The more educators can treat students as professional learners by providing them with reliable, timely, and accurate information about their progress in a course, the more likely it is that students will persist, thrive, and ultimately succeed in their educational journey.
The typical learning experience in American high schools is an in-person experience that is infused with online tools. Students are regularly required to engage with learning content in online platforms, and they have constant access to their grades, class announcements, and course materials via online and mobile platforms. Given that this is the most common learning experience students have prior to beginning at MSU, it follows that establishing a digital learning environment that mirrors the students’ known processes will create a more seamless transition into the MSU learning ecosystem.
An effective way to support student learning is for educators to use the learning management system as a student-centered academic hub for their course. At MSU, that means using D2L in specific, targeted ways that are intentionally geared toward meeting most students’ needs. In addition to optimizing the students’ experience, this intentional deployment of the learning management system serves to streamline much of the administrative load that is inherent in teaching, thereby simplifying many of the time-consuming tasks that often dominate educator’s lives. Accomplishing this need not require a comprehensive deployment of D2L in your course. In fact, using the LMS in four or five critical ways, and perhaps modifying your practices slightly to facilitate that use, can make a significant difference in students’ perceptions of your course.
1) Use the Grade Book
2) Post a syllabus and a clear schedule
3) Use the announcements tool
4) Distribute materials via D2L
5) (optionally) Use the digital drop box
Click the PDF below for more context on how these five simple steps can maximize the students' experience in your class, and streamline your teaching workflow at the same time.

"Coping with a Traumatic Event" from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services & Center for Disease Control offers an overview of what a traumatic event is along with some common responses. The resource specifically outlines the three broad categories of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms and offers specific suggestions for ways adults and caregivers can cope. It is important to recognize that there are limitations to health coping on your own, and many instances of traumatic events/PTSD need support from medical professionals to heal.

Digital Collaborative Learning for the 21st Century
Co-Facilitators
Stokes Schwartz, Center for Integrative Studies in the Arts and Humanities (CISAH), stokessc@msu.edu
Marohang Limbu, Department of Writing, Rhetoric, and American Cultures (WRAC), limbu@msu.edu
Our learning community will examine the increasing importance of digital collaborative learning for 21st-century learners, student success, and a smooth transition to global digital ecology/economy after graduation. Related pedagogical activities will include how we might utilize digital collaborative learning to a greater degree in our courses for other leading-edge pedagogical intentions. Beside the OFASD website, we will publicize our community via email at the start of the 2022-2023AY in August and September and invite interested parties to join us.
First Meeting: Friday, September 30, 2022 at 10 am for approximately 90 minutes. Upcoming meeting days/times TBA according to participant needs or preferences where possible
Recurring Zoom Meeting: https://msu.zoom.us/j/94545089588
Meeting ID: 945 4508 9588
Passcode: 851121
All who are interested in digital, collaborative, multimodal learning, and the use of technologies to enhance teaching are welcome, especially graduate students and new faculty who are interested in eventually publishing work that develops based on their participation in this learning community.

Hello and welcome all!
The 2024 Educator Developers Network (EDN) is shaking and baking, moving and quaking!
This is a collaborative space for anyone passionate about improving teaching through effective design, pedagogy, and technology, and anyone who provides training, consultation, instructional/learning experience design, or other learning and development support to instructors on campus. Here, anybody with an interest in enhancing education can come together, share their experiences, and mutually learn from one another. Our synchronous meetings are the 1st Tuesday of every month, were people share their department’s work, ask for advice, or celebrate success. We also communicate asynchronously in our Educator Developers Network channel.
The goals of the network are to provide a dedicated location for people to share ideas and ask questions around instructor support, learning and development, promoting useful practices and ideas to campus at large, foster community through regular meetings that highlight accomplishments and central services, and archiving and externalizing conversations. Our asynchronous discussions occur in Microsoft Teams, where we have an initial structure of channels for members to explore MSU’s Learning Management System (D2L - Brightspace), discuss course design, or seek out technology recommendations and tips. Ultimately, EDN is a place to source answers to your questions or ask for help, participate in the community, and share what you know with others!
Come share your work and ideas! Be part of a learning community with other professional in learning development, training, design, pedagogy, technology, and anyone who provides consultations and instructional/learning experience design. Come join the network!
