Here is a preview of some of the mythbusting that we’ll be doing: “When I talk to students about taking online courses, I advise them to think carefully about their strengths and areas of struggle, learning styles, and the discipline of the class they are considering taking online in order to ensure a good fit. I give them the example that I personally would feel confident taking any Humanities or Social Science class online, but would really hesitate to take a science or math class online; however, I would be willing to take THIS online math class and would feel very comfortable doing so.” — Reviewer of Math 1220 – Calculus II

We look forward to seeing everyone on July 17.

The Summer 2015 ID Summit will be held on July 17 from 10-2. Our theme for the summit is Mythbusters. The speakers and activities will focus on busting learning science and instructional design myths.

We will be holding it in the Oak Room of the Student Center (STC) at the Redwood Salt Lake Community College campus (4600 S Redwood Rd, Salt Lake City, UT 84123).  Attendees can park in visitor parking just north of the student center (see map). Parking validation will be provided. We will also provide an option to attend virtually.

If you are interested in attending, please register. We look forwarding to seeing you there!

This past summer Dr. Joel Gardener of Franklin University presented to ID Summit. We now have the video of his presentation available.

The University of Utah was kind enough to film the Spring 2015 ID Summit presentations and make them available. Slides for some presentations are also available:

We are pleased to announce the next ID Summit will be held on March 20 at the University of Utah Marriott Library. The theme of this ID Summit will be leveraging media in courses. We are planning for the following speakers:

Keynote Speaker
“Assessing Rights and Risks: How to Help Faculty and Instructors Navigate Copyright Policies”
Allyson Mower, Scholarly Communications & Copyright Librarian, University of Utah

Knowing just a few basics about your campus policy on using copyrighted works can help make course design and management easier. This session will cover the main elements of the U of U policy on copying, briefly discuss how it relates to other policies from Utah institutions of higher education, and address ways of incorporating fair use principles into  the course design process.

“Leverage Content Repositories and Video in Instructional Design”
Nathan Sanders, Instructional Designer, University of Utah
Adam Stewart, Video & Events Manager, University of Utah

“What’s really going on here? Discussing Kaltura Analytics with Faculty”
Seth Gurell, Director – Instructional Design Services, Utah Valley University

Learning analytics is an active, emerging area of interest in our field.  Although there have been advancements in the technology, integration into practice lags. This presentation will examine UVU’s efforts in discussing Kaltura analytics with faculty.

If you are interested in attending, please sign up. Parking will be available in the East Stadium parking lot (labeled “09” below).

If you have any questions, please contact Seth Gurell (801-863-7351; seth dot gurell @ nospam uvu.edu.
