This faculty learning community is part of the University’s goals to become a demonstrable
center of excellence in educational quality and student learning (Strategic Goal 1).
The learning community is one means to support the emphasis on quality performance
by faculty, staff, and administration that demonstrably improves student learning
(Strategic Initiative 4, Goal 1).
Your experience in this faculty learning community will be built around the Quality
Matters Rubric, "a set of 8 general standards used to evaluate the design of online
and blended courses. Unique to the Quality Matters Rubric is the concept of alignment.
This occurs when critical course components - Learning Objectives, Assessment and
Measurement, Instructional Materials, Learner Interaction and Engagement, and Course
Technology - work together to ensure students achieve desired learning outcomes."
Please RSVP to fctl@ferris.edu or call ext. 3826.
Dates and times:Wednesdays on May 23, 30; June 6, 13, 20, and 27 from 4:00 – 6:00 PM in FLITE 110

Naked Presenter Facilitated by: Brooke Moore Please join us for a workshop this Spring based on a 2nd book from Garr Reynolds called
The Naked Presenter. You may remember Reynolds as the author of PresentationZen.
While Zen focused on the visuals aspects of presentation, The Naked Presenter focuses
on the other dimension of presentation – the public speaking dimension. In this workshop,
participants will have an opportunity to reexamine their public speaking skills through
the use of the principles in The Naked Presenter: Preparation, Purpose, Power, Punch,
Presence, Projection, Passion, Proximity, Play, Pace, Participation and Persistence.
The focus will not only be for the classroom but beyond, such as, keynote addresses,
and conferences or meeting presentations. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to take a “naked” look at your presentation skills. Space will be limited to the first 15 participants. To register, please contact us at fctl@ferris.edu or call 231-591-3826. |
We invite you to join us for the 2012-2013 Welcome Back Week to renew, strengthen, and build new connections with your colleagues and the work of the Division of Academic Affairs. The excitement starts on Monday, August 20, 2012, so save the date! More details will be released shortly. If you have questions, please contact us at fctl@ferris.edu or call 231-591-3826.
