Paid Simulated Patient Opportunity

submitted by lohmannm@augsburg.edu

The Augsburg PA Program is looking for Simulated Patients (SIMs) to participate in a few sessions for our students to get practice in a clinical scenario. Participants will get a scenario based on the Unit that covers a diagnosis or list of symptoms that they will need to report to the students in a simulated visit. Acting experience is not required and the scenarios never include invasive exams/procedures or administration of medication.

Each Simulated Patient (Sim) will be interacting with 3-4 groups of 3-4 students at a time with some break time in between each. Each opportunity will be paid at 25/hr and is usually 4 hours long. We will be hosting these at our clinical skills lab, just across from campus.

If you have any questions, please email me at lohmannm@augsburg.edu

If you are interested, please fill out the form for your preferred topics and availability.

Jumpstart Guide for the New Moodle Update

submitted by hadjiyanis@augsburg.edu

Welcome Back Everyone!

Over the summer, Augsburg updated our Moodle instance from 3.9 to 4.4. With this update, we were able to greatly improve the look and feel of our learning management system, as well as take advantage of new features associated with the update.

At first, you may notice the location of some features in Moodle 4.4 may have moved around, so in order to help jumpstart the creation of your courses, we have created this useful guide with some of those changes as well as common questions.

We hope you have a wonderful start to Fall Semester 2024!

TODAY – Come to Failure to Launch: FAFSA Edition

submitted by lenze@augsburg.edu

The FAFSA Simplification Act implemented for the 2024-2025 school year was anything but simple. Errors, delays, and changes are still impacting students’ financial aid eligibility today! Because of all of the complications, many students are not completing the FAFSA, which gives them federal and state funding to be able to go to school. This workshop is designed to be a conversation about how we as a whole got to this point in time, what Augsburg has done about it, how it will continue to impact our students going forward, and how our campus partners can help!

With gratitude,

NetVUE Reading Group on Critical Community Engagement and Vocation, Fall 2024

submitted by gilmerje@augsburg.edu

In Fall 2024, Heather Brady of Grand View University (Iowa), will host four virtual conversations on the theme of community engagement and vocation. The purpose is to gather faculty and staff with some expertise and previous experience in this field in order to grow a community of practice. The outcome of these conversations will be to define the parameters and scope of the field, identify key concepts in the field, and gather resources to share out in a second conversation series, to take place in Spring 2025. At that time, a different group will participate in monthly conversations around the curriculum created by the first group in Fall 2024. The goal of the second series will be to inspire others who are less familiar with the topic to reflect on vocational exploration though community engagement. Both series will focus on themes of place and belonging, encounters with otherness, privilege and power, active listening, and visions of justice and equity. It is my hope that the dialogue created by these conversations will create new strategies for enlivening student learning.

There will be one virtual meeting each month, on Friday from 1:00 to 2:30 CST.

Participants will receive a copy of the book Called Beyond our Selves: Vocation and the Common Good, edited by Erin VanLaningham.

Please email Heather Brady at hbrady@grandview.edu to express your interest.

NetVUE Reading Group on Critical Community Engagement and Vocation, Fall 2024

In Fall 2024, Heather Brady of Grand View University (Iowa), will host four virtual conversations on the theme of community engagement and vocation. The purpose is to gather faculty and staff with some expertise and previous experience in this field in order to grow a community of practice. The outcome of these conversations will be to define the parameters and scope of the field, identify key concepts in the field, and gather resources to share out in a second conversation series, to take place in Spring 2025. At that time, a different group will participate in monthly conversations around the curriculum created by the first group in Fall 2024.

Days in May: Assessment Triple Play Wednesday 5/8

submitted by denkinge@augsburg.edu

What if we told you that this year, you’re not just getting ONE assessment presentation, but THREE TIMES the excitement for the same low, low price of zero dollars? Well, hold on to your tams and tassels, fellow faculty members, because this Wednesday, May 8th from 1 – 2:45pm in Oren 200 we’re hosting a series of presentations and discussions revolving around the assessment and program review work that was accomplished by programs, departments, and institutionally:

1. QR Assessment Results (1pm – 1:35pm): This year, the Assessment Committee collected data on Quantitative Reasoning from hundreds of students across a wide range of courses. During this session, we’ll use a new interactive PowerBI dashboard to examine emerging themes in this dataset, including the amount of mathematical and quantitative foundational coursework students experience, math placement scores, self-reflective assessments of their own skills and supporting experiences, and their performance on a short measure of applied problem solving skills.

2. Departmental Assessment Showcase (1:35 – 2:10pm): Departments and programs annually assess student learning and experience within their own curricular offerings. Join us for a cross-disciplinary showcase of some of the most impressive and creative approaches to assessment. As in previous years, this showcase is a great opportunity to draw inspiration from methods and approaches used by others on campus, and to learn more about the skills and backgrounds of our students.

3. Program Review Showcase (2:10 – 2:45): Do you have an upcoming program review? In this “showcase” session we will cover the basics of the program review process and hear from program directors and department chairs who recently completed an external review or are currently preparing for a review.

Days in May: Critical Response Process – Wednesday 5/8

submitted by alekna@augsburg.edu

At Days in May, please join me (and your wonderful colleagues!) for an interactive and engaging day of all things Critical Response Process.

On Wednesday, May 8th from 10:15 am – 2:45 pm (with lunch break) in Oren 201, two sessions will focus on Critical Response Process; you are welcome to attend either or both. The first session will focus on a demonstration of the full process and the second will explore the variations and applications across classroom contexts.

Developed by MacArthur fellow recipient Liz Lerman, Critical Response Process (CRP) is a method for giving and getting feedback that centers students and focuses on growing in-progress work. Further, the principles of CRP can guide our informal interactions and choices, helping teachers and students learn to communicate and engage more fully in learning.

Reach out with questions and see you there! – Mallory Alekna, music, alekna@augsburg.edu

Critical Response Process – Formal Demonstration (10:15 am – 12 pm). During the workshop, attendees will experience a full demonstration of CRP and consider how these ideas apply to their individual classroom.

Critical Response Process – Variations to Foster Engagement & Agency in Your Classroom (1 – 2:45 pm). Attendees will explore the principles embedded in each step of CRP. Further, attendees will experience variations that can be implemented with students. Implementing CRP can help students to deeply engage with their learning, and foster their sense of agency. Attendees will discuss how to apply these ideas to their classrooms.
