Top Hat Engage Austin [2022]

Making the Connection: How to Create More Meaning and Joy in Your Teaching

One positive outcome of the pandemic is the broadened awareness of the student experience in higher education. This includes a renewed focus on the key factors that positively impact learning, including a student’s sense of belonging, their personal connections to the course content and materials, and their relationship with other students and the instructor. In this interactive workshop, Professor Katie Dawson will explore active teaching strategies every educator can use to create more joy and meaning-making in the classroom. Come ready to create, to critically engage, and to connect with your work and with each other.

Experiential Learning and the Power of Reflection

We like to say that students are responsible for their own learning. Yet one of the most important ingredients in creating memorable learning experiences—and one that is most often missed—is allowing time for reflection. Setting the table for academic and personal growth means making time to guide students through a process of reflection and, above all, leveraging the insights they generate for themselves.

Democratic Course Management

Choice and control are fundamental to human wellbeing, but are often absent for students in a traditional academic environment. So what happens when we allow them to choose how they are assessed, control the assignments they take on, and decide how their individual grades are determined? This is the central question Professor John Redden explores in his work on democratic course management—and his findings are surprising! In this session, Professor Redden will cover the methods he uses to give students greater agency over their learning experience in large and small classes. He’ll also discuss how allowing students to play to their strengths has improved engagement, classroom community, and the overall experience, while dramatically reducing DFW rates for his most at-risk learners.

Nested Assignments: Equipping, Engaging, and Empowering Distracted Learnerst

Multiple commitments. Unclear expectations. When it comes to assignments, many students feel overwhelmed and unsure how to even begin—especially those in their first year. 'Nested' assignments may just hold the answer to reducing anxiety so students can focus on the task at hand. In this session, Dr. Jeffrey Klausman will discuss how nested assignments empower students to write their own learning narrative by providing the knowledge and structure to help them set their own goals, monitor progress and assess their effectiveness. Learn how nested assignments work and leave with a roadmap for how to create your own.

Scaffolding and Surprising with Top Hat

We crave the familiar. But a little surprise can go a long way in priming students to tackle even the most challenging concepts. According to Professor Beverly Kris Jaeger-Helton, the key to student engagement involves striking the right balance along the ‘expectation’ continuum. In this session, Professor Jaeger-Helton will share how she combines familiarity that is not rote with surprise that does not confuse to capture and sustain student interest. Drawing on engineering and cognitive science, you’ll learn strategies to surprise and delight, and how she uses Top Hat to ensure her students come to class ready for anything.

I Assigned Students 1,000 Homework Problems and Lived to Tell the Tale

Students have too much technology to make the traditional class structure a viable option for learning. They outsource their homework to Google, and class attendance is minimal when students can access course materials from the comfort of home. Yet improving student retention and performance requires consistent engagement and opportunities to practice applying knowledge. In this presentation, Professor Stephanie Dillon will share how she has combined a flipped classroom model and Top Hat + Aktiv Chemistry to improve student retention and test scores by double digits. Learn how she did this without sacrificing any rigor—and why her students love it.

From the Minors to the Big Leagues: Preparing Students for Long-Term Success

Without practice and feedback, students struggle to learn new skills and material, making it harder to hit a home run when assignments inevitably increase in difficulty. To improve outcomes, award-winning professor and baseball enthusiast Daniel Collins focuses on creating early wins in foundational content (‘the Minors’) and using methodical course design to pave the way for success on formal assessments (‘the Big Leagues’). Collins will share his four level approach and the role Aktiv Chemistry plays in allowing students to master core concepts while delivering the feedback they need to knock it out of the park when the stakes are high.
