The Background
我在previo开始提供Facul-Tea会话us program area as a way to keep full-time and part-time faculty connected with one another and to create a space where we could learn about new technology tools to implement in class. The sessions are informative, collegial and concise — taking only 15-30 minutes. During my time as a DELTA Faculty Fellow, I was invited to expand the offering of Facul-Tea sessions promoted as workshops by DELTA to the entire university during the Spring 2022 semester.
The Format
FACUL-TEA是一项短暂的专业开发产品，通常长15分钟，但本学期通过Delta提供了30分钟的课程。该格式通常包括一些人提供7-8分钟的内容，围绕预定的主题提供7-8分钟的内容，然后出席会议的人进行对话，分享示例，挑战，建议和资源。一种shared notes documentcan be kept to capture the discussion and serves as a resource for those in attendance to refer back to after the session is over.
Topics and Conversations
In early January we held a Facul-Tea titled,Synergetic Learning Through Sketchnotes in Online Classes.Conversations centered around how to apply the use of Sketchnotes in various ways to engage learners. Attendees shared resources and ideas that were relevant despite the difference in specialty areas. The topics and conversations have been intentionally planned to benefit all instructors across the university.
Other topics this year have included:
- Using Team Contracts for Group Management in an Asynchronous Course
- Structuring Courses to Encourage Intrinsically Motivated Learning Online
- Measuring and Addressing Missing Prerequisite Skills and Knowledge in Moodle
Facul-Tea session topics do not need to be specific to distance education, however, with this DELTA partnership, the topics were intentionally designed around online teaching and learning skills.
邀请facul-tea
In order to spread the word about upcoming Facul-Tea professional development offerings, an email and social media-friendly sized postcard invitation is created and distributed. Below is the invitation created for our February 2022 Facul-Tea aroundUsing Team Contracts for Group Management in an Asynchronous Course.
Professional Development Among Highly Competent Audiences
教师在学科领域受过良好的教育，并且具有极高的能力。然而，要保持最新的教学实践，尤其是围绕技术工具及其最佳实施，可能需要一致的专业发展。培训高能力的受众可能会具有挑战性，而Accultea则提供了一种介绍在线教学和学习的新工具的方法，同时捕捉房间中的共同能力。与会者积极参与分享自己的经验和围绕所选主题的经验教训。
分享和成长的学期
一种s faculty have faced major disruption in 2020 and have needed to demonstrate continual agility through 2021 and 2022, having a space to talk freely and exchange experiences about tools that can help student learning or tools to steer clear of is really helpful. Learning from other people’s challenges and brainstorming ways to implement online teaching and learning practices from instructors has been beneficial because Facul-Tea participants do not have to work in silos through reinventing the wheel. Also, they can avoid mistakes from lessons learned by their peers.
Facul-Tea is a relaxed but impactful way for instructors to stay current and try new things through sharing while continually growing through continual improvement practices without giving up a half-day of their time. Topics that intrigue faculty during a Facul-Tea can be examined more in-depth later and the community in attendance support each other beyond the 30-minute session. During one of the Facul-Tea sessions, three faculty members from various colleges on campus discovered shared research areas of interest. Since then, they have been collaborating on a research project that stemmed from a discussion that happened after the Facul-Tea session.
未来的话题
未来的主题围绕有助于HyFlex教学的工具，例如Panopto和吸引在线学习者，例如YellowDig，Playposit和H5P，将有所帮助。这些主题将为教师带来一个面对面教学的教师，同时提供同步的在线课程访问。
If you have ideas for helpful topics you would like to see at a FaculTea session or if you are interested in facilitating a session, please reach out todeltaworkshops@ncsu.edu.
