| The Game is Afoot! Embedded Tutors use Gamification Techniques to Motivate Online Learners |
Jo Hutterli |
The Center for Academic Vision & Excellence (CAVE) supports student success through the innovative practice of embedding peer-tutors in the online modality (Zoom rooms) of hybrid classrooms. The embedded tutors work collaboratively with instructors by working with the students assigned to the online rotation of the classroom, while the instructor works from the on-ground classroom. To enhance student engagement and increase motivation, particularly in the connected classroom, the embedded tutors use elements of gaming during a portion of the class time to reinforce collaborative learning and create a sense of community amongst the online and on-ground students. |

In this session the presenters will present their effective use of worksheets and quizzes in graduate and undergraduate courses. While the professors use different tools, they have similar pedagogical goals. Both practices (worksheets and quizzes) have proven adaptable and successful in the transition to various distance learning modalities. The session will include practical tips for managing our software as well as theoretical tips for developing your own resources. |

| Strategies to Make Your Zoom Classroom More Inclusive |

Inclusive teaching – “the practice of embracing student diversity and designing courses in ways that reach all students” (Hogan & Sathy, 2020) is critical in all classroom environments, but perhaps more challenging in virtual ones. Participants in this session will leave with simple, yet impactful strategies to reach all students. |

| Shock and Awe: The Use Of YouTube to Cultivate Meaningful Critical Conversations on Diversity issues |
Cam Silver |
Teaching minority/cultural studies or social science classes may seem more challenging in a polarized world. As a Saint Leo faculty member who taught at Pasco County Jail; the power of visuals helps the students understand complex issues on diversity. The use of controversial YouTube channels such as Buzzfeed, Cut Video, and Vox creates a familiar area of confronting that allows students to comment and reinforce the content critically. This workshop will feature different scenarios where my use of YouTube helped bridged the divide and created a welcoming environment to make students' views heard by not straying from the course content. |

| Concerned about Academic Integrity? It’s Time to Rethink Traditional Models of Testing |
Melissa Jones |
As we have shifted courses to online and hybrid delivery, questions about cheating, plagiarism, and academic dishonesty have continued to dominate many of our conversations. With an ever-growing list of technologies like Course Hero, Quizlet, and Photomath, we find ourselves engaging in heated debates about the use of proctoring tools and online surveillance that often lead to more divisions than solutions. In this session, we set aside those reactive debates and emphasize strategies to supplement traditional tests and replace high-stakes exams with authentic assessments. By focusing on authentic assessments, we are able to ask questions and devise assignments that measure learning, not our students’ abilities to find the answers. While we recognize that testing will always serve an important role in universities, during this idea-generating session, we will examine various scenarios and explore examples of authentic assessments that can be incorporated across a variety of courses and are appropriate for any discipline. |
