At the University of Central Oklahoma, we are guided by the mission of helping students learn by providing transformative experiences so that they may become productive, creative, ethical and engaged citizens and leaders contributing to the intellectual, cultural, economic and social advancement of the communities they serve. Transformative learning is a holistic process that places students at the center of their own active and reflective learning experiences. A student’s major field is central to the learning experience and is a vital part of the “Central Six.”

All students will be transformed with:

Discipline Knowledge, Leadership, Problem Solving (Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activities), Service Learning and Civic Engagement, Global and Cultural Competencies, and Health and Wellness.

Dear UCO Faculty Members,

I am delighted to welcome you to the University of Central Oklahoma, to the 14th Annual Collegium on College Teaching Practice, and to the myriad opportunities for you to help our students learn and thrive. Here you will find the learning environment for you to explore and expand your professional curiosity.

This is a defining moment for both the university and higher education in general. Your continuing personal and professional growth and development are as essential to the university as they are to you.

This university community is proud of its scholarly accomplishments and demonstrated sense of service and engagement. We are confident that you will make a substantive contribution to cultivating the culture of learning and discovery here. I urge you to make a special effort to connect with our students as a teacher, mentor and model. You as faculty are the life force of the institution.

UCO is committed to intentionally prepare and inspire those who seek a pathway to their future here. We are focused on growing the next generation of leaders who embody the university’s advocacy of character, civility and community. Our responsibility is to prepare them for a world of change we can imagine and project, but not know with certainty. Therefore, we must offer a culture of learning, habits and values which will serve our students well as they learn, adapt and learn again in the world of increasing access, connectivity and ambiguity.

I heartily welcome you to UCO and to our passion for learning, leading and serving. I urge you to be an engaged member of our community. We will meet soon.

Sincerely,

Don Betz

All students will be transformed with:

Discipline Knowledge, Leadership, Problem Solving (Research, Scholarly, and Creative Activities), Service Learning and Civic Engagement, Global and Cultural Competencies, and Health and Wellness.

Welcome to the 14th Annual Collegium on College Teaching Prac-tice at the University of Central Oklahoma, the first major faculty enhancement opportunity on our campus of the 2013-2014 aca-demic year.

We know that faculty members lead us in creating a culture of discovery that now extends beyond the traditional borders of the university campus. This creation is born with our mission of helping students learn and a curriculum that is enhanced by our commitment to high-impact practices through the Central Six of Transformative Learning. This Collegium is built on the premise that we can increase student engagement in education through these practices while creating benefits to our faculty members in the process.

In addition to the highly anticipated keynote address this year by Dr. José Bowen, you will be introduced to a multitude of workshops and other enhancement opportunities that encourage the develop-ment of high-impact learning practices on our campus. And we will not stop with today’s activities. The Collegium is simply the begin-ning point for an entire year of such enhancement activities that will include topics such as Learning Communities, Active Learning Strategies, and the Scholarship of Teaching. We will explore these and other topics in the context of our dynamic role in the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area, the State of Oklahoma, and the global com-munity we now inhabit in Higher Education.

Dr. Jeff King, Executive Director of the Center for Excellence in Transformative Teaching and Learning (CETTL), and I encourage your participation in one or more of this year’s many faculty en-hancement events. Thank you for being part of this day, and the year yet to come.

Welcome to the Collegium on College Teaching Practice, an annual event presented as a collaboration among Academic Affairs, CETTL, UCO’s faculty, and UCO staff who work with faculty to assist them in teaching their students. Today’s program has been developed with the assistance of many of your colleagues, and the nine concurrent sessions presented today reflect their commitment to Transformative Learning, the teacher-scholar model, and the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

CETTL’s mission is to provide professional and leadership development to facultyas they create activities and environments in which Transformative Learning is most likely to occur, usually because one or more high-impact practices are in use. Be-cause UCO’s mission is to help students learn by providing transformative education-al experiences, CETTL’s focus on providing resources to enable faculty to engineer such experiences is both important and in itself transformative. We look forward to continuing, and to expanding, our support of UCO’s community of teacher-scholars as they facilitate the transformative education our students must experience in preparation for the demands facing 21st-century global citizens.

For the 2013-2014 academic year, CETTL’s activities will include: • The annual Collegium on College Teaching Practice • The annual New Faculty Orientation• The annual UCO Teaching & Learning Institute• Two mini-curricula (3 50-min workshop sessions), one on transformative learning, one on active learning• Planning, organizing and sponsoring several Lunch & Learn workshops related to TL and high-impact instructional practices • Faculty-driven Book Groups• Stand-alone seminars, webinars and local presentations on issues related to the Scholarship of Teaching & Learning (SoTL)• Launching an Adjunct Faculty Development Asynchronous Online Curriculum• Confidential teaching consultations

Keynote SpeakerDr. José Bowen

Dr. Bowen’s keynote address, “Taming the Technology Tiger by Teach-ing Naked,” will be informed by his take on preserving the magic in the classroom by moving as much “content delivery” as possible outside the classroom, much of it before the class meeting.

“But,” you object, “students don’t read the material before they come to class.”

Fear not. Dr. Bowen has a solution — elegantly simple, very effective, and a true value-add strategy for frustrated instructors worried about “not covering” the material in class via lecture.

As a master of technology (in spite of his advocacy for removing as much technology as possible from the classroom), Dr. Bowen will share ideas and strategies that are eminently workable and practice-tested for ramping up student engagement, thereby leading to better achievement of student learning outcomes. You’ll recognize high-impact instructional practices among his techniques, something important for UCO faculty who work to create learning environments and activities that are mindfully designed to prompt Transformative Learning experiences among our students.

We are pleased to bring you this keynote address by this renowned educa-tor. Dr. José Bowen, author of Teaching Naked: How Moving Technology Out of Your College Classroom Will Improve Student Learning, will con-nect in multiple ways with UCO faculty focused on teaching transforma-tively.

Dr. José Bowen dean of SMU’s Meadows School of the Arts, took a thoughtful look at technology in the classroom and decided it was too distracting, that professors needed to focus more on interacting with stu-dents and less on PowerPoint.

In Teaching Naked: How Moving Technology Out of Your College Class-room Will Improve Student Learning, Bowen relies upon his 30 years of teaching experience to put forth a methodology for using technology out-side of the classroom to create a more challenging and meaningful in-class experience.

“Effective university professors need to teach naked,” explains Bowen. “It’s not what you think: If higher education is going to remain competitive in the future, we must strip technology from the college classroom and fo-cus our energies on strengthening the unique value of a traditional liberal arts education: student-to-faculty interaction, small group discussions and engaged, interactive learning. Technology is great for content, but discus-sion is still the best way to challenge and open minds.”

Use of iPads for Evaluation of Skills Proficiency

Using Learn@UCO (D2L) to Achieve the Flipped Classroom

Walking and Learning: Integrating the New Outdoor Campus Labyrinth in Your Courses

D E S C R I P T I O N

In nursing courses students learn many psychomotor skills and are required to demonstrate proficiency. In spring 2013 IPADs were used to record each proficiency demonstration. Students watched the video immediately after the recording. The use of this process fostered reflection and facilitated more accurate self-evaluations. The video was a valuable resource for discussions between faculty and students. Students initiated more conversations on acceptable versus unaccept-able variations in procedures and the potential outcomes on clients. More students were observed practicing together in open lab. Session will include strategies for saving the videos to D2L and uses in other disciplines.

The flipped classroom model has caught the attention of higher edu-cation faculty as a means of encouraging deeper student learning. While the benefits of this model are highly touted, the challenges of its implementation can be significant, such as efficiently making lecture-based content available online or ensuring that outside-of-class resources are used by students. Fortunately, the Learn@UCO suite of eLearning technologies provides many tools that can help faculty over-come the barriers to flipping the classroom. This session will highlight strategies for leveraging D2L and other Learn@UCO technologies to help faculty successfully accomplish the flipped classroom.

This interactive session will introduce participants to the newly con-structed permanent labyrinth on campus and also include the benefits of using the labyrinth to engage students in transformative learning. Participants will hear from a panel of UCO faculty who have integrated the labyrinth in their courses, and participants will also have the op-portunity to experience the new labyrinth and be a part of our campus history since UCO is the first public university in the state of Oklahoma to create a permanent labyrinth on campus.

Getting to Naked Requires a Bit of “Taking Off” – or Perhaps Transformation

Digitally Transformed Faculty: Tales of Two IPad-Using Professors

Using SoTL to Show Evidence of Learning and Transformative Outcomes

Continuing the conversation...

D E S C R I P T I O N

The paradigm shift from faculty-centered to learner-centered, from content focused to process focused, is still in transition and the ele-ments of faculty transformation will be the focus of this interactive session. We will dig into the changes required of faculty to be facilita-tors of transformation, looking into affective and effective domains. Take a risk and join us in this discussion. Transformative learning occurs when an individual experiences a change in their perspective and in their worldview. For faculty to cre-ate an environment in which transformative learning can flourish, they must first go through the process themselves. During this session, the presenters will discuss how their participation in UCO’s Digital Central Academy (formerly iPad Academy) has allowed them to use iPads to effectively transform their faculty work both in and out of the classroom. Through real-world examples, this session will encourage attendees to see beyond the technology to the potentials for the future of education.

We identify course and transformative outcomes on our syllabi. Can we show how students are achieving them? Creating a schol-arship of teaching and learning (SoTL) project can help clarify where, when, or how these are occurring. SoTL can also assist with transformative outcomes. For instance if the course satisfies problem solving as a transformative learning outcome, have we intentional designed a learning environment where students might move from “exposure” or “immersion” of knowledge to a “shift” in their consciousness? SoTL projects are easy to develop and can help us make “naked teaching” more effective: teaching becomes more satisfying, learning deepens, and results become products for publications or presentations. Upon leaving this workshop, you will have in hand a potential (1) research question, (2) research de-sign, and (3) outline for a SoTL publication.

Continue the conversation with Dr. José Bowen about the concepts and strategies he shared during his keynote. In this more informal session, you’ll have the opportunity to ask ques-tions, get into more of the details about processes and tools you might want to use in your classroom to “teach naked,” and you’ll be able to exchange thoughts and ideas with one of the leading voices in higher education about using technology well and flipping the classroom to best advantage.

Do you want to incorporate Service Learning into your class and en-sure that your students have a meaningful learning experience? Are you stuck as to where you should begin? Come to this session to learn about resources that are available on campus through the Volun-teer and Service Learning Center.

This presentation will highlight UCO Peer Health Education, an effective network to encourage, support, and promote healthy living. The panel will discuss an evaluation research study conducted for Peer Health Education that took place in the fall 2010 and was used for internal improvement purposes. The aim of the evaluation was to assess the impacts that Peer Educator program was making on the Peer Educators themselves through the use of both quantitative and qualitative data. Specifically, the components of Transformative Learning were assessed, as well as pre and post test attitudes, skills and beliefs of the educators.

Ever wish there were a few extra hours in the day to accomplish everything that needed to get done? This session presents five easy tips that help students learn while saving you valuable time throughout the semester. Tips will address common challenges associated with communicating with students, providing effective feedback, tracking student progress, making class resources available to students, and be-ing responsive to students’ learning needs. You will leave with practical skills to implement these valuable tips before the start of classes!
