OLC Live! Engagement at Innovate 2023!

Streamed Session

Brief Abstract

Learn more about what the OLC Engagement Committee is doing behind the scenes for your Innovate 2023 experience. You'll get a sneak peek at some of the highlights so you can be prepared to be entertained and engaged both virtually and onsite. We'll also use this time to talk about engagement, generally, and why it is important to consider in and across our teaching and learning spaces.

Presenters

With over 15 years in higher education and online course development, I provide instructional design support to faculty in the development and improvement of online/hybrid/F2F courses to improve student success outcomes. My journey into issues of equity, inclusion, and diversity was kick-started several years ago and I began reading books and articles, attending programs and workshops, and getting involved with equity initiatives on my campus. My journey continues to push me to think about how systems impact my work as an instructional designer and those that encounter my designs. I love connecting around topics of design justice, co-design, ethics, and instructional design decision-making. When I'm not thinking about all of these engaging topics, you can find me with my family, either on the soccer field with my son or the funky art shops with my daughter. My husband and I love to hike and be outside and our two dogs, Mojo and Pepper, would agree that this is a good way to spend every day (if they could!). Food, books, and good (decaf) coffee all rank high on my 'ways to be more hygge' list, as well. Hope to connect with you around shared interests online or in conference spaces!
