Teaching multiple sections of the same course? Don't want to have to post course materials multiple times in multiple AsULearn course sites? Done this before, but heard about our new 'Metagroup Sync' tool and want to use it? Attend this webinar and learn to use the "course meta link" to combine enrollments from multiple sections or courses into ONE AsULearn course site, while still being about to sort your grade book by section, and send announcements to separate sections if needed, and use group overrides to control release times of the same activities based on section (group). Typically, we take a volunteer and completely walk through the setup, and all can follow along and do their own setup as we go. Hopefully, everyone is all set by the end!

This professional development session will be conducted entirely in a Zoom meeting. Thanks!

Vision: This group is intended to be a support network for staff with kids birth to eight years old. It can be challenging to work full-time and parent full-time, so let’s support each other as we chug along on this journey. We hope that this group offers an opportunity for members to share their experiences, recommend resources, celebrate milestones, commiserate about the challenges, and build relationships with other staff who are parents of young children. We hope that this group allows for community building among staff that are in the trenches of dirty diapers, tantruming toddlers, kids learning to read, and never ending laundry. This group is supportive of Queer and non-traditional family types and all parent (or kid) gender identities and expressions.

Intended Audience: Staff members with children between the ages of birth to 8 years.

In today’s hyperconnected world, technology has resulted in a conundrum for students in the classroom: it can be used for learning engagement but is also a source of distraction. In this workshop we’ll talk about why digital distraction contributes to fragmented attention and how we might be able to cultivate attention. Faculty will examine real-world scenarios, share experiences, and consider possible policies and activities to decrease digital distractions and cultivate attention. Participants will leave with practical tools to design distraction-aware learning environments that support academic success.

This workshop is designed to empower professionals with the tools, strategies, and frameworks needed to master time management, enhance productivity, and build sustainable organizational systems. Participants will learn to optimize their workflow, minimize inefficiencies, and create personalized systems for long-term success.

We’ll break down what transparency really means in the classroom and share simple, practical ways to apply it to your course design and assignments.
