CelebratingTeaching Day

MARCH 8, 2018

Dear Colleagues:

Thank you for joining us for Celebrating Teaching Day 2018! This event is designed to highlight teaching on the Georgia Tech campus and to give us a chance to reflect on what we are doing to engage our students in meaningful learning experiences.

One of Georgia Tech’s primary goals is to foster learning environments where diverse learners can excel. Our celebration today showcases what Tech faculty have done this year to make this possible. The poster event features the accomplishments of several groups. For example, the Class 1969 Teaching Fellows, the Hesburgh Award Teaching Fellows, the Brittain Fellows, the Faculty Learning Communities, the CTL Teaching with Technology Partners, and GT-FIRE grant recipients have all undertaken projects that provide innovative teaching in an array of courses. You’ll also find posters featuring several educational initiatives undertaken recently such as the Distance Mathematics Program, Serve-Learn-Sustain, and the NSF-IGE grant on, “Integrating Team Science into the STEM Graduate Training Experience.” And finally, because today is International Women’s Day, look for posters that focus on inclusive teaching. For example, check out “Comparative Stratification Monopoly: Understanding Inequality through Games” and “Collideoscope: Subverting Stereotypes through Diversity Narratives.”

Just as important, the Center for Teaching and Learning aims to cultivate a campus culture that values and rewards teaching. Today, on Celebrating Teaching Day, we honor the recipients of both Thank a Teacher and the 2017 Class of 1940 Course Survey Teaching Effectiveness Award. We appreciate all these awardees do to offer a great education to students at Tech.

Our program this year reflects that many of us on campus have become increasingly aware of the range of challenges that our students experience as they earn their degrees. Some faculty have responded with more of a “whole person” approach to teaching—that is, they are looking for opportunities to help students learn even more than course content. By sharing their own stories of struggle at appropriate times in the semester, these faculty want students to know that it’s OK to encounter difficult situations, make mistakes, and figure out how to move forward in less than perfect ways. Their hope is to inspire students to persevere and deal with the unexpected when it occurs.

Celebrating Teaching Day is made possible in part by the generosity of the Class of 1969 alumni who fund our Teaching Fellows programs. We hope you enjoy this opportunity to gather with your campus colleagues to talk about what’s happening in classrooms on our campus and explore possibilities for the future. Thank you for dedicating your time and energy to teaching and learning excellence at Georgia Tech!

With best wishes,

Joyce Weinsheimer, DirectorCenter for Teaching and Learning

Noon Stories to Inspire “Grit” in Georgia Tech Students

Storytelling is an effective tool that can help us connect with our students. When we share stories of relevant moments in our lives in which we faced and ultimately overcame obstacles that helped us move forward academically and professionally, students are better able to relate to us. They may feel more comfortable in reaching out for help and inspired to reconnect to their grit and persevere a little longer. As you listen to your colleagues’ stories, we invite you to think about how you might tell your own stories to inspire grit in your students.

VERTICALLY INTEGRATED PROJECTS (VIP) INSTRUCTORSThe VIP context allows faculty and students to function as a research team within the context of a for-credit course. This hybrid model brings with it extra challenges, and so the VIP FLC was formed to create opportunities for VIP instructors to identify and share effective pedagogical practices that are uniquely suited to VIP. During the fall and spring semesters the group met to discuss the range of needs for VIP instructors, focusing on issues like grading, team organization and management, funding, intellectual property rights and VIP, and setting expectations for students with varied academic backgrounds and experience. The group’s goal is to produce materials for a VIP Instructor’s Handbook, as a resource for both new and returning VIP Instructors.

Joseph LeDoux, Associate Professor, Biomedical Engineering; Wendy Newstetter, Assistant Dean for Educational Research and Innovation for the College of Engineering; Julie Ancis, Associate Vice President for Institute Diversity; and Mahauganee Bonds, Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Engineering

The Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering (BME) at Georgia Tech and Emory University, in partnership with Tech’s Vice President for Institute Diversity’s Office, was awarded a $2 million grant from the National Science Foundation to undertake a five-year project that will prepare students to more effectively interact in teams of people with diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and approaches. Central to this project is the development and implementation of pedagogical interventions within core courses in the BME curriculum. The focus of these interventions is to help students identify and develop inclusive practices at multiple scales of interaction, from dyads to larger teams to whole classrooms. Three goals guide this project: the development of novel inclusive classroom practices within engineering; the implementation, evaluation, and continual revision of the newly developed practices; and, finally, the transformation of BME’s departmental culture into one that embraces and enacts inclusive practices, both in interpersonal interactions and within departmental policies and procedures.

Poster Title: Developing Interactive Online Instructional Tools for Systems Biology Using R Shiny Apps

Chris Kieslich, Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Engineering

As a part of BMED 3520 Biomedical Systems and Modeling, a required Junior/Senior-level course, we have been developing interactive online instructional tools that allow students to explore biological systems through simple user interfaces. In one type of online tool, random problems are automatically generated, and the corresponding solutions are revealed when prompted. This type of tool gives the students access to a near infinite number of practice problems to hone skills crucial to the course; online applications of this type have been very well received by the students. Development of additional online tools and the incorporation of new functionality, such as automatic document generation, are ongoing.

Distance Mathematics Program

Poster Title: The Distance Mathematics Program

Greg Mayer, Associate Academic Professional, Mathematics

Georgia Tech Distance Mathematics Program is a distance education program that offers consecutive semester-long, multisection mathematics courses to more than 450 high school students per year. DMP courses are simultaneously offered to undergraduates attending Tech and to high school students who are located throughout Georgia and unable to attend lectures on campus. These high school students have exhausted the math offerings in their high school and have been successful in the course, compared to their on-campus undergraduate student peers. They also matriculate in large numbers to Tech, making it a highly effective recruitment tool for attracting the most academically advanced students in the state.

The Distance Math Program is an initiative organized by the School of Math, Distance Learning, the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, and CEISMC. Together, these units work together to offer classes that are taught on our campus to our own Tech students while being delivered via live video or internet feed to students in more than 50 classrooms at partner high schools across Georgia. We aim to offer high school students the opportunity to experience the challenge of a college-level class without leaving their high school.

ECE 3005/6: Professional and Technical Communication for Engineers

Poster Title: Innovative Approaches to Communication Instruction in ECE

Christina Bourgeois, Senior Academic Professional, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Anna Holcomb, Research Associate, Electrical and Computer Engineering

As part of a curricular overhaul to the EE and CompE degree programs implemented by the school in 2012, all Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) undergraduates are required to take a junior-level technical communications course. Students can choose between two options, ECE 3005 or ECE 3006, giving them the freedom to choose a model that best suits their learning style. ECE 3005 is classroom-based with a highly interactive, workshop-style

learning environment. ECE 3006 is a highly personalized, self-paced, online hybrid course. ECE 3006 is an out-of-classroom option for students who are involved in a sanctioned co-curricular experience.

The School of Electrical and Computer Engineering has its own in-house communication program, the Undergraduate Professional Communications Program (UPCP). The UPCP houses three technical communications faculty members who offer embedded communication instruction at the sophomore and senior level and two stand-alone technical communication courses at the junior level. The UPCP also offers customized ECE workshops year-round ranging in topics from career fair preparation to best practices in presenting highly technical research. The UPCP partners with many organizations across campus to provide communication instruction to students involved in research (UROP, ORS, VIP), industry (co-op, internship), entrepreneurship (Create-X, InVenture Prize), or leadership (Grand Challenges, Denning’s T&M program). In all its endeavors, the UPCP strives to provide technical communication instruction using highly applicable methods that have inherent real-world value for our engineering students. In the absence of essay-writing instruction, our students are learning to consider the end-user before putting “words to paper,” to evaluate the impact of organization on usability, and to eliminate fluff for clear, concise writing.

Educational Research and Innovation, College of Engineering

The Office of Educational Research and Innovation at the College of Engineering focuses on transforming engineering education by encouraging the development of innovative faculty and educational approaches through a number of ongoing initiatives.

Graphing in the Classroom Poster Title: Using Graphing Materials to Improve Undergraduate Biology Students’ Graph Choice, Construction, and Interpretation in an Upper-Division Animal Behavior Lecture Course

Aakanksha Angra, Postdoctoral Scholar, Biological Sciences, and Emily Weigel, Academic Professional, Biological Sciences

Science policy documents at the K-12 and undergraduate levels emphasize graphing skills. However, previous literature has shown that although students are competent at plotting and identifying data points, they struggle with graph choice, construction, and interpretation. The objective of this study was to assess students’ graphing skill progression by utilizing evidence-based graphing materials (Angra and Gardner, 2016). Graphing instruction and implementation of graphing materials was guided by the cognitive apprenticeship model, which makes the context of student learning relevant and allows numerous opportunities for the student to practice skills, that guide them toward expertise. Students worked individually and in small groups to design experiments, collect and analyze data, present their findings in graphical formats, and interpret published experiments in animal behavior. Student usage of the instructional materials was noted in the instructor’s field notes and through classroom observations, and students were encouraged to use these materials in all aspects of the course, including on exams that contained graphing components. The effectiveness of the graphing materials and students’ graphing abilities were evaluated by pre/post-survey on graph knowledge, and the attributes and quality of student-generated graphs throughout the semester. Data from this preliminary study are promising with students demonstrating improved graphical abilities by the end of the semester.

Honors Program: Meditation, Mindfulness, and Mental Acuity Roberta Berry, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Director of GT Honors Program, Monica Halka, Associate Director GT Honors Program

The Georgia Tech Honors Program fosters curiosity, creativity, and connection—to the Honors Program, Tech, and communities beyond. Honors Program students are encouraged to pursue their curiosity, creativity, and connection across disciplinary boundaries and the boundary between theory and practice. In advancing its mission, the Honors Program enhances the capacity of our highly motivated students and future alumni to advance the Tech mission of “Progress and Service.”

Recently, The Honors Program initiated a program designed to introduce the practices of mindfulness to its students, with the goal of spreading understanding and use of these methods across the university campus. Mindfulness meditation is known to reduce stress and promote focus and awareness to assist students in making a successful transition to college by becoming better acquainted with the research and techniques to cope with stress and the burdens of mental exertion. honorsprogram.gatech.edu

Innovation and Design CollaborativeWayne Li, Professor of the Practice of Design and Engineering

Tech is known for evolving minds to craft fitting solutions for real-world problems. We pride ourselves in our ability to get over hurdles and around barriers. And rightfully so. Coincidentally, one of our greatest challenges is that we all too often solve problems with one-dimensional thinking. Enter the Innovation and Design Collaborative, or “Design Bloc.” We understand how to frame problems before we solve them. With an interdisciplinary approach to innovation and invention, we transcend boundaries and activate design behavior across our student body through for-credit classes, just-in-time workshops, engagements with industry, and social events.

We teach. We mentor. We craft. We build. We fail. We listen. We rebuild. We learn. We launch. We empathize. We ask. We care. We sharpen. We better. We persist. designcollaborative.gatech.edu

Innovative Biology Lab and Lecture Course for Nonmajors

Poster Title: Engineering Traps to Lure Fruit Flies: An Inquiry Lab for Non-Biology Majors

Aakanksha Angra, Postdoctoral Scholar, Biological Sciences, and Chrissy Spencer, Senior Academic Professional, Biological Sciences

The Biology of Sex and Death is an exciting and innovative course offering created by the School of Biology. The course is for nonmajors, includes a lecture and lab component, and fulfills a lab science elective. Lectures are taught using the flipped classroom model, and course content is delivered to students through the course website (bio1220.biology.gatech.edu). This website is a repository of carefully curated biology content that align with the specific learning goals of the course and associated assessments. Labs are taught using inquiry pedagogy, which is a student-centered learning approach, and fosters metacognition, which is essential to the process of science. The lab is structured around various sex-and death-themed topics and allows students to work in small groups to plan and execute their experiments, collect and analyze data, present data in graphs, and critique their findings. We have currently gathered pre/post-assessment data on the usefulness of the various labs and student perception of their science skill development. We look forward to collecting long-term data as the course grows to see the impact this has on students longterm.

In the second half of the 20th century, research in STEM experienced a major shift toward multiauthored papers and team-based contributions. Tech was awarded an NSF-IGE Grant to better equip all STEM graduate students for success in today’s team-based workplace. Tech faculty and staff are collaborating to develop, implement, and assess an evidence-based team science professional development program for Master of Science and Ph.D. students. We

draw on best practices in team training from the industry, the military, and the health care sector, as well as higher education institutions. Competencies we aim to improve include knowledge of the nature and value of teamwork, skills in communication and conflict management, attitudes about diversity and inclusiveness, including working across interdisciplinary boundaries, and technical know-how to facilitate team work in geographically distributed teams. To maximize flexibility and transferability to different environments and other institutions, the curricular materials are created in small units that can be delivered in a multitude of settings, integrated into academic courses, combined into workshops or expanded into a semester-long program.

Mechanics of Materials: Facilitating a Hands-On Learning Experience with 3-D PrintingKate Fu, Assistant Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Jerry Qi, Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Ruth Poproski, Academic Professional, Center for Teaching and Learning, Gordon Kingsley, Associate Professor, Public Policy, James Cawthorne, Postdoctoral Scholar, Center for Teaching and Learning, Myela Paige, Graduate Student, Mechanical Engineering, Mykala Sinclair, Undergraduate Student, Mechanical Engineering, Tanvi Singh, Graduate Student, Industrial Design

Mechanics of materials, the study of how solid objects behave when forces are applied to them, is an important foundational course in many engineering disciplines. It is a required course for mechanical, civil, aerospace, environmental, and nuclear engineering majors.

In this project we are aiming to enhance undergraduate education in mechanics of materials by using hands-on learning techniques. Specifically, we are creating modules that make use of 3-D-printed artifacts for use teaching the core concepts in mechanics of materials (e.g., torsion, beam deflection, and so on). These modules will be deployed and studied in Tech classes and will be made available for use by way of a website dedicated to the project. The


11

project team will also conduct research on the impact of the hands-on learning approach on student learning, self-efficacy, knowledge retention, and satisfaction in the undergraduate-level course in mechanics of materials.

Preparing Future Faculty for Reflective Instruction: Teaching-as-Research @ Georgia Tech, Center for Teaching and Learning

Poster Title: Preparing Future Faculty for Reflective Instruction: Teaching-as-Research @ Georgia Tech

Kata Dosa, Postdoctoral Scholar, Center for Teaching and Learning, and David Lawrence, Senior Academic Professional, Center for Teaching and Learning

Instructors ask themselves questions about their students’ learning every day: What worked? Did they enjoy it? What are they struggling with? We want our students to learn what we think is important enough to be teaching them. We want them to feel inspired. But, how do we know we are accomplishing those goals?

Teaching-as-Research (TAR) is the process of looking at student learning with research methods: instructors ask questions grounded in their classroom experience, they purposefully gather data and analyze it, and they situate their findings in the literature in their specific discipline.

In spring 2018, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) launched a Teaching-as-Research program for graduate students interested in thinking about their teaching systematically. The program first introduces participants to foundations in teaching-as-research through a weekly noncredit seminar, culminating in a research proposal. Those who elect to implement their project in the fall will be connected to and mentored by faculty members from across campus, as well as CTL staff. Completion of the TAR program will be rewarded with a Scholar Level CIRTL certificate—a valuable addition to any academic application portfolio.

Rubrics in EducationPoster Title: Rubrics in Education: A Study of Their Features, Use, and Quality

Aakanksha Angra, Postdoctoral Scholar, Biological Sciences, and Ruth Poproski, Academic Professional, Center for Teaching and Learning

Rubrics are tools intended to provide clarity and guidance for the assessment of performance according to well-defined criteria. While many papers and books exist on rubric use and construction, there is a gap in understanding the extent to which rubrics are used as effective assessment tools in the classroom. The objective of this study is to conduct a targeted analysis of the rubric assessment literature to better understand this gap, specifically the features, uses, and quality of rubrics. To guide our analysis, we used a modified version of Dawson’s (2017) framework of categorization of rubrics. Current findings show that rubric use is well-documented with middle school students, particularly to improve writing skills. There is less evidence of rubric use in higher education. Findings from our study will result in the development of instructional tools to better guide classroom practices.

Serve-Learn-SustainPoster Title: Serve-Learn-Sustain: Community Engagement and the U.N. Sustainable Development Goals

Ruth Yow, Service Learning and Partnerships Specialist, Serve-Learn-Sustain

To equip Tech students to use their disciplinary skills to help create sustainable communities, the Center for Serve-Learn-Sustain (SLS), a campuswide initiative launched in 2016, offers a raft of compelling affiliated courses (serve-learn-sustain.gatech.edu/get-involved/courses). For example, our Fall Buzz Course on Universal Design, created through a partnership between Health and Design Studio Professor and CATEA Director Jon Sanford and the Georgia Farmers Market Association gave students an opportunity to interact with design faculty, community members, and market managers in learning to design for more universally accessible farmers markets.

Many of these courses also have a community-engagement dimension and highlight our 2017-2018 theme: the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). These SLS courses—and related resources such as our Teaching Toolkit (serve-learn-sustain.gatech.edu/teaching-toolkit)—provide students with new perspectives and deeper understanding of the U.N. SDGs. For example, HSOC Professor Jennifer Singh’s course, the Sociology of Health, offers students CPR training in concert with a group providing that service specifically to low-income communities facing myriad health inequities (SDG Goal 3: Good Health and Well Being). Across the colleges, SLS-affiliated instructors are creatively partnering with local organizations while supplying a broader context—global Sustainable Development Goals—for the work students do for and with their course partners and clients.

Additionally, all of the courses and instructors described above are part of SLS’s new Level 1 Affiliates Program, which provides funding for faculty to work closely with SLS and their colleagues to further align their courses with the SLS sustainable communities framework (serve-learn-sustain.gatech.edu/course-affiliation-info#n3).

The Provost Task Force for the Learning Environment at Tech was created to address student concerns expressed in the 2015


12

Undergraduate Student Experience Survey. Students’ comments focused NOT on the difficulty of classes but on their perceptions of various roadblocks to learning within the campus environment. One of the task force’s recommendations acknowledged that, while there are superb instructors on campus, the institution should facilitate, “raising instructor awareness of the learning environment and its significance.” This project, supported by the Office of the Provost, provides faculty and instructional staff an evidence-based, web-accessible resource that: (1) describes the composition of the learning environment at Tech, and (2) provides strategies for creating a positive learning environment in their classroom.

The Office of the ArtsMadison Cairo, Director, Office of the Arts

The Office of the Arts serves to help promote and facilitate on campus activities and community partnerships. Leading efforts at the nexus of science, engineering, art, and design, the Office of the Arts focuses on activating the Midtown Atlanta campus with art, engaging the campus and community with deep and broad arts experiences, and producing the collaborative work created by artists and Tech faculty, staff, and students.

The Office of the Arts is working with the Georgia Tech Council for the Arts to support the Creative Curricular Initiatives program in

which faculty, staff, and students discover and share the connections between art and academics. Fifteen campus projects are underway this semester, with art and academics coming together in a wide array of courses including academic areas not normally associated with arts learning. For a list of all projects currently underway, visit: arts.gatech.edu/content/faculty-staff-student-projects-selected-cci-artsacademics-funding.
