Humanizing Learning: Concepts And Strategies To Design And Implement Now, Melony Shemberger
Humanizing Learning: Concepts And Strategies To Design And Implement Now, Melony Shemberger
Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
Humanizing teaching supports the affective and cognitive dimensions of learning. The concept often is used in online education, but it is necessary for any modality to build a learning environment that is relationship-rich. This article discusses the principles and elements of humanized learning, helpful theoretical frameworks, and strategies that can be implemented and practiced in any instructional setting.

SoTL Commons Conference
Concept-based teaching is an innovative pedagogy that allows for meaningful building and transfer of knowledge, especially in nursing education (Morse & Jutras, 2008). The University of Calgary in Qatar (UCQ) has recently adopted in the concept-based approach in curriculum design with an aim to produce the next generation of nurses who can seamlessly transfer knowledge learned from their didactic experience to the bedside. In our poster board presentation, we will highlight the effectiveness of the innovative, concept-based teaching practices employed in Family in Nursing in an online setting. Our group utilized different techniques and modalities such as exemplars and gamification …

Pedagogicon Conference Proceedings
The Agile Course Design Institute, created for faculty at a regional public university, utilized an agile thinking lens to model flexible, interactive learning. The Institute framework consisted of three core factors: sense of belonging, students’ bandwidth, and interaction and engagement. Faculty participated in online synchronous and asynchronous settings to develop agile courses. In doing so, they gained insights into the experiences their students might have in remote learning. Examples from the Institute and participant work are explored through a “Why” (purpose/outcome), “What” (connections to the ACDI framework), and “How” (tools and strategies) structure.

Redesigning And Undergraduate Engineering Course, Elise Barrella
Interdisciplinary STEM Teaching & Learning Conference (2012-2019)
The presentation will consist of two parts: (1) description of the introductory engineering course and the experience of using a backwards design approach to create a more learner-centered and active course and (2) group discussion of simple, successful techniques for creating a more learner-centered course. The course was redesigned as part of a preparatory teaching program for graduate students.
