Aligning Your Hybrid & Online Course, Syllabus & Resources
Workshop offered in-person or via webinar
Although many of the things you do in face-to-face classes can be done in online courses, you will find the planning process different. Rather than recreating what you are doing face-to-face, you will want to re-think and re-design your course for the online environment, incorporating tools and resources that are available online. It all starts with course design, specifically, and aligned course design. By the end of the workshop, you will know how to bring your syllabus into alignment.
The Want to Save Time? Align Now Workshop is sponsored by the Office of Academic Innovation at Towson University.
Date: October 24, 2018
Time: 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Location: Cook Library 404B
The workshop is offered in person at the Towson campus and online via web conferencing software.
Please contact Ms. Tammy Cross (tcross at towson.edu) for:
- In person attendees -> Parking information
- Webinar attendees -> Access link
- General questions about the event
As the Request for Proposals states, the Open Textbooks Pilot program “supports projects at institutions of higher education (IHEs) that create new open textbooks or expand their use of open textbooks while maintaining or improving instruction and student learning outcomes.” The RFP outlines three absolute priorities:- Improving collaboration and dissemination through consortia arrangements;
- Addressing gaps in the open textbook marketplace and bringing solutions to scale; and
- Promoting degree completion by creating OERs across multiple courses in a program sequence.
A competitive preference priority involves using technology-based strategies for personalized learning and continuous improvement, which the Kirwan Center plans to address as well.
The Kirwan Center's initial aim through this proposal will be to identify and organize partners—two-year and four-year institutions of higher education as well as relevant industry and non-profit partners—to contribute to the curation, creation, and vetting of openly licensed, fully accessible instructional materials for healthcare programs (such as pharmacy, nursing, and the like)
where little OER exists currently and, by so doing, also stand up a more systematic and sustainable development process for other high-demand, low-OER fields.
Watch a recording of the High-impact OER Mini-Grant informational webinar to learn more about the program.
The Kirwan Center is excited to pursue this opportunity. If there are individuals or groups that might be interested in the proposed project, or if you have any concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Dr. MJ Bishop, Director of the Kirwan Center, at mjbishop@usmd.edu.
NOTE: Per the federal registry for this grant, the deadline for proposals is August 29, 2019.
The
William E. Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation is pleased to announce the
High-impact OER Mini-Grant Program, a new funding program designed to strategically support Maryland public institutions’ efforts to adopt and scale Open Educational Resource (OER) adoption.
Building upon the prior success of the MOST initiative, this new program will support individual faculty adoption of OER and OER scaling initiatives within institutions in “high-impact,” high enrollment courses for which high-quality OER already exists.
Two types of mini-grants will be awarded:
- Adopt/Adapt OER ($500 - $1,500)
- Scaling OER ($1,500 - $2,500)
In addition to grant funding for their OER adoption or scaling project, selected grantees will also receive training and technical support in Spring 2017 to assist in the implementation of their OER plans.
- Adopt/Adapt OER Mini-Grants ($500 - $1,500)
- Faculty commitment to teach at least one section of a “high-impact” course using OER during the Fall 2017 semester. Adoption in more than one section is encouraged.
- Targeting OER adoption in an eligible high enrollment course with existing high-quality OER content.
- Reducing students’ course materials costs to $40 or less
- Scaling OER Mini-Grants ($1,500 - $2,500)
- Scaling of OER to at least four sections of a “high impact” course during the Fall 2017 semester to reduce students’ cost of course materials to $40 or less.
- Targeting OER adoption in an eligible high enrollment course with existing high-quality OER content.
- Institutional and/or departmental support and collaboration with multiple instructors, instructional designers, librarians, and support staff preferred.
Informational webinars will be conducted February 13 - 22, 2017, to provide more details about the program and the application process.
To apply for a mini-grant, applicants must complete a High-impact OER Mini-Grant Program Application and submit it to cai@usmd.edu by 5 PM on Wednesday, March 8, 2017. The Mini-Grant Planning Document and the application, which provides additional information and details about the program, is attached to this announcement. Faculty may indicate their intent to apply or register for an informational webinar on the Center's website.
Questions about the High-impact OER Mini-Grant Program may be directed to Dr. M.J. Bishop, Director of the Center for Academic Innovation, via
cai@usmd.edu.
Registration is now open for the
New Designs for Learning: Games and Gamification Symposium!
Join instructional designers, faculty, and academic leaders from across the University System of Maryland in exploring how games and gamification can reinvigorate courses, boost student engagement, and enhance student learning.
The symposium will take place on
Thursday, September 29th from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm at the
College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center. The keynote speaker will be
Dr. Karl Kapp,
an Instructional Technology Graduate Professor at Bloomsburg University and author of numerous books including The Gamification of Learning and Instruction: Game-based Methods and Strategies for Training and Education (2012). View the full program at the Kirwan Center event page.
If you have any questions or need assistance with registering, please contact Latisha Neil at
latisha.neil@umuc.edu.
Do you have a story you’d like to share about gamifying a course? Would you like to immerse others in some aspect of game playing? Have you tried gamifying a course and want to share what didn’t work and what would work better? Is there research on gamification – or learning – or design – that you’d like others to consider?
Participants include instructional designers, faculty, and academic leaders from across the University System of Maryland who are interested in exploring how games and gamification can reinvigorate courses, boost student engagement, and enhance student learning.
Three types of sessions are being offered:
- Hands-on workshops (75 minutes)
- Course showcase (60 minutes)
- 360 Talk (6-minutes, 4-5 talks per 45-minute session)
To learn more about each of these sessions, please download and review the document attached to this announcement.
Deadlines and Notifications
Proposals must be submitted by August 22, 2016. Applicants will be notified about acceptances approximately one week after the submission deadline.

Save the Date: 9/29 USM Gamification Symposium
Explore how games boost engagement & enhance learning
Join instructional designers, faculty, and academic leaders from across the University System of Maryland in exploring how games and gamification can reinvigorate courses, boost student engagement, and enhance student learning.
The University of Maryland University College (UMUC) and the Kirwan Center for Academic Innovation at the University System of Maryland are pleased to cosponsor a working symposium entitled “New Designs for Learning: Games and Gamification,” on Thursday, September 29, 2016 at the College Park Marriott Hotel & Conference Center.
The Symposium promises to be a forum where participants can explore what is meant by gamification and game design thinking, discover the research behind the movement to gamify learning, and test out ways to gamify their own content and approaches to course design. The keynote address and a featured workshop will be offered by
Dr. Karl Kapp, an Instructional Technology Graduate Professor at Bloomsburg University. Dr. Kapp is a national speaker, consultant, and author of numerous books, including
The Gamification of Learning and Instruction: Game-based Methods and Strategies for Training and Education (2012).
Registration will open in late August:
