RAW NOTES FOR PLANNING THIS SESSION
Extracted from text chats from Symposium Sessions by SSG 20101001

August 2 and 9, 2010 symposium notes

Helping encourage, enable more students to prepare for class sessions

Steve Gilbert, TLT Group 2: Saundra: Strategy - give students very simple, very clear guidance about HOW to PREVIEW - in a way that seems easy, effective

idea--preview guidelines...read first sentence in each section or each paragraph? see bold words and italics? form 2-3 questions for instructor? what else?


Saundra McGuire: See www.cas.lsu.edu for more info.

Saundra McGuire: On the website go to learnng strategies, and then on-line workshops.





MENTOR Program


Does anyone know of ANY other programs in which faculty grant applicants must specifically identify some mentees or other kinds of beneficiaries as part of the application process?


1. What is drawing the mentees to this? Mentors and mentees tenure/ tenure-track or adjunct faculty?

2. how the applicants found their Mentees? Any clues yet about what kinds of colleagues agreed to be Mentees?

3. When do you award the $$? What made you decide on the figure $2,000? Did any Mentors offer to split the stipend with the Mentees? Can stipend be sent to the depts and faculty use the money for travel, supplies, etc - so taxes are not an issue.

4. What is the profile of the mentors? Are they early adopters?

5. which academic disciplines did they represent? did you target any particular under utilizing disciplines?

6. What type of assessment will you conduct? In your assessment, will you assess the students in the targeted courses?


8. Beyond the initial meetings to talk about learner-centered pedagogy, what other formal sessions do you have?

9. What kinds of tech are they ordering besides iPads?

10.What kind of support does the library provide?




J voice thread - very neat tool

Steve Gilbert, TLT Group: SheriS e.g., VoiceThread





Is there a student learning center at Temple? If so, are they involved in any way?

Is there interaction among ''learning centers'' and ''teaching/learning centers''

HAVE HAD STUDENT REPRESENTATION ON TLTR - TRIED TO GET MORE STUDENT INPUT INTO THIS PROGRAM


Student representation is good, but a university wide learning center, such as those that are members of the National College Learning Center Association (NCLCA)would be very useful to students and faculty. The efforts of these centers is quite different (but complementary) to teaching and learning centers (which have a faculty focus.)





I like the idea of mentoring the mentors

-Mentor the Mentors who Mentor the Mentees!

I like the idea of mentoring the TLTR too
