU’s campus activity closed due to COVID-19, units and departments across campus sought solutions to transition to remote learning and maintain student engagement. The game development program in the Department of Media and Information turned to a familiar source; a video game communication platform called Discord. While we were already using Discord for casual links and outside of class communication, the quarantine put our server into overdrive. Now, our community Discord is a thriving community spanning 30 classes, 10 faculty, and over 800 members. It is helping game developers of all stripes learn, share, and communicate in a screen dominated era, and keeping faculty, students, and alumni connected and collaborating.
Join three Media & Information faculty as they discuss their experience building, fostering, growing, and maintaining this online community consisting of hundreds of game and interaction design students on Discord. By involving alumni and forthright peers, they found a natural balance between professionalism and creative expression.

The MSU IT AT&T Excellence in Teaching with Technology Award selection committee is excited to announce the following individuals as the 2023 award recipients:

Ayman Mohamed from the College of Arts & Letters
Rabindra Ratan from the College of Communication Arts & Sciences
Kirtimaan Mohan, Kathleen Hinko, and Vashti Sawtelle from the Lyman Briggs College

The 2023 AT&T Excellence in Teaching with Technology Awards recognize outstanding contributions to the use and development of information technology for teaching and learning in credit-bearing courses at Michigan State University. These educators are recognized as campus leaders in contributing to student success through technology integration and enhancement in their courses. Up to three awards are given each year. Any practice used in a course is eligible for consideration. This includes, but is not limited to, assessments, activities, and projects.
This year the criteria for the awards was revised to focus on the specific practice of using technology effectively. Applications with an explanation of their course and how they used technology, along with a video, were submitted by academic staff. A committee of peers and campus leaders evaluated and chose three general winners based on their submission. In addition to being honored at the event, the award recipients also receive a $2,000 stipend to use toward the purchase of technology to enhance their teaching practice, or for their own professional development.
Read more about the AT&T Excellence in Teaching with Technology award recipients, and previous recipients at the official MSU AT&T website.Congratulations to all!
