SUMMARY:OLCL Engaging Online & Hybrid Learners: Using Custom GPTs to Facilitate Interactive Learning Experiences (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:As online learning grows\, educators face the ongoing challenge of fostering interactive\, student-centered experiences\, particularly for asynchronous learners. This challenge becomes especially significant for what the presenter terms “Accidental Asynchronous Learners”—students who prefer synchronous learning but find themselves forced into asynchronous participation due to scheduling or situational constraints. These students often struggle with high transactional distance\, a concept defined by Michael Moore (1997)\, which refers to the psychological and communication gaps that can arise in distance education. In asynchronous learning\, where there is often less interpersonal dialogue and higher course structure\, students with low learner autonomy (i.e.\, those less adept at self-directed learning) can feel isolated and unsupported. \n\n\n\nIn the face of these challenges\, Generative AI (GenAI) tools\, particularly those based on GPT models\, present a potential solution. These tools offer opportunities for simulating interactive learning experiences\, providing Accidental Asynchronous Learners with much-needed dialogue and flexible learning activities. This webinar will explore the use of custom-built GPTs to support students who cannot engage in real-time interactions\, showcasing how these tools can foster deeper learning and greater engagement in asynchronous online environments. This session is designed to be dynamic\, engaging\, and exploratory. By positioning GenAI as a thinking partner rather than a thinking replacement\, we can help students develop the skills they need to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven world \n\n\n\nIntended Audience:  \n\n\n\nFaculty\, instructional designers\, technologists\, design thinkers \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways: \n\n\n\n\nUnderstand the potential of GPTs to reduce transactional distance and increase engagement for asynchronous learners.\n\n\n\nGain hands-on experience with several custom GPTs designed to simulate interactions with instructors\, peers\, and content.\n\n\n\nExplore practical strategies for integrating GenAI tools into their own teaching practices\, with a focus on student-centered learning.\n\n\n\nReflect on the role of AI in future learning environments and consider how these tools can be used to foster critical thinking and autonomy among students.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event

SUMMARY:OLC: Stress-Free Course Policies: Supporting Student Learning & Easing Anxiety Without the Extra Work (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Today’s undergraduate students experience high levels of anxiety\, which can hinder their learning. Course policies grounded in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles can help alleviate student anxiety by supporting both cognitive and emotional aspects of learning\, thus promoting learner agency. This webinar will present findings from several semesters of student surveys that indicate common stressors and reveal ways UDL-based course policies can decrease anxiety.  \n\n\n\nThe webinar will focus on two course policies that reduce stress for students while maintaining manageable workloads for instructors. The first policy addresses flexible late work submissions\, including examples\, implementation techniques\, and student feedback on specific policies. The presenter will also share data she’s collected where students report just having these policies available to them reduces their anxiety and the number of students who actually utilize late-work policies are far fewer than one might expect. The second policy covers the acceptance of multiple assignment formats (e.g.\, audio\, video\, written)\, offering practical strategies for grading efficiency. The session will conclude with reflections on survey feedback and actionable takeaways for creating low-stress\, anxiety-reducing classroom environments. \n\n\n\nIntended Audience:  \n\n\n\nFaculty\, instructional designers\, and student support personnel \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify key factors of how student anxiety can impact learning in undergraduate classrooms.\n\n\n\nApply Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles to course policy development. \n\n\n\nEvaluate the advantages and disadvantages of different approaches to late work submissions\, with consideration for grading efficiency and instructor workload. \n\n\n\nEvaluate strategies for accepting multiple formats (audio\, video\, written\, etc.) for the same assignment\, with consideration for grading efficiency and instructor workload.\n\n\n\nDevelop course policies and strategies for creating anxiety-reducing classroom environments while increasing learner agency and maintaining similar instructor workload.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event

SUMMARY:OLC: Call Us Irresponsible: Designing Online Curricula for the AI Era (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar\, we propose a bold new model for course design that integrates Large Language Models (LLMs) directly into the curriculum. Breaking away from traditional limitations on AI use\, we explore how strategically embedding AI tools within online course content enables students to experiment\, problem solve\, and improve their digital competencies.  \n\n\n\nThe webinar will begin with a brief demonstration of how students can easily use LLMs to complete traditional online assignments like discussion posts\, essay questions\, and quizzes. Next\, attendees will be introduced to a course design model grounded in a rearranged Bloom’s Taxonomy (Hardman\, 2024). Then\, attendees will engage in a design sprint aimed at developing content and assessments that directly incorporate LLMs into the student experience. The focus will be on real-world applications of LLMs in online course design\, with participants leaving the session equipped with strategies and examples they can use immediately in their own contexts. Join us in a foray into irresponsible student use of AI! \n\n\n\nIntended Audience \n\n\n\nThis session is aimed at educators and designers at all levels of tool proficiency\, with scaffolded models and examples. \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways \n\n\n\n\nIdentify and implement strategies for integrating generative AI tools into online course designs.\n\n\n\nCollaboratively develop an assignment or project that encourages students to explore the capabilities of AI for enhanced learning.\n\n\n\nExamine how AI can shift course design away from preventing its use and toward a more open\, experimental approach that encourages creativity and critical thinking.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event

SUMMARY:OLC: Learning Together\, Leading Together: A Look at the Ivy Tech & Purdue Global Collaboration (Vendor Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:This session unpacks the urgent need for collaboration in higher education\, examining the significant hurdles students face today\, from navigating complex transfer pathways and the demand for diverse skill sets to rising affordability concerns. No single institution can tackle these multifaceted challenges alone; therefore\, collaboration isn’t just beneficial\, it’s a strategic imperative for both student success and institutional vitality. \n\n\n\nWe’ll highlight the powerful partnership between Ivy Tech\, Indiana’s community college system\, and Purdue Global. This collaboration thrives due to shared student demographics\, particularly their strong support for adult learners across Indiana. We’ll delve into the specific reasons this alliance was forged\, demonstrating how each institution leverages the other’s strengths. This reciprocal learning has not only advanced both institutions but also positioned them as leaders in innovation and adult learner support statewide. \n\n\n\nntended Audience \n\n\n\nThis webinar is primarily intended for higher education professionals\, administrators\, and faculty\, particularly those involved in student success\, institutional leadership\, and program design. Participants will benefit from learning insights into effective collaborations\, understanding best practices for adult learners in online education\, identifying solutions for common student challenges\, leveraging institutional strengths\, and fostering innovation and leadership. \n\n\n\nKey Takeaways \n\n\n\nAt the end of the session\, participants will be able to: \n\n\n\n\nIdentify critical student challenges (e.g.\, transfer complexity\, skill gaps\, affordability) that necessitate inter-institutional collaboration in higher education.\n\n\n\nArticulate how leveraging complementary institutional strengths\, particularly in serving shared student populations like adult learners\, forms the foundation of successful higher education partnerships.\n\n\n\n\nRegister for this Event
