The 2016-2017 Campus Conversations schedule has been set. In partnership with each NU campus, University of Nebraska Online Worldwide co-hosts a series of talks focused on key topics related to education in the face of rapidly changing technology, called Campus Conversations. Each session is held at a host campus and streamed live on the web for those who are unable to attend.

The first webcast series takes place on October 6, 2016, when the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK) hosts Dr. Tom Tobin, Coordinator of Learning Technologies in the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago. In the field of online-course and program quality, he is best known for his work on administrative-evaluation techniques; his article on “Best Practices for Administrative Evaluation of Online Faculty” (2004) is considered a seminal work in the field, and has been cited in more than 150 publications. His latest work is Evaluating Online Teaching: Implementing Best Practices (Wiley, 2015) with University of Kearney instructor, B. Jean Mandernach and Ann H. Taylor. He is currently writing Reach Everyone, Teach Everyone: A Practitioner’s Guide to Universal Design for Learning in Higher Education, expected from West Virginia University Press in 2017.

Tobin presents, Keys that Unlock Evaluating Online Teaching on October 6, 2016 at 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. (CST). The presentation is available via live webcast and will be recorded and distributed after the discussion. Registration is required.

Additional Campus Conversations dates will be shared via e-mail.
