"Posttraumatic Stress Among Students After the Shootings at Virginia Tech" (Hughes et al., 2011) provides a discussion of findings from a cross-sectional survey of Virginia Tech students the summer/fall following the April 16, 2007 shooting of 49 students and faculty using the Trauma Screening Questionnaire to assess PTSD symptoms. The 9-page PDF article from Volume 3, Number 4, of Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy is attached below.

This artifact is one of a collection of evidence-based resources for educators coming back to class after collective tragedy was compiled by Spartans:
Jason Moser (Professor of Clinical Science, Cognition, and Cognitive Neuroscience in MSU's Department of Psychology & PhD Psychology | Clinical Science)
Jon Novello (Director of MSU Employee Assistant Program & Licensed Clinical Social Worker)
Mark Patishnock (Director of MSU Counseling and Psychiatric Services [CAPS] & Licensed Psychologist)
Joshua Turchan (Assistant Director of Training, Assessment and Planning at MSU CAPS & Licensed Psychologist)
Karen Stanley-Kime (Assistant Director of Intensive Clinical Services at MSU CAPS & Licensed Psychologist)
and more throughout University Health and Wellness departments.

I co-wrote this attached article with Rich Bellon to describe how to better frame the "value" of HPS courses for students taking required humanities courses for an audience of History & Philosophy of Science educators. It's called "How to engage students in required HPS courses, part 2: The "value" of HPS" It was published in the Canadian Society for HPS' Communiqué newsletter in Autumn 2023 in the "Innovative Pedagogy" section (p.30-31). If you teach an IAH class or another Gen Ed course it might be helpful advice for how to frame the benefits of your course.

MSU is a big place

Writing Centers and Access: A Disability Justice Speaker Series" brings together the fields of composition, writing center studies, and disability studies to ask (and begin the process of answering) the question: How do writing centers engage the process of disability justice? Featuring world-renown disability studies scholars, the series seeks to generate conversation and provide community to teachers of writing, to writers, to writing center professionals, and to communities both on our campuses and beyond about the ways in which disability affects writers, writing, and higher education. The series is hosted by The Writing Center at MSU through the hard work of their Accessibility Committee, under the supervision of Dr. Karen Moroski-Rigney.

This series is still ongoing! The schedule and links to RSVP can be found in the upload below!

MSU-specific training on AI for educators is now available on D2L. It includes links to policy documents on AI, and has modules on AI basics, integrating AI into teaching, modifying teaching to discourage AI use, academic integrity and privacy concerns, and developing a personal strategy for approaching AI in the classroom: https://apps.d2l.msu.edu/selfenroll/course/2003221

An interesting piece this morning on Faculty Focus about using short (instructor) videos in our courses to both connect with students and reinforce learning goals each week. A direct link is below for anyone who is interested. While I have developed an extensive network of two-minute whiteboard animations since last summer as part of my online course modules, I must admit that the itch to develop short videos (that are more interesting than my old Prezi videos in use during the 2020-2021 AY) is once again present.

Check out my highlights on what I learned from Gary Roloff from Fisheries & Wildlife:

𝟏 critical thinking, synthesis of ideas & information, acquisition of contextual knowledge, and informed judgment results in empowered, confident decision making in students

✌🏽 teaching philosophies change over time. focusing on contextual knowledge teaches “clear answers” which is not the same as making informed arguments and decisions using that knowledge

💡connecting students to local and agency partners is a highlight for students & builds professional networks

🌪challenges: "if we fail to recognize and adjust our content and delivery to appeal to diverse learning styles we are not being fair"

🔥hot take: changing from testing structures📝 to oral exams🎤 provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate knowledge and explain answers. More time consuming, but the payoff is worth it

Hi folks!

You should see an email going out about this workshop shortly, but I wanted to post some details here as well. On Friday, October 14, from 10-11:30 am, Piril Atabay and I will be facilitating a workshop focusing on the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework and the role it plays in IAH general education classes. We'll be running this event with attendance options for in-person (Linton Hall Room 120) and Zoom (details below), and the meeting will be recorded and posted to this iteach page for folks to refer to later.

I've attached the flyer for this event below, as well as an RSVP link and the Zoom credentials for anyone who will be logging in from home. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to Piril (atabaypi@msu.edu) or myself (sabogart@msu.edu); otherwise, we hope to see you on the 14th!
