Imaginative, Strategic, Sustainable: A Call for an Online Learning Future Designed for Students' Lived Experiences
Date: Monday, March 28th
Time: 12:30 PM to 1:45 PM
Session Modality: Virtual
Lead Presenter: Jenae Cohn (California State University-Sacramento)
Track: N/A
Location: Zoom Room 6
Session Duration: 1hr 15min
Brief Abstract:

The impact of widespread remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has exposed a lasting need for educators to assess the use of online learning technologies in their teaching and design practice critically. Yet starting conversations about critical and strategic technology usage in online learning can be a challenge to untangle from the now-inseparable pairing of remote learning experiences during the pandemic with trauma. As we move forward, we can recognize the trauma experienced during the pandemic, while also naming sustainable approaches that will continue to be care-oriented. Building this vision for online learning will require: 1. breaking down the long-existing false binary between "online" and "in-person" learning experiences, 2. designing activities that are increasingly attentive to students' embodied experiences of being online, and 3. empowering students to engage in reflective feedback about their experiences continuously. To engage with these three components of a sustainable and imaginative future for online learning, we will look to our past before engaging with our future. Participants will be invited to name and share how they imagine a future for online learning that is aligned with students' full lived experiences of pursuing an education. In the process, we'll consider instructional approaches that designers, instructors, and technologists can take to build courses that are clear, navigable, resilient, and accessible.
 

Prior to the start of the keynote, we will recognize our 2022 OLC Innovate Award winners.  Please also join us Tuesday, March 29 from 10:15am-11:15am US Central Daylight Time Zone (CDT) for our OLC & MERLOT Awards Gala & Social, where we will celebrate our award winners' achievements and have the opportunity to ask them questions.

Brief Abstract:

Start your day with some quiet time to decompress, reconnect mind and body, and practice some self-care as we turn our focus inward for a short while.  Mindfulness has been defined as a practice of "bringing one's attention to the internal and external experiences occuring in the present moment" (Baer, 2003).  Clark Shah-Nelson will lead this guided mindful meditation session geared toward centering ourselves on higher levels of consciousness so that we can experience OLC Innovate Virtual Conference in a healthy and present way together.  Whether you are new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, all levels are welcome to join us for this session.

The complexity imposed on by the pandemic has led, at some institutions, to loss of faculty and/ or staff, with some leaving the industry altogether. This adds to the challenges of maintaining a quality experience for students. In this workshop participants share their experiences and lessons learned, as well as explore the application of concepts from the fields of counseling and leadership to support staff success and satisfaction.

Three-pronged VoiceThread Discussion Strategy: Providing Rigor, Differentiation, and Sense of Community During the Pandemic
Date: Thursday, March 31st

Session Modality: Virtual
Lead Presenter: Fatemeh Mardi (University of Missouri-Saint Louis)
Track: Research: Designs, Methods, and Findings

Brief Abstract:

In an online graduate course, VoiceThread was utilized to reflect on course readings. The strategy used is made up of digital powerups (Thurston, 2019), a guided self-connection section, and expressing what they learned from their peers.
A qualitative content analysis of student reflections using this strategy supports these claims: 1) The digital powerup strategy provided an opportunity for rigor and differentiation. 2) The guided approach of the ‘connect to self’ section balanced and complemented the open-ended nature of the digital powerup section. 3) Structured peer takeaways led to a sense of community. 4) The graduate students preferred the three-pronged discussion strategy to other models they have used before.

Research findings uncovered significant differences between campus-based and online student populations for civic engagement which led to the discovery of both theoretical implications and practical strategies for university leadership, administration, and faculty.

Race to the Future? Reimagining the Default Settings of Technology and Society
Date: Tuesday, April 12th
Time: 4:45 PM to 5:45 PM
Session Modality: Onsite with Streaming
Lead Presenter: Ruha Benjamin (Princeton University)
Track: N/A
Location: Texas Ballroom C-D
Session Duration: 60min
Brief Abstract:

From everyday apps to digital learning environments, technology has the potential to hide, speed, and deepen discrimination, while appearing neutral and even benevolent when compared to racist practices of a previous era. In this talk, Ruha Benjamin presents the concept of the “New Jim Code” to explore a range of discriminatory designs that encode inequity: by explicitly amplifying racial hierarchies, by ignoring but thereby replicating social divisions, or by aiming to fix racial bias but ultimately doing quite the opposite. This presentation takes us into the world of biased bots, altruistic algorithms, and their many entanglements, and provides conceptual tools to decode tech promises with historical and sociological insight. She will also consider how race itself is a tool designed to stratify and sanctify social injustice and discuss how technology is and can be used toward liberatory ends. In doing so, Ruha challenges us to question not only the technologies we are sold, but also the ones we manufacture ourselves.
