Hi folks -

Thanks to everyone who attended our faculty kickoff on Friday! I've posted a link to the meeting recording below, as promised. I've also included links to the kickoff feedback form and survey for fall professional development interests/preferences. If you could take a few minutes to fill either (or ideally both) out, it would be greatly appreciated!

We are writing to invite you to join the pilot program for H5P’s D2L integration and a few special features.

Through CTLI’s Catalyst Innovation Program, we are giving out a limited number of free H5P.com accounts for faculty/grad students for this academic year. This will allow you to create lots of different types of activities, assign them to your students through D2L, have their grades automatically populated in the Gradebook (if desired), and also receive data about how your students ...

We are writing to invite you to join the pilot program for H5P’s D2L integration and a few special features.

Through CTLI’s Catalyst Innovation Program, we are giving out a limited number of free H5P.com accounts for faculty/grad students for this academic year. This will allow you to create lots of different types of activities, assign them to your students through D2L, have their grades automatically populated in the Gradebook (if desired), and also receive data about how your students interacted with the content.

The D2L H5P basic integration lets you:
Insert activities with one click directly into a D2L course (no more embed codes requiring activities to be public or going through another provider like Pressbooks)
Connect select activities with the D2L Gradebook

+ our subscription also includes these special features:
Detailed reports on how learners interact with the activity, no matter where the H5P activity is in the course (as a topic or in a page)
Let learners resume activities (especially useful for larger content types like Interactive Video/Course Presentation/Interactive Book)

+ Smart Import feature (AI) lets you import audio/text/video and you will get quick transcripts and suggested activities pre-built that will shorten activity creation time (currently only in English, more languages to be added soon).

Any activities you create via our pilot account using Smart AI, for example, can certainly be exported out to a different regular H5P account(s).

Some of you might have also looked into nolej.io recently (very similar to Smart Import), but we have been told that H5P.com is much better with regards to compliance, privacy, security and stability.

You could contact me (gacs@msu.edu) or Shannon Quinn (sdquinn@msu.edu) to request an account, you will be given a form to fill out listing any D2L course shells (development courses or communities would work too) where you would like to test the H5P integration.

the Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities invites you to attend a workshop on Alternate Grading April 21st, from 10 to 11:30 am via Zoom.

We are honored to welcome Prof. Nicole Coleman of Wayne State University to run the workshop. If you are interested in learning ways to prioritize learning over grading and to make assessments more meaningful for students, you may want to consider a new grading system. Coleman will lead an interactive program on her experiences with teaching courses in both the Specs Grading and Ungrading structures. She will provide some information on how each system works and the theory behind them. She will then guide educators in adjusting an assignment or a syllabus to work with these methods. Please bring a rubric and/or a syllabus to the session to be able to participate fully in this workshop.

"The recent shooting has been an extremely frightening experience, and the days, weeks, and months following can be very stressful. How long it will take to cope depends a lot on what individuals experienced during and after the shooting, including whether they experienced physical injury, involvement in a police investigation, worry about the safety of family and friends, and loss of loved ones. In the aftermath, it’s often difficult to figure out where to begin. Over time, many people will ...

"The recent shooting has been an extremely frightening experience, and the days, weeks, and months following can be very stressful. How long it will take to cope depends a lot on what individuals experienced during and after the shooting, including whether they experienced physical injury, involvement in a police investigation, worry about the safety of family and friends, and loss of loved ones. In the aftermath, it’s often difficult to figure out where to begin. Over time, many people will return to normal routines. We also know that for some people this will be more of a struggle. You may need to know if what you’re experiencing is a common reaction to these types of events. Reactions generally diminish with time, but knowing about them can help you to be supportive of both yourself and others you know affected by the shooting."

The National Child Traumatic Stress Network shares an overview of what students could be experiencing (including but not limited to posttraumatic stress reactions, grief reactions, depression, and physical symptoms) as well as physical, emotional, and social ways to enhance coping in "College Students: Coping after the Recent Shooting".

"This study investigated the role of resilience and gratitude in the relationship between trauma exposure, posttraumatic stress (PTS), and posttraumatic growth (PTG) following the campus shooting at Seattle Pacific University. The prevalence of community traumatic events such as school shootings has increased dramatically in the last decade. However, a significant number of individuals report positive changes such as enhanced appreciation for life, suggesting that some people are able to convert adverse experiences into personal growth. The purpose of this study was to understand characteristics about trauma and protective characteristics that contribute to PTG."
