Tired of receiving research papers on worn out subjects, and more importantly weary of witnessing an extreme disconnect between my students and their choice of research topics, I began using a more "organic" approach to research. In this session, I will present my "Ripped From the Headlines" research project, explain how it works, and explore some of the ways it has helped overcome the dissociation students often feel between themselves and their research paper topics, and provided me with interesting reading material. -

The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.
To register and for more detailed information go to https://opencourses.desire2learn.com/cat/

UNG Volunteer Fair Fall 2014
GC Martha T. Nesbitt Academic Building 3110
This Volunteer Fair is the only one of its kind in North Georgia which gives community agencies access to a sizable pool of volunteers. Our students unanimously report being enlightened and inspired by their involvement in this event. In this "Year of Engagement" this initiative functions to advance the University of North Georgia's missions of "service", "quality education" and "the development of students as leaders for a diverse and global society". Last year's Volunteer Fair attracted over 400 students from the Gainesville Campus. The Volunteer Fair is part of a pedagogy of engagement that brings the community to the campus and takes the campus to the community. Fifty participating agencies were able to get their fill of volunteers and were loud in praise for this UNG organized initiative.
The Fair will:
1. Enable experiential learning of our students through service learning, internships and open volunteer attachments.
2. Facilitate faculty in developing practicum elements to their course offerings.
3. Provide knowledge, awareness and institutional contact for the campus community and those in need of the services offered by these agencies.
4. Promote inter –agency relations among participating community organizations.
5. Significantly expand the economic impact of UNG in the community by availing participating agencies innumerable volunteer hours provided by our students.
6. Function to advance UNG's institutional goal of civic engagement.
We are kindly requesting the assistance of faculty in mobilizing participation and managing the activities and operations of Volunteer Fair 2014. We are expecting between 50- 60 community organizations to participate and we are seeking, with your help, to mobilize approximately 500 students to attend the event. We also need the assistance of about eight faculty members for two hours each between 11:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. to assist in coordinating the activities of the event as follows:
Faculty Assignments:
• Work with greeters, registration workers, ushers and agency volunteer assistants.

• Responsible for materials (pens, pencils, note pads, programs, co—curricular material, registration material, record of attendees.
• Responsible for media services – PR system, still photography, relating to media attendees.
• Two Organizers – responsible for overall coordination, managing opening ceremony, meeting and talking with each agency representatives.
Please indicate as soon as possible if you can possibly assist in mobilizing students or assisting at the Fair in any of the following ways by emailing Dr. George Danns at George.Danns@ung.edu

The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.

These presentations will allow faculty to learn about the award proposal process, and ask questions of previous award recipients. These sessions will offer insight and information on how to craft a successful Faculty Scholar Award proposal.
The Faculty Scholar Awards (FSA) funds tenure-track faculty members who are engaged in scholarly activities which require funding for (a) course release, (b) travel related to the project, (c) purchase equipment germane to the project, or (d) other justified uses of this award.
The RFP will be released early in the spring 2015 semester so this session is organized to give you suggestions from the 2014 awardees that may help you plan your proposals.
Besides providing an overview of their unique research projects, awardees will also share their experiences writing their proposals as well as the reviewers' comments.
Representatives from the UNG Grant's Office will also participate to respond to specific questions about the grant writing and indirect funds.
There will be three sessions addressing this material: one on each campus, attend the session that is most convenient for you. All sessions will cover the basics of writing a successful Faculty Scholar Award.

The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.

Karen attended the two-week Intensive Institute for the Teaching of Science Fiction at the University of Kansas Gunn Center for Science Fiction Studies in June of this year. The group of graduate students, K-12 teachers, and university professors from across the country, and around the world, read 25 SF novels significant to the genre and discussed the influences of social change, science, technology, and literature both on and of these authors and texts. Karen will describe her own experience using SF as the frame for her World Literature course and her plans for interdisciplinary collaboration with colleagues on future iterations of this course, as well as the potential for the use of SF in first-year composition courses. Come for the pop culture trivia, stay for the new understanding of the fun of science fiction in the college classroom. -

Kyounghye Kwon (ENGL): "Korean Traditional Puppet Theatre: Indigenous Memory Here and Now"
These presentations will allow faculty to learn about the award proposal process, and ask questions of previous award recipients. These sessions will offer insight and information on how to craft a successful Faculty Scholar Award proposal.
The Faculty Scholar Awards (FSA) funds tenure-track faculty members who are engaged in scholarly activities which require funding for (a) course release, (b) travel related to the project, (c) purchase equipment germane to the project, or (d) other justified uses of this award.
The RFP will be released early in the spring 2015 semester so this session is organized to give you suggestions from the 2014 awardees that may help you plan your proposals.
Besides providing an overview of their unique research projects, awardees will also share their experiences writing their proposals as well as the reviewers' comments.
Representatives from the UNG Grant's Office will also participate to respond to specific questions about the grant writing and indirect funds.
There will be three sessions addressing this material: one on each campus, attend the session that is most convenient for you. All sessions will cover the basics of writing a successful Faculty Scholar Award.

This training workshop will be of interest to chemists, biologists, and engineers or anyone who sometimes needs to know the equilibrium pH or composition of an aqueous solution and will provide an introduction to multi-component chemical equilibrium modeling.
The model used will be a Windows version of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) model MINTEQA2. This model was developed by the Dept. of Energy and USEPA to aid in predicting the movement of trace metals in natural aqueous systems. However, the model itself can be used for any dilute aqueous system, natural or not.
The workshop will include a description of how MINTEQA2 works and it's database of equilibrium reactions. The workshop will be presented in a computer lab and will include hands-on modeling exercises including how to modify the thermodynamic database.

Webinar via Blackboard Collaborate
Presenter - Thomas C. Reeves, PhD, The University of Georgia
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and other forms of open education are viewed as positive disruptive innovations by some and as threats to traditional education by others. The discord over MOOCs is especially evident in the higher education sector. This presentation examines the evidence for and against MOOCs, especially with respect to the quality of the learning accomplished by participants. The presentation also describes inconsistencies in learning assessment in MOOCs, and suggests innovative assessment strategies based on authentic tasks. Finally, recommendations are made for advancing the efficacy and impact of MOOCs through educational design research.

The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.

Guest Lecturer: Lorilee Sandmann, P.h.D
Sponsored by Academic Affairs
An identical session will be held on the Oconee campus at 2:00 p.m..
Sandmann will discuss how increasingly universities must address local and global complex issues by engaging with key stakeholders outside the academy. This engagement takes the form of mutually beneficial partnerships that produce and apply knowledge--a high-impact practice known as community engagement. For academic scholars and staff involved, this means applying their expertise and involving their students in real-world problems and collaborating with peers in other sectors who also bring their knowledge and wisdom to the table. Know about community engagement as a strategy for UNG to be a regional force and the implications for your work, discipline, and campus.
Sandmann is a professor in the Department of Lifelong Education, Administration, & Policy, in the College of Education and a fellow with the Institute of Higher Education at The University of Georgia as well as the editor of the Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement. Based on her research, she has published widely in journals such as Review of Higher Education, Journal of Higher Education, Innovative Higher Education, Journal of Higher Education Outreach and Engagement, Michigan Journal of Community Service Learning, and Change, among others. Her latest book is Institutionalizing Community Engagement in Higher Education: The First Wave of Carnegie Classified Institutions (Sandmann, Thornton, & Jaeger, 2009).
Dr. Sandmann has been inducted into the International Adult and Continuing Education Hall of Fame, was president of the American Association for Adult and Continuing Education, chaired what is now the Council of Engagement and Outreach for the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities, and is on the National Advisory Committee for Community Engagement of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. She was awarded UGA's Outstanding Faculty Scholarship of Engagement Award in 2012 and is the 2013 recipient of the Distinguished Researcher Award by the International Association for Research on Service Learning and Community Engagement. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in adult education and business management. -

Facilitated by Karen Redding.The Gates Grant project data collection is complete, though the analysis is still in the works...and will be for quite a while. What have we learned about the use of "Adaptive Learning Technology"? What have we learned about our teaching? What do you want to know? This conversational brown bag will describe the grant project's scope and UNG's approach to the parameters, as well as explain some of the data that we've collected over two semesters of pilots in first-year composition and developmental language arts courses. We will also discuss the successes and challenges of using technology, and we hope to have a conversation with attendees about anxieties, excitement, or anything in between, about the use of adaptive technology as a teaching tool.

Civil War at 150: Perspective on Impact and Significance, Lecture Series
"How the Civil War Impacted Georgia, and How Georgia Impacted the Civil War"
Lecture by Dr. John Inscoe, Albert B. Saye Professor of History, University of Georgia
This lecture series is designed to mark the 150th Anniversary of the end of the US Civil War and to draw campus and community members into a dialogue about the impact and continuing significance of the Civil War.
John Inscoe is the author of Mountain Masters: Slavery and the Sectional Crisis in Western North Carolina; Race, War, and Remembrance in the Appalachian South; and has edited or co-edited volumes on Georgia race relations, Appalachians and race in the 19th century, southern Unionists during the Civil War, and on Confederate nationalism and identity. He edited the Georgia Historical Quarterly and is currently the editor of the New Georgia Encyclopedia and Secretary-Treasurer of the Southern Historical Association.
Program begins at 6:00 p.m. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. prior to each program.
There will be three events featuring different speakers scheduled monthly from February to April of 2015. Events are free and open to the public. -
The University System of Georgia is launching a multi-modal online collaboration experience through D2L, designed to develop future scenarios and to explore and describe the factors critical to the success of student, faculty and postsecondary institutions in 2030. The initiative is part of the System's New Learning Models 2030 (NLM 2030) program.
The free two-part, seven-session process targeted at Higher Education Stakeholders, will also be open to other interested individuals and includes video lectures, readings, and discussions.
Please join if you want to take part in shaping the dialog answering the question: "What are the factors that will be critical to the success of the University System over the next 15 years?"
This fall, during the first part, the collaborative process will "Invent the Beyond" — identifying the driving forces and critical uncertainties confronting institutions of higher education. Building on input from all registered participants, a range of alternative possible future scenarios will be crafted.
In the spring, participants in the "Explore the Beyond" component will examine and identify the factors critical to the success of students, faculty and institutions in those scenarios looking toward 2030. The resulting crowdsourced framework will generate sharable models, materials, and best practices allowing the fine-tuning of new scenarios that address the unique needs and contexts of different types of institutions.

Although it is not difficult to create a truly global World Lit 1 course--China, Japan, India, and the Middle East have plenty of great texts--finding material for teaching early African and Mesoamerican literature can be more challenging. Two of the most widely anthologized texts for those areas, the Sundiata and the Popol Vuh, are both useful but can be daunting to newcomers. This presentation gives an overview of the two stories and provides ideas about how to connect them to other texts on your syllabus. -

Presenter: David Godow
Faculty are the institution's most precious resource, and their activities largely determine the success or failure of the institutional mission. However, most faculty utilization policies fail to focus faculty effort on the highest high-value work that promotes institutional goals.
This webconference will discuss how institutions are making more effective use of faculty time without crude, politically unacceptable "productivity improvement" policies like increasing teaching load or course size caps. It will also explore how metrics are being integrated into unit-level strategic planning and budgeting processes to create faculty buy-in for data-informed decision making
Learn how to ensure departments are maximizing use of available instructional capacity, better align faculty workload policy with institutional priorities, engage units more fully in "data-informed decision making" by connecting use of metrics with their own goals. -
Presenter: Ben Wright, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
Students pour countless hours into coursework only to see the product of that labor result in a paper or exam which is either discarded or filed away in cabinet. This talk proposes that we consider ways to turn student learning into enduring monuments of achievement. Taking this approach can dissolve the boundaries of the classroom and enable students to make connections between their academic work an the wider world. Ben Wright has taught a series of courses that ask students to produce websites that archive and present student learning. Drawing on his experience as the editor of abolitionseminar.org, a NEH funded digital seminar for K-12 educators, Wright has worked with students in creating websites for a course on the rise and fall of Atlantic slavery, viewable at riseandfallofslavery.wordpress.com and the history of global apocalyptisicm, viewable at historyoftheend.wordpress.com. Hear more about his experiences and consider how you can integrate these models into your own classrooms.

Guest Lecturer: Hiram Fitzgerald, Ph.D.
Community Engagement Scholarship focuses on the integration of higher education's knowledge base in research and creative activities, with the public's knowledge base anchored in the realities of everyday life. The integration co-joins higher education's knowledge discovery and application missions with community needs for sustainable and transformative change in nearly every facet of contemporary life. Dr. Fitzgerald will focus on issues related to institutional alignment with respect to community engagement scholarship, and examine approaches to building and sustaining community partnerships in order to advance knowledge and solve community problems through approaches that emphasize the co-creation of knowledge and co-production of sustainable change. Dr. Fitzgerald will also illustrate how community engagement scholarship enhances higher education's efforts to educate students to participate in and lead the development of 21st century innovations that will enhance competitiveness, locally and globally.
Hiram E Fitzgerald is University Distinguished Professor in the Department of Psychology and Associate Provost for University Outreach and Engagement at Michigan State University. He is president of the Engagement Scholarship Consortium and is a member of the Council on Engagement and Outreach of the Association for Public and Land Grant Universities.

In his diverse research efforts, Fitzgerald participates in a variety of interdisciplinary research teams focusing on evaluation of community-based early preventive-intervention programs in Michigan. Fitzgerald's major areas of research include the study of infant and family development in community contexts, the impact of fathers on early child development, 0-5 age boys and risk, implementation of systemic community models of organizational process and change, the etiology of alcoholism, and broad issues related to the scholarship of engagement. He has published over 500 journal articles, chapters, books, technical reports, and peer-reviewed abstracts. He is senior editor of the two volume Handbook of Community Engagement, and the recently published, Going Public: Civic and Community Engagement (MSU Press).

Civil War at 150: Perspective on Impact and Significance, Lecture Series
"The Human Cost of the American Civil War"
Lecture by Dr. J. David Hacker, Associate Professor of History, University of Minnesota
This lecture series is designed to mark the 150th Anniversary of the end of the US Civil War and to draw campus and community members into a dialogue about the impact and continuing significance of the Civil War.
David Hacker's recent article, "A Census-Based Count of the Civil War Dead," reexamines the number of casualties during the US Civil War, challenging the widely accepted estimate of 620,000. The revised figure of 750,000 casualties forces a reexamination of the immediate and long-term human costs of the war. Hacker's work has received national and international attention.
Program begins at 6:00 p.m. A reception will be held at 5:30 p.m. prior to each program.
There will be three events featuring different speakers scheduled monthly from February to April of 2015. Events are free and open to the public. -

All seasoned and new faculty/teaching staff are invited. We'll provide cookies & drinks; you bring your good ideas. See fall plan and agenda below for more details.
This year, four of the NFI meetings will be held in conjunction with Teaching Conversations: How Learning Works. These groups will meet together — same place and time – see below. To stimulate discussion, we'll use chapters from How Learning Works: Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching. (Please contact CTLL if you do not have a copy of the book. The chapters covered in Fall Meeting #1 are available in D2L. The book will also be on reserve in the libraries.) One of the most beneficial aspects of these Teaching Conversations will be the camaraderie of sharing our experiences and our best ideas from our classroom practices.
CERTIFICATES
If you participate in the NFI program, you can garner two certificates to include in your promotion and tenure portfolio: New Faculty Institute Certificate and Teaching Academy Certificate (the culmination of those Teaching Conversations).
In order to earn these certificates, you must- Attend meetings on your campus (see below). If your schedule does not allow you to be at the meetings, you can write at least 250 words for each chapter in our online discussions in eLearning.

In short, the NFI introduces newly-hired faculty to the UNG missions of "quality education, service, inquiry and creativity." The NFI facilitates acclimation to the institution and promotes teaching excellence and professional development.
We look forward to seeing you. -

Constant Change: The Challenging Context of the 21st Century ~ George Mehaffy, Ph.D.
Sponsored by Academic Affairs
Technology, demographics, and economics are powerful forces of disruption that are challenging colleges and universities. Traditional missions, core assumptions, and ways of operating all have to be reconsidered in this era of transformation. How can colleges and universities survive and indeed thrive in this dramatically new environment?
George L. Mehaffy serves as the Vice President for Academic Leadership and Change at the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) in Washington, D.C., a higher education association representing 400 public colleges and universities and their 3.8 million students. His division is responsible for developing and managing programs for member institutions in areas such as organizational change, civic engagement, leadership development, undergraduate education, technology, international education and teacher education. He works closely with university presidents and chief academic officers on a variety of national initiatives. Each year, his division organizes a number of conferences, including two national conferences each year for AASCU chief academic officers. He has directed a series of innovative projects, including international programs with China and Liberia; a technology transformation annual conference with EDUCAUSE and the University of Central Florida; and two major national studies of student success. In 2003, he launched the American Democracy Project, a civic engagement initiative involving 240 colleges and universities, in partnership with The New York Times. Most recently, he organized the Red Balloon Project, a national initiative to transform undergraduate education. Before coming to AASCU, he had more than twenty years of teaching and administrative experience in higher education in Texas, New Mexico, and California. -

Opening remarks and Title IX overview by David Marling, UNG Title IX Coordinator
Invited leadership will join the Provost at this webinar for UNG leadership. These speakers will facilitate a consideration of Title IX response systems and methods for enlisting faculty support for the mission of Title IX.
Title IX response systems and academic freedom can co-exist and be mutually supportive but not without careful attention to the balancing of sometimes competing interests.
How can we manage "trigger terms" in the classroom and run Title IX grievance systems without disrupting legitimate pedagogical goals and chilling core academic activities, including speaking on matters of public importance in public forums?
Peter Lake will offer detailed and practical suggestions on how to improve Title IX response systems while protecting and promoting academic freedom. -

Dr. Jürgen E. Grandt's "Bebop in Bavaria" is something of a personal travelogue through the discipline of African American Studies in Europe. Drawing on my experiences as a graduate student at the University of Zürich (Switzerland) and my stints as Visiting Professor of American Studies at the University of Bayreuth (Germany) and as Visiting Professor of English at the University of Basel (Switzerland); on conference proceedings and guest lectures at institutions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland; as well as on more informal discussions with colleagues and students from many more nations, "Bebop in Bavaria" seeks to illuminate some of the peculiar challenges and opportunities faced by the (white) European student, teacher, and scholar of African American literature and culture.
My presentation will address, among other issues, the reasons for the heavy emphasis on critical theory in general and Gatesian Signifyin(g) in particular; the impact of September 11 and current US foreign and domestic policy on the discipline; differences in institutional structure and academic culture; and the crucial role of black music and its appropriations, jazz and hip-hop especially. "Bebop in Bavaria" thus investigates how and why the discipline of African American Studies is received, amended, and/or transformed after its transatlantic journey to Europe. -

As part of the Affordable Learning Georgia community, join us in a web event on copyright and open licensing as it pertains to the design of affordable and OER courses on Friday, September 25, 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m.
Copyright law and open licensing can be complex and confusing when planning your course with OER and no-cost resources. Lisa Macklin (Emory University) and Mariann Burright (University of Georgia), both leaders of scholarly communication efforts in their institutions, will take you through not only the basics of copyright and open licensing, but also provide you with resources for further reading and in-depth learning.
The event will take place in the ALG Resource Center, a Blackboard Collaborate meeting room through the Digital Innovation Group.

Dr. Jürgen E. Grandt's "Bebop in Bavaria" is something of a personal travelogue through the discipline of African American Studies in Europe. Drawing on my experiences as a graduate student at the University of Zürich (Switzerland) and my stints as Visiting Professor of American Studies at the University of Bayreuth (Germany) and as Visiting Professor of English at the University of Basel (Switzerland); on conference proceedings and guest lectures at institutions in Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the United Kingdom, Ireland; as well as on more informal discussions with colleagues and students from many more nations, "Bebop in Bavaria" seeks to illuminate some of the peculiar challenges and opportunities faced by the (white) European student, teacher, and scholar of African American literature and culture.
My presentation will address, among other issues, the reasons for the heavy emphasis on critical theory in general and Gatesian Signifyin(g) in particular; the impact of September 11 and current US foreign and domestic policy on the discipline; differences in institutional structure and academic culture; and the crucial role of black music and its appropriations, jazz and hip-hop especially. "Bebop in Bavaria" thus investigates how and why the discipline of African American Studies is received, amended, and/or transformed after its transatlantic journey to Europe.

Session Description:
With video becoming a key component in educators' tool kits, it is essential that schools not only understand, but employ video accessibility best practices. While the Department of Justice has long been actively enforcing accessibility regulations, recent class action suits against prominent universities have brought renewed attention to the importance of closed captioning, both in terms of the scope and the quality of captioning. In this webinar, we will describe relevant accessibility compliance issues and recent enforcement changes that schools should be aware of. We will also discuss the implications of these changes for educational institutions and provide guidance on best practices to address these implications.

Special Invitation to the University of North Georgia to Attend and Present at the 2015 UGA COE Innovation in Teaching Conference.
Conference proposals due Friday, October 9, 2015.
Keynote Speaker:
Dr. Peter Doolittle
Virginia Tech University
This is a special invitation to all faculty and instructors at the University of North Georgia to join your colleagues in the College of Education for a special one-day conference on October 23 focused on innovation in teaching. You are most welcome to not only attend but also submit proposals about your innovative teaching.
Our keynote speaker, Dr. Peter Doolittle, Assistant Provost for Teaching and Learning, Executive Director of the Center for Instructional Development and Educational Research (CIDER) at Virginia Tech, will speak about the unfortunate tendency in higher education to look for and accept easy solutions to complex and wicked problems, often under the guise of innovation and technology. In contrast, Dr. Doolittle will remind us of the essentials of teaching and learning innovation and the role that all faculty play in developing effective future technology-rich instructional environments.

Presenter: Michele DiPietro, Kennesaw State University
Every time national or local tragedies happen (e.g., 9/11, Virginia Tech, Newtown), their impact is felt on our campuses. These occurrences are thankfully infrequent, but this means instructors are not prepared to teach in their aftermath. My research indicates that most professors are very confused about how to respond to a tragedy, what their role should be and what actions are most effective. In fact, my research also indicates that the most common response to tragedies in the classroom was the one the students found least helpful. Rather than being prescriptive, this presentation will draw on this research to help participants define their role and consider a list of effective strategies that will work best for them. -

In this session learn how students can better manage their education and register every term to the optimal set of courses and sections, shortening their time to graduation and minimizing wasted credit hours.
Utilizing existing data in real-time from both the student information system (for example: class schedules and student records) and degree audit system (policies, rules and the course catalog), Edunav automatically generates an optimal personalized map-like plan for each student based on their chosen career/life-goals (degrees & certificates) and personal circumstances. See how the degree plans continuously adjust as circumstances change, always picking the best set of courses and sections, guiding students to a successful on-time completion.
Additionally, with a view into all the student plans, the service forecasts the need for future course capacities allowing institutions and departments to plan accordingly. -

Open Educational Resources (OER) are free resources with an open license which allow for reuse, redistribution, remixing, and revising. Using OER in college courses can save students money on textbook costs, foster more equitable access to materials, and engage students in interesting ways that all-rights-reserved copyright often does not allow. This panel is a collaboration between Affordable Learning Georgia and the USG Office of Faculty Development, featuring instructional designers and USG Centers for Teaching and Learning faculty and staff, discussing current OER course design practices in face-to-face, hybrid, and online instruction. -

Kristin Kelly, Associate Professor of English, will discuss her work with "Talking Service," a national reading and discussion program for servicemen and servicewomen coming back to civilian life from the war zone. As faculty at a premier military college, all of us have veterans in our classrooms. Kelly's talk will help us serve these students better through understanding what they experience as well as what resources can help them, including "Talking Service."
The program is based on the text Standing Down: From Warrior to Civilian edited by Don Whitfield of the Great Books Foundation and includes essays, short stories, and poems spanning more than 2,500 years. Participants read and discuss selections on themes such as Caregiving, Civilians and War, Combat, Confronting the Enemy, and Family Relationships.
Sometimes the soldiers relate the evening's reading to their own military experiences. Sometimes it's all about the text. The Georgia Humanities Council sponsors Kelly's program in Buford, GA, with textbook support also provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Please join us to learn how to better serve our student veterans.
This event will be video teleconferenced to all campuses.

Statistics: It's Not Just for STEM Anymore! Conduct Research in ANY Discipline Using Statistical Analysis
Gainesville Campus | Watkins Building 182
The scholarship of teaching and learning provides important data for effective classroom instruction methods at the university level; these data are supported by statistical research not only in STEM fields, but also in the humanities. This one-hour statistics workshop is designed to support the research of all faculty and will provide important methods and tools for conducting quantitative research in the classroom. This research can, potentially, develop into publishable scholarship in the areas of teaching and learning.
The workshop and companion workbook will explain and guide the participants through several statistical methods useful to research with instruction on how to perform the data analysis using the statistical software package, Minitab. No statistical background is required. Included topics are:- Graphing distributions
- Shapes of distributions
- Measures of central tendency
- Measures of variation
- Best choice for central tendency and variation
- Bivariate data regression analysis
- Hypothesis Testing
RSVPs are required as class size is limited to 14. Please do not use the registration link! Instead RSVP to rsvp.ctll@ung.edu with the following subject line: "Statistics Workshop 10/5." Questions about content can be directed to Gina Reed @ Gina.Reed@ung.edu. -

The Office of Research and Engagement invites faculty and staff to submit abstracts for the 2016 UNG Symposium on Innovation, Research and Engagement (SOIRE), formerly UNG Faculty Research Day. This second annual symposium will showcase faculty and staff scholarship from across all campuses of the university, drawing together academics from a broad range of disciplines, to celebrate our achievements.

We do a lot of stuff: teach classes, sit on committees, browse through recent journals in our field. And we have a lot of our own text on our computers and in file folders: a dissertation, thesis, seminar papers from grad school, lecture notes, conference talks. In this workshop, we give concrete advice for carving a journal article from the mountain of professional live. Writing a journal article doesn't need to start from scratch. Most of what you need, you already have.
This workshop will be available via video teleconference on four campuses. Faculty on the Blue Ridge Campus who wish to participate may contact Micheal Rifenburg to arrange a face to face meeting during which they can review workshop materials with a Blue Ridge faculty member.

Few things are as opaque but vitally important than intellectual property—especially in the increasing digital age in which we live, teach, and write. The Framers of the Constitution granted Congress the ability to secure "for Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their Respective Writings and Discoveries."
Terri Bell, Sr. Library Assistant/Copyright Compliance, will join us to consider what your need to know about intellectual property for your writing and what "Writings and Discoveries" mean for your field.

Modeled on the "Safe Zone" program, Green Zone is designed for faculty and staff to receive training about issues potentially facing active service members, student veterans, and their families.
This training will provide faculty, staff, and students with an understanding of the military experience of military connected students and families as they transition from the military to campus life. This training opportunity will also bring awareness of community resources available to military-connected students and families on and off our campus.
Participants who complete the training will receive a sign to display in their office and have their name listed on our website as having completed the training.
Green Zone Training will provide participants with the following:- An understanding of the military experience and emotional cycle of deployment.
- An understanding of the potential issues facing undergraduate and graduate student veterans as they transition from the military to our campus.
- An awareness of the resources available to student veterans and their families on and off our campus.
Green Zone Allies are not expected to be experts or mental health counselors. Green Zone Allies are a sympathetic ear and someone who can refer a student veteran to appropriate on-campus resources.

When preparing a manuscript for publication, we are faced with at least two kinds of revision: inward and outward. In other words, some of our revision is spurred by our reading closely and making our own changes. Other kinds of revision are spurred by reader feedback. Both are tough reflective activities but are central to scholarly productivity.
Come and learn some tips for working the cyclical relationship between writing and revision.
This workshop will be available via video teleconference on all five campuses.
