STUDENT EXPERIENCES OF LEARNING (SEL) SURVEY – EDUCATION, EXPERIENCES, AND ENHANCEMENTS

We welcome you to join the conversation about the Student Experiences of Learning (SEL) Survey! 

This is an interactive workshop, where you will be able to have meaningful discussions with your collages.  This time is designed for you to be able to choose how you would best be served by discussions about SEL surveys. You will be able to self-select your focus for this discussion time in one of the following three groups: . 

Education: If you are new to the SEL survey, you will learn about how this relatively new course feedback survey is administered and how you can utilize the results. 

Experiences: If you have some familiarity with the SEL survey, you can discuss your current experiences with your peers also interpreting SEL survey results for their courses. 

Enhancements: If you are looking for ways to leverage your SEL survey results for continuing to develop and document your teaching, you will be able to discuss with your peers how to enhance the power of SEL surveys in your courses and in your teaching portfolios.

Academic Project Design - Collaborative Support from E3 & the Writing Program Presents: Pedagogical Support for Large-Scale Student Project Design and Writing

Educational Excellence and Effectiveness (E3) and Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) will co-host this 4-part semester long series, where we will discuss empirically supported methods for instructors to help students successfully design, complete, and write-up large projects for honors, capstones or Master’s or Doctoral theses.    

Many UNH instructors and faculty help students to complete projects and theses at the undergraduate and graduate level in disciplines across the university. However, there is not currently any programming to help instructors and faculty learn about and discuss pedagogical approaches to support student project design, implementation, and writing for these large projects, which are often beyond the scope of a single semester’s coursework.

This new program will feature a multi-part series where pedagogical experts from E3 and writing support experts from WAC collaborate to help instructors and faculty develop appropriate teaching procedures to support students in these challenging large-scale project tasks. We will discuss teaching methods for supporting students completing these projects in all disciplines. The first two sessions are for projects in any discipline. The final two sessions will be discipline specific: you can attend just one or both of the following: STEM projects & Humanities Projects.  

Session 1: Part 1 of the series for all disciplines: backwards design for projects, timeline management, and how E3 and UWP can provide assistance 

  • September 25  - 10:00 -11:00

Session 2: Part 2 of the series for all disciplines: backwards design for projects, timeline management, and how E3 and UWP can provide assistance 

  • October 16  - 10:00 -11:00

Session 3: STEM & Clinical projects – approaches for undergraduate & graduate projects 

  • November 13 - 10:00 - 11:00 am

Session 4: Humanities projects – approaches for undergraduate & graduate projects 

  • December 4  - 10:00 - 11:00 am

Location:  In-person and virtual (to be determined by participants)

Networking Opportunities Through E3:

UNH Colleague Networking Events This Fall

We are promoting networking with UNH colleagues by facilitating connections with peers interested in collaborations that are primarily: teaching based, research focused, or grounded in community.

Express interest using this very short form if you would like to participate in networking events where you can meet other UNH faculty and staff interested in discussing teaching, research, building community on campus or propose another topic.  After you complete the survey, we will reach out with additional details about the networking event to connect you with colleagues.  We will begin scheduling these based on interest.   

Do you need a working group on a common goal or challenge related to educational excellence or effectiveness?

 

Propose a challenge or issue for a collaborative group. In response to your proposal, we can help you set up a working group and structure for the group to clarify the purpose, roles of the group members, identify evidence to inform decisions, and plan to collaboratively collect interpret, and propose policy/process changes. 

 

 

 

Additionally, ET&S provides ongoing technology training and office hours for faculty including throughout the summer months. Some upcoming offerings include training on Canvas New Quizzes, Teams Meetings, and EAB Navigate. For a complete list of sessions, go to https://at-training.unh.edu/apps/ssr . As the Fall semester approaches, more training opportunities will be posted. You can request a session here: https://at-training.unh.edu/apps/ssr?action=requestSession
