The Minnesota Urban Debate League, a program of Augsburg University, makes debate teams possible in Twin Cities schools for 1,400+ students! For the first time, MNUDL is now an Augsburg Experience program.

You can support our youth and gain valuable skills as part of the AUGEX5B Special Immersion: MN Urban Debate League course.

Benefits of participating:
• This counts toward your Augsburg Experience requirement, but it’s a 0-credit course, so you do NOT have to pay for participation.
• No specific major requirement!
• By participating, you can become qualified to judge multiple types of debate, which can lead to future paying gigs with the MNUDL!

The spring semester course will take place from 12:30-1:30 PM on Fridays. The location will be the Anderson Hall basement (near the Campus Cupboard and MNUDL office.)

You’ll complete 40 hours supporting the MNUDL (20 must be completed off-campus.)

Register ASAP for: AUGEX5B.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve Augsburg’s Moodle site.

Over the past month we added new features that worked well in our test environment, but one feature acted differently when a lot of people were using Moodle at the same time. It caused performance issues with our level of user activity. So, we’re working with the feature’s vendor to get to the root cause.

On the IT page is a status page that will note when services are down.

Over the past month we added new features that worked well in our test environment, but one feature acted differently when a lot of people were using Moodle at the same time. It caused performance issues with our level of user activity. So, we’re working with the feature’s vendor to get to the root cause.

Please join the Assessment Committee and Center for Teaching and Learning from 2:30 – 3:30pm on Wednesday, October 16th, in Sverdrup 208 for an opportunity to discuss the results of a recent pair of high-quality institutional surveys of students and faculty.

In the spring of 2024, First Year and Senior students completed the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). This survey measures students’ perception of Academic Challenge, Student-Faculty Interactions, Quality of Interactions, and experience with High Impact Practices. Meanwhile, faculty provided their perception of students’ course experiences on the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE). The combined NSSE-FSSE results offer a unique opportunity to directly compare student and faculty perspectives on a wide range of academic issues. Whether you teach in upper or lower-division courses – and regardless of your academic discipline – these data offer something for everyone.

Many faculty have reached out to the library for instruction sessions this semester, and, being short-staffed, we were sadly not able to accommodate requests like we have in the past.

While we are busy looking for new instruction and outreach librarians, we put together a few short videos that faculty can embed or show in class as needed. Video topics include:

– The library website (1 min, 45 sec)
– Physical library spaces (2 min, 11 sec)
– Finding books (1 min, 28 sec)
– Finding articles (2 min, 36 sec)
– 5 Essential Search Tips (4 min, 1 sec), and
– The recording of a live webinar offered last week (which ran about 40 mins)

You can find all these videos, their links, and their embed codes in the library’s guide for faculty here:

Dear Augsburg Community,

Implementation planning for our new undergraduate general education curriculum, planned to be offered starting in fall 2025, is underway. In an initial implementation step, the Academic Affairs Committee (AAC) voted in support of the General Education Course Migration Proposal, a proposed plan for how all 475 current general education courses would be reorganized into the new general education curriculum. Next steps in general education implementation include updating the degree audit and general education resources, and developing new course offerings.

Please refer to the General Education Revision 2023 Moodle Site or Google Drive for additional information and resources about this initiative.

This session will introduce a new tool Augsburg is piloting for the ’24/’25 school year. It leverages Moodle’s text editor (TinyMCE) to provide insights into student effort and revisions for writing in your Moodle classroom. While not an AI classifier, it does provide new essential data for understanding the student’s writing process and verifying the source of their submission, no matter your course policy towards generative AI.

In the spring of 2024, First Year and Senior students completed the National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE). This survey measures students’ perception of Academic Challenge, Student-Faculty Interactions, Quality of Interactions, and experience with High Impact Practices. Meanwhile, faculty provided their perception of students’ course experiences on the Faculty Survey of Student Engagement (FSSE). The combined NSSE-FSSE results offer a unique opportunity to directly compare student and faculty perspectives on a wide range of academic issues. Whether you teach in upper or lower-division courses – and regardless of your academic discipline – these data offer something for everyone.

Please RSVP to the event here.

Join CTL Director Rachel Lloyd for this participatory demonstration lesson and introduction to the Paideia (pie DAY a) approach to designing and facilitating text-based discussions. In today’s challenging political climate, the skills of civil, civic-minded, and evidence-based democratic deliberation are a necessity. Paideia is a pedagogy that encourages student-centered, democratic discussions around a common text. It can be used with all ages and in all subject areas to foster a more inclusive learning environment.

Participants are asked to read the linked short story “Too Many Rules” (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u08evSPnYcx3ioq_USedg2kBIUj2z4VVMeZqlYt3jnE/edit) by Anishinabeg-Ojibwe author, Anne Dunn, prior to the workshop, and come ready to discuss the text using this focusing short reading guide (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1lWnTCztWEjwg0fK11am71Yxn5022hj9-/edit).

The application is available at the URGO website (www.augsburg.edu/urgo) at the “conference travel” page. Grants are awarded on a rolling basis, so students are encouraged to work with their research mentor to submit a travel application as soon as possible.
