Digital Badges: A Focus On Skill Acquisition, Ben Malczyk
Digital Badges: A Focus On Skill Acquisition, Ben Malczyk
Innovation in Pedagogy and Technology Symposium
Statement of the issue: There has been a trend in higher education to focus less on content coverage and to instead focus on student skill development. Digital badges represent one approach to focus on student demonstration of skill. Badges provide students with opportunities to learn, practice and ultimately be assessed on demonstration of a skill.
Description of the project: Social work faculty designed two social work courses to incorporate badging exercise. The course required students to complete badges in areas such as self-care, utilization of APA citations, uploading videos into Canvas, and other skills necessary for students to succeed. Rather …

One of the goals of OneIT is to maximize the purchasing power by consolidating contracts and utilizing common systems. UNK, UNL and UNO utilized a product called EMS for event scheduling. CSC, UNL and UNO used R25/S25 for academic scheduling. The University was able to license the EMS scheduling solution for all of the Universities and State Colleges for both academic scheduling/optimization and event scheduling in one contract. The implementation of the shared EMS system is underway and will go-live …

Collaborating Across Nu For Accessible Video, Heath Tuttle, Jane Petersen, Jaci Lindburg
Innovation in Pedagogy and Technology Symposium
Recent budget trends have led to more collaboration across university systems. These collaborations help members solve common problems, share resources, and develop and support innovative initiatives beyond what individual institutions could do alone. Historically, higher education institutions have fallen behind in ensuring accessibility for teaching and learning systems in general, and specifically for video. In the past several years, the University of Nebraska campuses have seen an increased need to meet accessibility requirements for video, particularly in online courses. In this session, members of ITS from each campus will present processes and outcomes that led to selecting ilos as the …

Broaden Your Passion! Women In Stem, Barbara Oakley
Innovation in Pedagogy and Technology Symposium
Women and men develop with equal, often outstanding, abilities in math and science. However, one of women’s advantages is that they also often have a developmental edge over men when it comes to verbal abilities. The result? When women hear the ubiquitous advice to “follow their passions,” they sometimes turn towards their undeniable strengths outside STEM. Some subjects—like STEM—take longer for women and men to master. This talk helps women recognize that it’s sometimes important to be patient with passion—don’t just follow your passions, broaden them!

Innovation in Pedagogy and Technology Symposium
This presentation will focus on the findings of a research study designed to evaluate different modes of course delivery in a Genitourinary Sonography course. The purpose of the study was two-fold, first to determine if the mode of delivery (traditional, on-line, flipped) affects student satisfaction in a genitourinary sonography course and second to evaluate overall course outcomes.
The study reviewed current data over a 9-year period from a single sonography course offered in the spring semester of a 12-month Bachelor of Science health professions program. During the first three years (2010- 2012), the course was offered in a traditional, lecture …

Your Learners, Their Devices & You: Incorporating Byod Technology Into Your Didactics, Tedd Welniak
Innovation in Pedagogy and Technology Symposium
It is theorized that mobile technology, in its place alongside other “intellectual technologies” throughout human history, has contributed to significant shifts in the way that newer generations discover, interpret, interact with, and learn new information. The BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) movement in education has been touted as a means of actively and individually engaging these learners with content using technology that many of them may already own or are familiar with. The depth to which this movement has been applied in the medical and graduate medical education communities has been variable, partly owing to the fact that only recently …
