    A Call to Conversation: The PLA Boost

    For five decades colleges and universities have used several methods to award college credit for learning outside of the classroom-specifically learning from work, life, and military experiences. These methods are often called prior learning assessment (PLA) or credit for prior learning (CPL) and value the learning that many students bring with them to college. Join us to explore PLA best practices and opportunities, while examining the results from Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL) and Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE)'s recent study The PLA Boost.

    Intro to Tilted Teaching

    This presentation will introduce faculty to Transparency in Learning and Teaching and provide an overview of how to use the “Transparency Framework” (of purpose/task/criteria) in course assignments to help students understand the “why” behind course activities, with the goal of increasing student engagement, motivation, and enhancing student success equitably.

    Humanizing Online Teaching as a Pathway to Equity

    In her current role as Faculty Mentor for the California Community Colleges CVC-OEI/@ONE, Pacansky-Brock coordinates professional development in support of quality online teaching and learning and is leading an intersegmental California Learning Lab grant project that will examine the impact of humanized online instruction on diverse students in undergraduate online STEM courses in California.

    An industry leader in transformative online pedagogy and student-teacher relationship building, Pacansky-Brock will share her experience with humanizing online courses for better, more holistic student engagement and retention. The presentation will also introduce document, syllabus, and course design fundamentals and tools intended to increase student synthesis and recognition.
