Understanding Multigenerational Nurse-Faculty-Collaboration Strategies-A Delphi Study, Heather M. Fowler

Nursing Theses and Dissertations

Four distinct generations have come together to work cooperatively, producing higher quality nursing students who are engaged and satisfied in their learning experience from nursing faculty. The multigenerational nursing faculty workforce must learn to work together through positive collaboration, using teamwork strategies, and decreasing conflict and negative influences in the workplace. Strauss and Howe’s (1991) generational-cycle model depicted four archetypes that recur throughout history every 22 years; the life stages of generations provided the foundation for this study. Generations can come together if they understand what various generational cohorts perceive as positive collaboration factors, teamwork strategies, and negative influences. A …

A Meme Is Worth A Thousand Words: Universal Communication Through Memes, Marisa Mcgrady, Kathryn Elizabeth Cook

Faculty and Staff Publications & Presentations

With the rise of the digital age has come about a new form of communicating concepts—the meme: repeatable, transferable information. The purpose of this project is to understand the inclusive nature of internet communication not restricted by barriers. This format plays with the boundaries to imagination, creating a new form of communication not relying on language, color, or shape, but the interchange of these within an established concept. Memes have created a universal, living form of expression irrelevant of culture, region, age, or language in which individuals cross normal borders of expression and communication. We attempt to define the modern …

Giving Faculty A Public Voice: Higher Education Must Incentivize Its Faculty To Publicly Disseminate Their Ideas, Grant K. Kimberlin

The Liminal: Interdisciplinary Journal of Technology in Education

This paper considers higher education’s response to fake news to be a responsibility to more effectively communicate its ideas to the general public. Considering how the changing information landscape cultivates and interprets knowledge increasingly with less and less academic involvement, the issue of a post-truth world renders it more necessary than ever for higher education to be an active participant in public discourse. Further, this paper acknowledges the difficulties of doing so and advocates providing career incentives to faculty to take up this challenge. Current incentives reward self-referential discourse within academia, but given the changing times it is crucial for …

Collaborating On Flipped Library Sessions: 8 Best Practices For Faculty & Librarians, Nicole R. Webber, Stephanie Wiegand

University Libraries Publications

Library instruction varies in format but often manifests in the librarian teaching a single, isolated class session—what librarians refer to as a “one-shot.” Many challenges accompany this traditional format, including time-constraints, disengaged audiences, and little understanding on the part of the student as to how the library instruction integrates with course content. Flipped Learning methods can help counter these challenges even when the overall course is not based on a flipped model. They liberate librarians and faculty from the one-shot model and expand opportunities for library instruction to occur at multiple times in a course, to be delivered virtually or …
