CSCW 2012 Note - Wikipedia Public Policy InitiativeCliff Lampe

��

One of the biggest challenges faced by social media sites like Wikipedia is how to motivate users to contribute content. Research continues to demonstrate that only a small percentage of users contribute to user-generated content sites. In this study we assess the results of a Wikimedia Foundation initiative, which had graduate and undergraduate students from 22 U.S. universities contribute content to Wikipedia articles as part of their coursework. 185 students were asked about their participation in the initiative and their intention to participate on Wikipedia in the future. Results suggest that intentions to continue contributing are influenced by the initial attitude towards the class, and the degree to which students perceived they were writing for a global audience.

Strategies for Enhancing Faculty EngagementBonner Foundation

��

This document outlines various strategies for increasing faculty engagement in academic community engagement at institutions of higher education. These strategies include offering faculty mini-grants and professional development opportunities focused on civic engagement pedagogy. Additional strategies involve facilitating faculty learning circles, developing multi-course civic engagement sequences, and creating civic engagement certificate or minor programs. The document also discusses ways students and institutions can engage faculty, such as through student-driven independent research projects or making civic engagement a priority in tenure and promotion guidelines. The overarching goal of these strategies is to more deeply integrate civic engagement throughout institutions on a curricular level and recognize such work in faculty roles and responsibilities.

Teachers’ work: The tacit pedagogy of expert teachers in rural Malawi.Chris High

��

This document outlines a participatory video project in rural Malawi that investigated teachers' understanding of active learning. Interviews with teachers revealed a more sophisticated understanding of concepts like active learning than implied by their training. This challenges assumptions of teachers having deficits. The participatory video process allowed teachers to engage in sense-making and helped researchers gain trust to get a richer view of teaching practice beyond what is easy to measure. The study suggests capacity building is an ongoing process of exchange between teachers' communities of practice.

AERA 2012 - A Case Study Examining the Perspectives of an At-Risk, Rural Stud...Michael Barbour

��

Barbour, M. K., & Siko, J. (2012, April). A case study examining the perspectives of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in virtual schooling. A paper presented at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association, Vancouver, BC. A large population of virtual schooling students are defined as “at-risk.” However, there is little research that focuses on the experiences of these students. This case study, based on interviews and video observations of an at-risk, rural student enrolled in an online course, brings light to some of these experiences. The student was good at prioritizing, often took the path of least resistance to achieve the minimum level of expectations, and demonstrated waning productivity during class. The student was also able to clearly express his thoughts on what was needed to succeed in an online course. As more rural students have to learn online, it is important to better understand how to design, deliver and support virtual schooling.

Youth On Board 2009YOB2009

��

The Youth on Board program places high school students on the boards of local non-profits and governments to provide a youth perspective and promote volunteerism. Students serve a one-year term, attend board meetings and participate in committees or projects, while also receiving training and mentoring.

The need for such services is highlighted, as foster youth often face challenges including low graduation rates, mobility between schools and districts, and high special education needs. Contact information is provided for representatives from each example program.

Dennis Pruitt: Student Affairs in the 21st CenturyUniversity of South Carolina Division of Student Affairs and Academic Support

��

This presentation provides an overview of student affairs and related topics. It begins with learning outcomes, which are to obtain contextual understanding of student affairs, frame current issues, and share views through discussion. It then discusses definitions of wisdom and viewing things with a "blank slate." The historical role of student affairs shifted from disciplinarian to educator. Student affairs is now a profession with standards and associations. Functional areas of student affairs are reviewed. Principles of good practice emphasize active learning and community. Assessment models like Astin's I-E-O are presented. Challenges facing higher education like funding and metrics are discussed. The presentation concludes with questions about the future of student affairs and collaboration with academic affairs.

��

This document summarizes an international online learning project between vocational educators in Scotland, England, Finland, and South Africa. The project aimed to connect educators across boundaries through online collaboration and lesson planning. It involved two phases: the first had groups jointly plan lessons using technologies, which helped with identification, coordination, and reflection; the second was an expert-led discussion of professional challenges. Learners' experiences varied, with some actively engaging while others faced logistical barriers. Lessons learned include the need for collaborative design, a clear goal, and activities relevant to local practices. International online collaboration shows potential for boundary crossing and expanding perspectives, but implementation challenges remain around inclusion, scalability, and balancing structure with flexibility.

Engaging Generation Z: Integrating Global and Local Vision, Structure, and In...CIEE

��

How are universities responding to two recent paradigm shifts impacting global education? First, there is a generational change between millennials and the new cohort known as K or Z. While our current traditional undergraduates may be more anxious, skeptical, and know only smartphones, they also crave connection and are makers, creators, and inventors. (“Think millennials have it tough? For 'Generation K', life is even harsher.” The Guardian, March 19, 2016) The second shift is the increased fluidity between global and local interactions and groups. As classrooms continue to diversify with international and first-generation students, the university community – students, faculty, and staff – must obtain and demonstrate intercultural agility, curiosity, and empathy to navigate the complexities of the contemporary world. This session addresses how the University of St. Thomas has implemented into its administrative structure an innovative partnership between faculty from diverse disciplines and education abroad professionals to address the new realities of global and local engagement that respond to the world’s most pressing needs.

Dialogue with participants will be framed around approaches for curriculum alignment and for developing and maintaining mutually beneficial community partnerships.

This document discusses the importance of friendships in supporting student transition and retention. It presents findings from research that show social integration and making friends, especially early on, can help students feel like they belong and be more likely to persist in their studies. Specific strategies are suggested to help students make friends, such as icebreakers, organized social activities, and embedding more small group work and interactions into course design. While halls of residence are important locations to form initial friendships, other strategies may be needed to support students not living on campus. Overall, intentionally creating opportunities for friendship formation can help students feel more integrated both socially and academically.
