The CVC Course Design Rubric is being revised, and this webinar offers an overview look at the work behind that effort. Designed for all California community college faculty, this session focuses on how the rubric is being shaped, not a walkthrough of the draft itself. Presenters will share what has been learned through statewide listening […]
Does the rise of AI tools change how we teach? Does it change what we teach?

AI raises many practical questions about our day-to-day teaching, but it also presents an opportunity to […]

Online lab sciences leverage innovative strategies and technology to meet traditional lab learning outcomes. Joann Eisberg’s online astronomy labs use a variety of tools and resources that allow students to formulate scientific investigations, observe/measure phenomena, and gather/analyze/report qualitative and quantitative data. Students may choose among online simulations, online data sets, hands-on activities using common household items, and naked-eye observation, so that all can equitably participate. In this Share Showcase webinar, Joann will provide a brief tour of her fully online, fully OER course, share her teaching strategies, and survey other promising online astronomy lab resources.
Presenter: Joann Eisberg, Chaffey College, Astronomy Faculty
Before attending this webinar, we recommend watching "Online Course Development & Delivery: Science Labs", a video archive of a session presented at OTC 2019 that provides a general introduction to teaching science lab courses online.

Humanized online teaching practices support the non-cognitive or affective dimensions of student learning. Many students who enroll in online courses, particularly those from minoritized backgrounds, do not successfully log in and complete the first week successfully. Weeks 0-1 comprise a high opportunity zone for increasing the percentage of students who succeed online.
In this session, Fabiola and Michelle will share examples of humanized practices from their online courses that use Google Sites to create a Liquid Syllabus and a Welcome Package for students. Sent before day one, (or embedded in online campus directories) students tap the link and are instantly taken to an accessible webpage that renders beautifully on their phone. By embedding a brief video of yourself at the top of the page, your students will be greeted by your warm, smiling face and feel supported to log-in and be successful in week one.
Presenters:
Fabiola Torres, Ethnic Studies Faculty at Glendale College and CVC-OEI/@ONE facilitator
Michelle Pacansky-Brock, Faculty Mentor, Online Teaching & Learning for CVC-OEI
