CAE Innovative Practices Spotlight
Professor Tatiana Pashkova-Balkenhol is being recognized in the December Innovative Practices Spotlight for her creation of a project called Research 2 Practice: Bridging the Research, Theory, and Practice Divide in an upper-level early childhood education course.
Please visit the CAE Innovative Practices Spotlight to learn about her exciting experience and to learn ways to incorporate innovative practices into your classroom.
Since October 2015, the Center for Academic Excellence has regularly shared “Innovative Practices Spotlight” on the our Webpage. The spotlight is intended to highlight faculty on campus who are examining their practice, taking risks and engaging their students in new ways.
Now is your chance to nominate a colleague for this recognition. Do you know someone who is supporting student success in creative ways? Do you know someone who is incorporating new strategies to teach and assess their students? Head to https://tinyurl.com/InnovPrac to nominate them.

Monday Morning Mentor: How Can Online Instructors Better Manage Their Workload?
February 3, 2020
On demand at http://9nl.pw/MUMentors
Brian Udermann, PhD, Director, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
About 60-70% of faculty believe that teaching online courses is more work intensive than teaching face-to-face courses. Factors include course preparation before teaching, managing sometimes unwieldy online discussions, and even fielding student questions around the clock. While teaching online can be time demanding, faculty can use a variety of strategies, including simple, quick tasks to do before the course starts, to better manage their workload while instructing their online course. Most importantly, when instructors can keep their workload to a manageable level when teaching online, they will reduce stress, which translates to a better overall experience for both instructors and students.
