Course Description https://ocs.calstate.edu/courses

I’m going to stay muted as there’s construction taking place next door & it’s loud. Cal Poly SLO is offering our Intro to Online Teaching again this summer (4-week) but we are going to incorporate hybrid practices in the course for those who want to leverage online in their courses moving forward but who don’t want to deliver fully online.

Bichronous

We’re categorizing that under the (FO) Face-to-face Online category.

Fresno State: Currently in a holding pattern for campus training on hy flex, not exactly sure what this will look like at this point. Faculty are finishing up ACUE and the Inclusive Learning and Teaching Cert.

Will post a link

Chico: we are primarily focusing on hyflex, we will have a GoFlex training (possibly two) and we are working on a call for applications. In Faculty Development we are focusing more on experiential learning in another training, based on workshops that will give tools for very practical application in the class. But the big training are about hyflex technology and pedagogy, and we are partnering with academic technologies and classroom technology.

We are still working on our summer plan at Sac State, but will most likely have IYOC and APPQMR embedded as part of our faculty learning communities with additional deliverables such as peer review of courses. We will also launch a summer institute later in May with a focus on flexible instructions and equity.

SDSU is planning a two-pronged two-week training in the first two weeks of August. One track will focus on instructors who have already been through the Flexible Course Design Institute (Summer 2020 or Winter 2021). The other track will focus on instructors who have somehow not received any training regarding online teaching.

CSUB: Rebecca Weller is working on continuing training. We are switching to Canvas and a lot of trainings have been geared to LMS. Summer programming still in the works.

Fullerton - we'll be running sections again this summer of our Remote Teaching in Canvas - beginner, intermediate and a new advanced level. We'll also have 2 DYOC online cohort sections, one in June and one in July. We'll have 2 sections of our Blended/Flipped Design program. And we'll encourage OCS offerings this summer as well.

yes

SDSU website: https://its.sdsu.edu/covid-19/flex/

It is fully online, we’ll teach about hybrid

HSU will be offering our Pivot to Online Learning and Teaching course this summer - details here: https://sites.google.com/humboldt.edu/pivotliquidsyllabus/home Prioritization and compensation will be given to new online courses and/or hyflex or bisynchronous courses

Probably get back to campus in Fall

CSUSB: Have just received approval from Faculty Senate to adopt Canvas alongside Blackboard for Fall 2021, so online courses will be designed in Canvas from now on. We are planning a Summer Virtual Teaching Institute, in which faculty will take a short Canvas training course and then either QLT Q1 or Q3; finally, they and their dept chair commit to develop a quality online course for AY 2022-2023 guided by QLT core 24 evaluation instrument. We will also provide training in using our "Next Generation Smart Classrooms," designed to facilitate excellent cosynchronous teaching by faculty.

Also maybe a re-do of Rebecca’s TOPS training. Four days, one hour synchronous

We’re not back on campus yet - yes, correct

CSUCI: Working on guides too building a course backbone to support flexible learning. Not sure on branding. Working on breaking up previous online teaching & learning courses into mini-modules. Like @Deb said, our faculty are burnt out. We are working on ‘Short’ self-paced engagements and then layering over opportunities for more facilitated options. Not sure what that’s going to look like, we are drafting in Google Docs and using Duke’s Flexible Teaching website as a model but changing the content to match our campus terms and faculty/student needs (their site is CC-BY). We are looking into a pilot with OneHE. We also have Humanizing STEM Academy participation. Right now getting a pulse and organizing (cleaning up) all that was created and 3rd party options (CO Trainings, OneHE, etc).

Cal Poly’s senate resolution with modality definitions is here: https://content-calpoly-edu.s3.amazonaws.com/academicsenate/1/images/AS-896-20.pdf - I am still looking for the CSU AS document we took the definitions from

Are campuses planning to offer stipends for faculty participation?

CSUDH: We are waiting on budget decisions but we are planning a couple of summer micro courses. And we are working on recruiting a college/department cohort for QM and we are setting up a schedule/pipeline for QM course certification and to build department/college specific facilitator. There will be some training around BB ultra since this training is happening. We should have QM page on our FDC page soon.

How are campuses helping faculty asses the quality of the remote courses they’ve built and leverage their work moving ahead?

Long Beach: We are offering 2 tiers of training. Still in development, but that will include a beginner track (similar to last summer) and a more advanced track for those who want more teaching strategies and revolving around 24-30 QM standards and teaching modes. Both will be offered fully online with many synchronous sessions to build community. Hyflex or “flexible classroom” training will most likely be offered in August and still being developed in collaboration with our classroom techs and instructional designers.

@Megan we’re planning to offer stipends from HEERF funds, but of course nothing has been decided yet.

@Megan - HSU will offer PD funds based on the two priorities of our Provost’s Office: new online course development or hyflex

Thanks @Kim, @Deb

@Ashley, SFSU is likewise wrapping up ACUE and participating in the Humanizing STEM Academy

EB has planned a virtual summer institute with conference style programming to manage different levels and provide choice of hands on versus presentation sessions. Also a cosynch 1/2 day co-synchronous workshop on cosynchronous teaching. So we will present on ground and attendees will have the option to attend either way. Our campus meets this week with three CFA per the recent communique to have the stipend approved by CFA.

@Megan great question! We’re hoping to use peer observation for that self-assessment and leveraging faculty’s new expertise going forward

The topics/modules are as follows: context, community, engagement, assessment, and adaption and innovation.

@Kim how are you defining Hyflex at HSU?

Chico ADD: we started a ChicoFlex Spring pilot with 5 faculty who will help us learn about hyflex pedagogy and help us plan the summer training. For the GoFlex trainings we have a budget for up to 200 faculty participants and 10 faculty mentors. This is the ChicoFlex website: https://www.csuchico.edu/tlp/chicoflex/index.shtml

@Deb will peer review be a faculty community supported by your unit? We tried feedback circles this semester.

@Megan, yes. I’m curious how your feedback circles went. You know we learned so much from you (2 years ago now?) when we met with you to learn about your peer review process!

We also created a series of videos to explain MOIs at Chico State and expectations about those MOIs: https://www.csuchico.edu/tlp/chicoflex/modes-instruction.shtml

@Deb we can meet for sure. I’d love to see the CSU start an ID to ID network!

@michelle, we’re hearing the same thing: faculty want to keep teaching online - even more so, they want to teach hybrid, maybe coming back to campus only 1 day a week

We created a quick workshop for our Course Information Management system to help faculty request other modalities

Not HSU

Fullerton is 65% f2f courses for Fall with prediction of zero social distance, full class sizes

Not SFSU either. They are leaving it up to faculty to decide.

We still don’t know

HSU expects to increase our current small F2F offerings by 30-40%

Chairs at Chico State also have received communication to increase F2F classes

Our dept is all staying home (psychology) as we had decide scheduling a while ago now.

CSUCI - It’s a moving target! Our goal is fully open, but each program is getting to make their own plans - which depends on Chairs and Deans

Yes, hearing from Chico & SDSU, I wonder if we’ll hear more of this too…

Remote/online a few F2F labs

We are also working on definitions, and not using hyflex unless a faculty states they want it. Workload issues are likely to arise because of the “three course” in one. The online campus is working with the English Department on a hyflex STUDENT model/pilot with 3 sections of a class each offered in one of the three modes with syllabi etc aligned and the students can flexibly move about from on ground, asynch, or synth online.

I’m concerned about participation too. We offered opportunities over Winter and we had almost 0 participation - but did not offer a stipend.

We offered a stipend for April workshops and have had near 0 response as well. Burnout is real.

Our personnel office told us that they have approved the stipend

^Yep @Catherine.

I have had a number of one on one requests to prepare syllabi for fall…ie to apply the things that folks have learned

^yes - I’m considering how to offer 1:1 support but we have limited capacity when it comes to personnel.

CSUSM is early stages of planning we don’t have any update right now

We are going to continue with the previous training online tools, online student engage, but we still don’t know if we are moving to canvas, we are waiting to know in order to have the proper training

@Daniel, thank you for your great work on anti-racist faculty development! As you know, we added it to our version of the QLT instrument (with attribution of course) and it’s vital. Thank you.

That’s great Daniel that are you using your work

This is great Daniel!

Very awesome! I am registered for this Friday: Decolonizing Psychology Training Virtual Conference scheduled for Friday, April 16, 2021 starting at 9:00 a.m. Love what you are doing!

Chico: we are primarily focusing on hyflex in summer, we will have a GoFlex training (possibly two) and we are working on a call for applications. In Faculty Development we are focusing more on experiential learning in another training, based on workshops that will give tools for very practical application in the class. But the big training are about hyflex technology and pedagogy, and we are partnering with academic technologies and classroom technology.

^yes - Daniel. Looking forward to more.

Sorry I have to leave, thank you

Thank you everyone for the support! If anyone is interested in piloting a program that looks at the efficacy of the anti-racist objectives in online teaching rubric, please send me an email. Maybe we could do a big study together! dsoodjinda@csustan.edu

@Daniel, yes!

thanks Daniel. I know of colleagues who would be very interested in collaborating.

I will share your email

Great! Thank you!

CSUB: May 3 registration opens; classes already determined —

SDSU Fall 2021 plan: https://newscenter.sdsu.edu/sdsu_newscenter/news_story.aspx?sid=78377

I'll be sharing that survey with a truckload of PSY 101 students in the final week of April. :)

Resilient and Hyflex would be great

Cal Poly’s senate resolution with modality definitions is here: https://content-calpoly-edu.s3.amazonaws.com/academicsenate/1/images/AS-896-20.pdf

Thanks @Catherine

Does anyone have recommendations for anti-racist training for faculty developers?

@Deb, Jennifer at SDSU developed an antiracist pedagogy

I wish I could take Daniel’s FLC!

Also, there is another antiracist pedagogy curriculum that was shared on POD. I will get the link right now

debperry@sfsu.edu

^Yes - I agree with Deb!

Thanks @kim and @allison

That would be awesome @Daniel!

@Daniel Y E S please

I’m in!

@USC: https://cue.usc.edu/

The syllabus review tool is very helpful ^

I’d be very interested in participating in that type of work this summer

@Daniel I am in, too!

@Daniel…sounds great

Deb: Shaun Harper

Thanks @Allison

USC Race and Equity Center Founder and Executive Director — amazing!

He does trainings

Bye everyone…I have a meeting at 10. Thanks so much!

Thank you everyone!

Thanks everyone for great conversation and sharing resources!

Thank you!

Bye everyone! Have to run to another meeting

Thank you all - Looking forward to learning more about AR QLT

Thank you!
