Track 1: How are you feeling today? Incorporating Student Mental Health Checks into Teaching Practices [Dr. Lisa Paciulli, Dr. Sarah Egan Warren, Dr. Stefanie Chen]
Teaching in the virtual environment can lead to a sense of disconnection between instructors and students, who often have their screens turned off. In addition, isolation during the pandemic has been shown to have negative mental health effects. Also, before the pandemic, student mental health issues have been increasing over time and likely will continue to grow post-pandemic. In addition, students appreciate when faculty ask how they are doing and show concern for student well being. One way to help students express their feelings and to take the "pulse" of your class is to use mental-health check-ins during each / most class sessions. Examples of various types of check-ins, implementation, and student perceptions will be provided. Participants will learn strategies for using mental health check-ins for online, seated, and virtual courses post pandemic. There will be a lot of audience participation as we demonstrate and use the various mental health check-ins.
Track 2: Google Colaboratory: An Accessible Tool for Introducing Programming and Data Science Concepts and Supporting Reproducible Research Methods [Scott Bailey, Claire Cahoon, Walt Gurley]
Google Colaboratory, or “Colab” for short, is a computational notebook environment that allows users to run Python code in the browser without having to download or install anything. In this session we will demonstrate how to access and use the Colab interface, how to manage and share notebooks and access data from multiple sources (including connecting to Google Drive), and discuss how Colab can be used as a platform for introducing programming and data science concepts and supporting reproducible research. Following this session, participants will be able to create and share Colab notebooks and understand how Colab can support instructional and research initiatives.

Track 1: Using Panopto to Facilitate Active Learning [Dr. Carlos Goller, Dr. Claire Gordy]
Panopto has arrived on campus! We have a robust system to capture video and share different streams of content with students. Importantly, Panopto provides features to engage learners with interactive quizzes, individual note taking, and group discussions. How can you use Panopto to facilitate dynamic conversations and provide accessible options to reach learners?
In this session, we will demo and discuss some features of Panopto and how we have used them in asynchronous courses. Join us to discuss how we can move beyond static videos and use Panopto to establish active asynchronous conversations and deep learning.
Track 2: Make Your Instructional Design Agile [Dr. Sarah Khan]
Switching between in class and online instruction can be very taxing. In this session, the participants will learn the key elements of a course design, which can be made adaptable for online and face to face instruction with significantly less effort.

Track 1: Know When to Hold 'Em, Know When to Fold 'Em: Advancing Online Instructional Strategies through Asynchronous Technology Tools [Dr. Carrol Warren, Dr. Michelle Bartlett]
As enrollment in online courses continues to increase across higher education, public universities are serving the greatest number of online students (Allen and Seaman, 2017) This session will engage participants in ways to incorporate asynchronous tools into their online or hybrid course design. The session will focus on strategies faculty can use when designing online courses to have the greatest impact on student success and completion.
Track 2: NC State Faculty Committment to Quality Online/Hybrid Learning [Bethanne Tobey, Dr. Kevin Oliver, Dr. Shweta Trivedi]
Are you curious about the Course Quality Program at NC State? Join us and the two 2021-2022 faculty leads to learn more about the CQ Pathways. The pathways are professional development opportunities tailored to meet you wherever they are in their course design journey and help get you to where you want to be!
