... This poster focuses on the importance of introducing graphic design majors to the process of co-design, the process of designing with stakeholders rather than for them. Graphic Design majors in ART 343 Design for Print Media engaged three client-focused projects in the fall 2019 semester. Students developed design solutions with clients from Ascension/St. Vincent, Marian Universitys Writing Center, and Computer Science students. Through practicing a co-design process, students learn to become design process guides or facilitators. They learn to leverage their expertise of design and research, but also learn not to let their own ambitions or ideas drive the outcomes. While guiding stakeholders through the design process of ideation and development, students learn to develop and raise the fidelity of their ideas and ultimately, design products.

Our clients from Ascension and The Writing Center provided students with valuable feedback and encouragement. Students grew increasingly confident in their ideas and engaged as professionals throughout the projects. The Ethos journal project provided opportunities for individual and group contributions. One of the most important experiences for students was learning to understand and incorporate clients objectives and goals.

INTEGRATED: As evidenced in the products shown above, students drew upon knowledge gained from not only their major, but from their general education studies at Marian University. In fact, the research, ideation, and presentation phases of their projects drew heavily from other disciplines eg. literature, history, communications, etc. Students shared that the projects helped them understand how to synthesize their interests as designers with the clients industry and the issues that matter to them. Students also gained insights into the values and commitments of the clients, and began to understand themselves as contributing professionals.  ...

We tested whether requiring students to use a rubric to evaluate high-, intermediate-, and low-quality examples of deidentified student writing improved students ability to self-evaluate scientific writing using a rubric. We found that providing students with exemplar papers along with a writing rubric improved the students ability to self-evaluate, and ultimately improved the quality of scientific writing in undergraduate students enrolled in a CURE. INTRODUCTION Effective written communication is a basic skill required for all undergraduate students, and learning to write a scientific paper is a standard part of the biology curriculum at Marian University. As a department, the biology faculty has developed a Writing Across the Curriculum model to guide students in learning to analyze and write about scientific research. We have produced a rubric to scaffold the learning process throughout the curriculum. However, we have found that even with a rubric and a detailed list of requirements, students still produce poorly written scientific papers. Thus, we have incorporated an activity in the BIO203L Molecular Genetics lab requiring students to use the rubric to evaluate high-, intermediate-, and low-quality examples of de-identified student writing. We report that this activity improves students ability to selfevaluate scientific writing with a rubric. Score (%)  ...

... Andrea K. Owens, MSNEd, RN, CRNI, VA-BC Assistant Professor, Marian University, Leighton School of Nursing Providing safe and effective care is identified by the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses guidelines as an essential competency (QSEN, www.qsen.org). The overall goal for the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) project is to meet the challenge of preparing future nurses who will have the knowledge, skills and attitudes (KSAs) necessary to continuously improve the quality and safety of the healthcare systems within which they work. First semester nursing students are challenged to evaluate their awareness of how their words impact communication with colleagues and patients. After formal teaching to present standardized tools for clear communication, students participate in a simulation activity. Interpretation of the meaning of words may vary according to an individuals background and experiences. (Arnold & Boggs, 2020) Inaccuracies in interpretation can lead to errors that translate to safety concerns for patient care outcomes. Students learn that LEGO building has a specific language and understanding of that language results in enhanced outcomes with successful communication of the building process. Even without knowledge of LEGO speak, students will utilize a measure of critical thinking to maximize communication success. This includes strategically combining mathematical concepts, color wheel descriptions and verbal descriptions for thought visualization. Frustration with the process occurs when communication is challenged either by ineffective description or a language barrier. ESL students have found success with stating the communication in their native language and then translating it back to English.

... Big Worksheets for Small Groups: Making Small-Group Discussion More Hands-On and Goal-Directed Amanda C. Egan, Ph.D.  Marian University Indianapolis  Dept. of Psychological Science & Counseling Summar Instructors frequently have students get into small groups for discussion during class. This can be a beneficial way to engage students & break-up the rhythm of a class, but there are also inherent drawbacks to small-group discussion. Groups get off-topic, underprepared & reticent student withhold participation, & contributions are difficult to assess. This activity was revised based on empirical findings from small groups research to improve small group, in-class discussions to maximize engagement & learning while minimizing problematic group behaviors. Students in a Psychology of Religion course worked collaboratively on large-format (24 x 36 worksheets to analyze the empirical support & conceptual overlap of four theories intended to explain helping behavior. Each student was assigned a perspective to represent, given time to review prior to discussion, & worked in four-person groups to complete a worksheet during class. The larger size of the worksheet facilitated collaborative group work. Learning Objectives Assignment: To critically evaluate alternate theories of prosocial behavior. Course: To develop skills necessary to engage in respectful, intellectual discussion & debate that demonstrates dignity of the individual regarding others faith traditions. Theoretical & Empirical Basis Idioms such as two heads are better than one & many hands make light work suggest that groups projects should yield superior results to individual assignments. However, teachers & students alike can attest that group work is fraught with challenges. In-class discussions are a form of group work prone to all of the same issues as group projects. Much behavioral research has investigated how small groups of individuals work together & share information. This literature has revealed a number of obstacles, both structural & motivational, that prevent groups from operating optimally & served as the basis for re-designing this small-group activity. Social loafing is a phenomenon wherein individuals exert less effort when working on a task as a part of a group, particularly when that task is additive & individual efforts are not easily recognized nor rewarded (Latan, Williams, & Harkins, 1979). Because these are features common to small-group discussions (e.g., the instructor cannot easily tell who is contributing more, there are no individual incentives) students contribute less. Psychological power refers to how much status or control a person feels they have in a given situation & is determined by asymmetric control over valuable resources (Galinsky, Gruenfeld, & Magee, 2003). In small-group discussions resources include information about the topic & access to handouts. Students are more participative when they perceive themselves as having more power via access to such resources. Information sharing among small groups tends to focus on information that all or many members possess rather than unique information that one or a minority of members posses. In part, this is because sharing unique information requires more effort & explanation while sharing common information is met with social approval & promotes group cohesion. However, this can lead to those holding minority viewpoint to self-censor & groups may make suboptimal decisions as a result of groupthink (Larson & Egan, 2020). Activit Features & Procedure Large-Format Worksheet Pre-Discussion Review Assigned Roles Reduces social loafing & Increases psychological power Reduces social loafing by increases psychological power by increasing access to taskmaking the task divisible & by granting all members equal relevant information (i.e., a conjunctive (vs. additive) so access to needed resources valuable resource). members cannot compensate (e.g., worksheet, instructions).

... FYS ON CAMPUS AND BEHIND BARS Department: First Year Seminar Instructors: Jenny Ambroise/ Holly Gastineau-Grimes Seeing, Thinking, Wondering KIVA - My Material World Premise: Through his exploration of the global garment industry, author Kelsey Timmerman learns about the different cultures that he visits. In Seeing, Thinking, Wondering students reflect on three prompts to deepen their understanding of specific African cultures. Premise: Kelsey Timmerman considers the global garment industry as one model to encourage economic development across countries. In KIVA My Materia World students explore other examples, such as entrepreneurship and education. 1) Inclusive: Students took a tour of Newfields African Collection. While on the tour, each student selected one object and wrote notes on the following prompts: What do you see? What do you think about that? What does it make you wonder? They then shared their discoveries when they returned to the classroom. Reflecting individually and having time to process before sharing with the class encouraged participation from all students. Students were challenged to strengthen their understanding of seemingly different cultures from their own through careful observation, interpretation, and further research and discussion. 1) Inclusive: After reading Parts I and II of Where Am I Wearing, students were invited to reflect on their own clothing choices and then take a global map tour with the following prompts: What favorite/special shirt or item did you wear to class today? Explain what it looks like and why you chose to share this item. Check the tag where is it from? Can you find the country on the map? What would you like to learn about this country? 2) Integrated: This strategy allowed for students to blend their personal interests with others around the world. KIVA is a platform that allows individuals to help others through crowdfunding and micro-loans (these are small loans to help those who cant access traditional banking). Students worked with partners to explore the site and proposals. This form of research strengthens intellectual curiosity across majors. 3) Impactful: Students voted on one loan proposal for the class to fund. This exercise required students to showcase their research, observational, and communication skills as each pair of students were tasked with explaining why the class should fund their selected proposal. This project both hones student skills and gives them an opportunity to help their global community. 2) Integrated: This strategy encouraged students to explore their personal interests by selecting objects that stood out to them in the collection, and this strategy could be applied to research in multiple disciplines. By visiting the museum, students integrated campus curriculum with learning in the broader Indianapolis community. 3) Impactful: This exercise helps set the stage for practicing primary source research, developing keen observational skills, and eliciting curiosity. Behind Bars: FIRST YEAR SEMINAR The First Year Seminar lays out Communication Fluency as one of the General Education Outcomes. Each individual class crafts their own assignments to achieve this objective. We spotlight two example assignments that both foster communication fluency, one inspired by the fine arts that explores African Art and a second from the social sciences that explores global development projects. Additionally, we show how to replicate these two assignments with a few personal modifications for classes beyond the traditional campus, at the Indiana Womens Prison. Course Objective: Communication Fluency Demonstrate critical and creative strategies for generating and sharing meaning Behind Bars: At the Indiana Womens Prison, 2 key changes were made: 1. African Art: Rather than visit the museum, students studied two authentic African masks for the Seeing, Thinking, Wondering prompt. 2. Student Art: Students made their own versions of masks using a pop-up technique with paper, which served to integrate students own life experiences with the exercise. I was inspired by the elegance of the Yaure and the symbolic nature of the masks. I love the representation of something being put to death and new life being gleaned from the pieces left behind. The secrets of the broken heart is the death of the violence and hate that was called love in my life. - IWP Student, 2019 (mask pictured in upper right) 1) 2) Name experiences and concepts with insightful and appropriate specificity Support claims with specific evidence, data, and illustrations as appropriate to writing assignments At the Indiana Womens Prison, 2 key changes were made: 1) Technology: Selected projects were pulled from the kiva site and shared with students as a hard copy packet. Students still paired together to explore and select a project to fund. 2) Student Prompt: The women all have the same clothing a few tags can be found on shoes, etc., Students were asked to circle back in their thinking about the project and reflect on the following prompt: KIVA also operates in the United States. Imagine that you have the opportunity to craft a proposal for either yourself, a friend, or a fellow student who has sought your expertise. What might you propose for a loan? One student proposed a loan to kick-start a dog foster and training program, pulling on her expertise gained from working with the Indiana Canine Assistant Network at the Indiana Womens Prison.  ...

... Online Tools for Active In-Class Learning Demetrice Smith-Mutegi, dmsmith@marian.edu Marian University, Klipsch Educators College INTRODUCTION All around us, we witness the pervasive use of technology, from advancing social media platforms to voice-controlled computers and phones. While technology continues to make progress in western society, it has also impacted the way some students are taught in schools around the country. In a 2009 study, 97% of teachers reported having access to a computer in the classroom daily (Gray, L., Thomas, N., & Lewis, L., 2010). In an education market study of 500 school educators, administrators, and IT staff, 78% reported that technology has an overall positive net impact on education (CompTIA, n.d.). In many instances, technology is used to motivate and scaffold de understanding and to offer an alternative approach to traditional activities and lessons (Higgins & Spitulnik, 2008). SURVEY TOOLS Google Forms Uses: Beginning of semester student information surveys and syllabus quizzes. Pros: Easy to use; sharable links available immediately; free to use with Google/Gmail accounts Cons: Not connected to MU accounts/credentials Office 365 Forms Uses: Very similar to the uses of Google Forms Pros: Can use with Office account (Outlook credentials); saves automatically in your One Drive folder Cons: Not as easy to use as Google Forms; difficult to modify questions after they are written The purpose of this poster is to share examples of my instructional use of technology integration in Education courses with pre-service educators at Marian University. This implementation has provided opportunities for students to use technology to analyze moral and ethical issues in education, identify multiple approaches to solving a problem through multiple perspectives, and communicate effectively. CONTEXT The educational technologies discussed in this poster presentation were integrated in the following courses during the Fall 2019 semester: EDU 307: Science of Learning 2 Sections EDU 419: Best Practices in Teaching 1 Section Most students were equipped with their own laptop of smart device. When necessary, students were provided advanced notice of technology requiring a laptop in class. Tools were primarily used to engage students in discussions, to collect data, and to share feedback. Poll Everywhere Uses: Used to engage all students during a warm-up or exit question. Pros: Can integrate into PowerPoint/Google slides; multiple uses include surveying and assessment; can use a Google account to register; immediate feedback; students can respond through multiple methods; selected and open responses allowed Cons: All students will need access to a smart device or computer; free version is limited to 40 responses per activity ASSESSMENT TOOLS Plickers Uses: To deliver quick assessments with limited use of technology. Pros: Free for a limited set of questions; immediate feedback; increased confidentiality in responses Cons: Limited to selected response/multiple choice questions; requires some setting up to track student responses; will require instructor to download app on smartphone Kahoot! Uses: Quick in-class assessment platform that is very engaging, even for college-aged students. Pros: Fast and easy to make; highly engaging and competitive; can quickly communicate the directions for signing on; able to make subtle modifications for assessment purposes Cons: scoring is not clear; limited to selected response/multiple choice questions; all students will need to have a smart device (or computer) to participate Canvas Peer Review Feature Uses: Used to assign peer reviewers in Canvas on first drafts of assignments. Pros: Students can be assigned automatically or manually; instructor can monitor feedback; students e ed fee i g fficia he idi g feedbac ; students have an electronic record of feedback in Canvas Cons: Students cannot edit scores when using a rubric after they have saved the assignment; quality of feedback varies for each student MULTI-USE TOOLS Padlet Uses: Any activity that would require poster paper; used to share ideas and critique/provide feedback during class discussions. Pros: Free; easy to share and edit; downloadable in PDF; students can like, comment, rate, etc. Cons: limited to three Free Padlet pages Google Docs Uses: Used to collaborate on in-class assignments and scheduling meeting times. Pros: Integrates with Canvas; has multiple uses; realtime Cons: must set up notifications in order to receive updates; when using the link to edit option, you cannot determine the author Popplet Uses: After reading an article, students created concept maps to communicate ideas they shared as a group. Pros: Free; quick; great way to add variety to typical group discussion and sharing; can be saved after opening an account; easy sharing via email Cons: limited designs; does not save without an account leading to lost work and frustrated students References: CompTIA (n.d.).

... ABSTRACT Problem-based learning (PBL) has long been recognized as a valuable pedagogical tool. The Biomedical Masters in Science (BMS) program is uniquely suited to promote active learning through the use of discussion based PBLs, but also foster a supportive community of learners by incorporating volunteer facilitators that are BMS alums and current medical students at Marian University. PBLs extend our Medical Physiology and Pharmacology curriculums, but also provide an opportunity for different learners to connect material across graduate and medical curriculums. PBL exercises are graded via a group rubric, while debriefing and reflection occurs via the video response system, FlipGrid. ACTIVITY GUIDELINES Students report to their assigned rooms in the Evans Center. Facilitator hands out copies of the case study. o Groups are given a few minutes to review the case, notes, and other sources before being prompted with assigned questions. Points of emphasis during the discussion: o Relate pharmacological principles to your case discussion. o When discussing drug(s) to administer also explain how you would discuss with the patient how the drug(s) work. At the conclusion of the exercise facilitators fill out one group rubric (See right panel of poster). A short individual follow-up reflection video must be posted on FlipGrid by the following afternoon. PBL Grades: 2.5% total grade x 4 PBLs = 10% final grade Biomedical Problem Solving & Learning Community Building Hear from our students directly Scan the codes: Julia Hum, Ph.D. Marian University Assistant Professor of Physiology College of Osteopathic Medicine Areas of Evaluation Group clearly identifies the key issues to consider in discussing the patients case Excellent Group attempts to make connections between the cases and related coursework Group accurate discusses the mechanism of action(s) of drug(s) and describes how the drug works to the patient Group identifies some of the key issues to consider in discussing the patients case Group didnt engage well with each other during discussion of patients cases Group makes no attempt to connect the cases with related coursework Group only discusses mechanism of action of drug. Group identifies only a couple of issues related to the patients case Below Average 5 pts Group works together to provide thoughtful discussion of the patients cases Average 8 pts Scoring FEEDBACK RUBRIC Identification of the Important Issues Related to the Case 10pts Relation to coursework Discussion Dynamics Drug Intervention(s) Groups makes accurate connections between the case and related coursework Group provides a judicious and logical description of drug interventions, as well as accurately describes how the drug works and effects the drug(s) will have on elevating the patients symptoms Group works well together to provide insightful and through discussion of the patients cases Each member of the group uploads a brief reflection of PBL discussion by 12/05 @ noon FlipGrid Reflection Additional Comments or Feedback: Group Score BUILDING LEARNING COMMUNITIES It has been important to me to intentionally provide support to the BMS students and let them know that the former students are one of many groups of people on campus that are happy to help them out and eager to watch them succeed. - OMSI One of my favorite parts of acting as a PBL facilitator is getting to spend time with the students providing encouragement. -OMSI I liked how the PBLs were in individual rooms and with different facilitators. -BMS Student The PBL sessions were the greatest thing about this course. BMS Student Its very rewarding to have these days where we can both share with one another and continue building the bond between our programs. OMSI Ive been able to share small tidbits about what Ive learned with the current BMS students and spend some time reminiscing about when I was in their shoes. OMSI "I have loved the time Ive gotten to spend being a facilitator for PBLs. It has been fun as a medical student to get to revisit this material and know so much more about the practical aspects of these cases. -OMSI I think the facilitators were an important part of why I enjoyed the structure because each facilitator brought new insight and understanding of the material. BMS Student As a facilitator, it has been wonderful to come back to these cases and see what I remember, what Ive learned since I saw them as a BMS student, and to meet and get to know the current BMS students. - OMSI  ...
