Systems Thinking Certificate (6 courses) Cornell Institute for Public Affairs (CIPA) at eCornell 

• The key objectives or takeaways of this training:
  Upon completion of these courses, students should be able to apply the Four Simple Rules of Systems Thinking - Distinctions, Systems, Relationships, and Perspectives (DSRP) to improve both their personal life and at work.

• Timeline and development process (apps, content outlines, assessment planning, or user experience/user interface, etc.):
  The timeline for each 2-week course is about 3 weeks. A course was assigned a month in advance and the master course was migrated by an ID a week before the course started. I spent approximately 2 hours to set up the course - posting a self introduction video and student lounge ice breaker; setting up announcements, syllabus, zoom life discussion sessions, due dates for project, discussion, and quizzes; adding tips for activities and each part of the project. During the course period, I interacted with students and answered their questions. After the course ended, I spent 3 days to complete grading.

• Creative side, adult learning best practices that engage and inspire:
  The certificate introduced an app called Plectica. Students constantly having trouble to use it because the videos SMEs created were outdated. For immediately needs, I created a tutorial video and post on all course that using this app. And sent the team a ticket for the future update. Students in my courses no longer having issues using the app. My take is, any course that including an app should be reviewed each quarter and the tutorial videos should be updated accordingly.

• The key objectives or takeaways of this training:
  Upon completion of this course, faculty members should be able to apply systems thinking in their course teaching.

• Timeline and development process (apps, content outlines, assessment planning, or user experience/user interface, etc.):
  This is a 3-year project. A system thinking trainer was invited to a train the trainer workshop to train the faculty members from three Universities. The faculty then created training contents for their Vet students and teach them in the following year. The cohort assessments were placed in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th years. The final results were presented at 2013 Arkansas Association for Food Protection (AAFP) Annual Educational Conference.

• Creative side, adult learning best practices that engage and inspire:
  Preparing the abstract training materials takes time! SEM’s need to be trained in order to assess student’s effective of understanding. I created a website that collected useful tools. This list helped SEMs making decisions how to line up their course alignment and assessment. See 150 apps http://www.pearltrees.com/csuo/learning-interoperability/id21884126 

WR 514 GIS AND DATA ANALYSIS IN WATER RESOURCES at CSU https://youtu.be/bOSGF3SNw7k

• The key objectives or takeaways of this training:
  Upon completion of this course, students should be able to analyze GIS data.

• Timeline and development process (apps, content outlines, assessment planning, or user experience/user interface, etc.):
  The course took one semester to complete. This course was assigned to me in Fall 2018. After the 1st on campus face to face meeting with the SMEs who resided in Fort Collins, we set up times for face to face meeting, filming, as well as lined up the course design and alignment. I uploaded all the course content after filming, editing, uploading the videos on Canvas. However, this course was not published due to not enough students register the course in Spring 2019. 

• Creative side, adult learning best practices that engage and inspire:
  The SEM made a short navigation video after course development. This video provide a big picture of what students will get from this course. I created a tutorial video to show SMEs how to film a presentation lecture with their face on the same screen using Mac. It helped a lot for Mac users to work on the video development wherever they are. How to film on Mac https://youtu.be/xL2wcOfnQoU
