Event Description:
Have you wanted to get involved in mentoring undergraduate researchers, but weren’t sure how? Are you mentoring undergraduate researchers in the Spring semester and want some guidance on how to do it?

Then join us for the CETL Book Club: How to Get Started in Undergraduate Research. In this Book Club, we will discuss two short publications (30-40 pages each) from the Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR):

1. How to get started in research (by Thomas Goodwin, Bert Holmes, & K. Elaine Hoagland)

2. Reinvigorating the undergraduate research experience: Successful models supported by NSF’s AIRE/RAIRE program (edited by Linda Kauffman & Janet Stocks)

Quantities are limited to the first 14 registered. Each person shall receive a copy of each publication through campus mail. In the event that registered participants are not able to attend, we ask you return your book to CETL MB# 5400.

Event Description:
The purpose of this training is to introduce you to the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric for Online and Hybrid Courses and, thus, to provide you with a framework for designing or improving your online course. During this hands-on workshop, we will discuss the KSU Online Course Quality Initiative, examine the QM Rubric in detail, summarize the research on effective practices in online course design and delivery, review several exemplars of effective (and not-so-effective) online course design, and generate a personalized course development/improvement plan. In addition to identifying the various Internet resources and KSU groups that support effective online teaching and learning, we will conclude by outlining the online course submission and peer review processes at KSU. Any remaining time will be devoted to participant Q & A.

At the completion of this workshop, you will be able to:

• Describe the requirements of and the policies related to the KSU Online Course Quality Initiative.
• Summarize the underlying principles and essential standards of the Quality Matters Rubric.
• Recognize and integrate effective practices in your online course design and delivery.
• Use the Quality Matters Rubric to develop and evaluate your online course.
• Generate and execute an online course development/improvement plan.
• Identify the KSU groups that support online learning and the services provided by each team.
• Describe the KSU online course submission and peer review processes.

Participants should bring the following to the workshop:

• Tentative Course Syllabus
• Course text/ancillary materials

This training is designed for any individual who is interested in building or improving their online course, regardless of experience. Additional information will be sent to registered participants via email prior to the workshop.

Note: This workshop assumes you have a working knowledge of GeorgiaView Vista. If you do not, ITS Outreach (https://computertrain.kennesaw.edu/) provides training on Vista. Participants are strongly encouraged to compete the appropriate ITS training prior to attending the KSU/QM Online Course Development Workshop.

Event Description:
While the AAUP addresses general ethical responsibilities in its 1987 Statement on Professional Ethics and 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure, as faculty we face many dilemmas that represent ethical conflicts that are not necessarily explicitly addressed in the AAUP statements. As with any potential ethical dilemma, clear cut answers are not always evident. Using a case study approach, this series of workshops will explore the types of ethical dilemmas faced by faculty and discuss issues and solutions.

Workshop D focuses on ethical dilemmas with respect to relationship issues with students (i.e., acting as teachers, advisors, mentors, confidantes and role models to students while maintaining appropriate boundaries) and colleagues.

Workshop E focuses on issues related to instructor competency (e.g., psychological/physical impairment, apathy, working outside of expertise, lack of objectivity, or theoretical bias), confidentiality issues (e.g., insider information, student disclosures, students discussing private lives of other students or faculty), academic freedom, and institutional responsibilities..
