submitted by maherk@augsburg.edu

The Moodle toolbar includes options for fully integrated, brief (2 min) video recordings. The first 15 minutes will address how this feature provides exciting new options for student responses. The rest of the hour will focus on how to create engaging, annotated videos that are integrated with the Moodle gradebook.

Tech Tune-ups & Tips every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 am. Come Zoom with the E-learning Team as they offer two 60-minute sessions each week on how to maximize your use of Moodle and learning technologies as you get ready for classes this Fall. Each session will open with 15-minutes of “pertinent tips & best practices” about important Moodle features/resources. The final 45 minutes will provide training on a specific learning experience or tool.

Fellowship Friday Will Return on July 10 at 2 p.m.

submitted by maherk@augsburg.edu

Just a reminder that there is no Fellowship Friday tomorrow, but plan to connect with others on Friday, July 10!

CTL is joining Bridget Robinson-Riegler, Psychology Professor and member of Faculty Senate, to bring you Fellowship Fridays support sessions. All faculty members and teaching staff are invited to gather and share their experiences with teaching, learning, and advising in this strange new world. – we’ll trade ideas, advice, highs, lows, successes, and failures – or maybe we’ll just plain old vent. Most importantly, we will attempt to inoculate ourselves against one of the more insidious side effects of this pandemic – isolation. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, or pour a glass of wine, and Zoom in to support your fellow instructors and work through this challenging time together.

*If Friday afternoons don’t work with your schedule, but you would still like to participate, reach out to Bridget or Jennifer Bankers-Fulbright, and they will contemplate adding other days/times in the future.

Fridays (no session on July 3) | “Fellowship Fridays” | 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm, ZOOM

Attend a Community Meeting on the Proposed Public Safety Charter Amendment

submitted by greena@augsburg.edu

Students who live on campus (and other Auggies in Ward 2 – Parts of Cedar-Riverside, Seward, and Elliot Park):

You may have heard about City Council voting unanimously on a Charter Amendment in response to the killing of George Floyd and uprisings here and worldwide. Councilmember Cam Gordon believes it’s time for engagement around this major change to start and is hosting a number of community gatherings to discuss the Charter amendment, answer any questions people may have, and discuss further how this might move forward this year. All residents are welcome to attend whichever meeting is most convenient – note the one in Murphy Park! Please remember to bring your mask and keep distance from other attendees.

Brackett Park, Saturday, July 4, 11:00 am

Murphy Park, Sunday, July 5, 1:00 pm

Luxton Park, Monday, July 6, 6:30 pm

Matthews Park, Saturday, July 11, 1:00 pm

Van Cleve Park, Sunday, July 12, 2:00 pm

For Auggies who do not live in Ward 2, find your councilmember and ask them when they will be holding community meetings about this issue: http://www2.minneapolismn.gov/council/maps/index.htm

More background information from Councilmember Gordon:
The Council unanimously passed a resolution committing to transform the way we provide for each other’s safety on June 12, stating that “the City Council will commence a year long process of community engagement, research, and structural change to create a transformative new model for cultivating safety in our city.”

On June 26, Council voted on an amendment that would remove the Police Department as a Charter department, and replace it with a new Community Safety and Violence Prevention department, which will “have responsibility for public safety services, prioritizing a holistic, public health-oriented approach.” It will not preclude the City from continuing to employ licensed police officers, but will also not require us to do so.
