These are the slides from the talk I gave on 10/18/12 at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia. There is also a sample video I showed them from my flipped stats class.
Leveraging Technology for Int'l Partnerships & Student Engagement
1. Leveraging the Power of Technology
for University Partnerships and
Student Engagement
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell
The Ohio State University

4. Overview
O Partnership and goals
O Examples of using technology for:
O Collaborating, sharing and connecting
O Enhancing student engagement/active
learning
O Brainstorming and sharing of ideas (time
permitting)
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell |stuckey-
5. Partnership & Selected Goals
Research supervision;
joint research; faculty
& student exchange;
technology
Faculty & student exchange; Student/staff collaboration;
service learning projects; service learning; program
joint research endeavors evaluation; technology
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
6. What about technology?
Problem Technology?? PLAN
TEHNOLOGY SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT--
IT SHOULD NOT DETRACT FROM STUDENT
LEARNING OR FROM OUR OTHER WORK!!
What are the technology-related goals of each
partner?
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
7. Technology Examples…
TO KEEP IN MIND:
These are possibilities that
require a sufficiently fortified
technology infrastructure to
support them!
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
9. Collaborating, Sharing
& Connecting
O Connecting people: Meetings, cross-college and
intra-college student mentoring; cross-cultural
teaching/writing; connecting students while doing
field experiences; using social media to build and
maintain relationships
O Access of information and resources:
Students, faculty, and staff go to an online resource
area to retrieve information (PULL)
O Dissemination of information and resources:
Students, faculty, and staff disseminate resources
and project outcomes to University community and
partners (PUSH)
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
10. Sample Tools and Uses
O Schoology – free/low cost learning management system; provide
course materials, interactions, small group work (pushing and pulling
info); would make a great tool for working with students doing
fieldwork in schools
O Web-conferencing – Skype, Anymeeting.com, Adobe
Connect, Elluminate for live online meetings
O EdModo – educator/student only social networking (similar to
Facebook; great for staying connected)
O TeacherTube – education-focused video (similar to YouTube; great for
pushing info)
O LinkedIn – professional social networking (great for staying
connected)
O Twitter – microblogging; great for announcements (great for pushing
info)
O Blogger – blogging; great for student reflection/writing activities (great
for pushing info)

21. Enhancing Student Engagement
& Active Learning
Illustrative example:
The Saga of the Intro Stats Course
O Traditional, lecture-based approach
O Practice problems assigned for homework
O Many anxious students
O More anxiety = less learning!
O Unhappy teacher
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
22. The Solution…
O The “Flipped” classroom (Bergmann &
Sams, 2012)
O The “inverted” classroom (Lage &
Platt, 2000)
Lecture AT HOME
“Homework” IN CLASS
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
23. Lecture & Practice Materials
O Video lecture (usu. 3-5 segments; 7-8 mins)
O EX: “Testing Research Questions - Part 1”
O PPT images and lecture script
O Self-study Activity
O 5-10 recall questions on lecture content
O Practice Activities
O Conceptual and application problems on content
O Discussion area for posting questions during lecture
O Access via Learning Management System - “Carmen”
(Desire2Learn is the vendor)

29. Can you guess what
happens at home?
O Students watch the videos!!
O As many times as they like
O At their own pace
O They can discuss with a study group
O They read along using the scripts
O They answer the self-study questions
O The students read, watch, process!
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
30. Can you guess what
happens in class?
O Students work on deepening
understanding and applying knowledge!
O Collaboratively WITH peers
O In a supportive environment
O With the teacher to provide just-in-time
instruction and answer questions
O The teacher spends more time with
students! The students practice and learn!
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
31. Summary…
TEHNOLOGY SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT--IT SHOULD
NOT DETRACT FROM STUDENT LEARNING OR FROM
OUR OTHER WORK!!
So many possibilities when there is a
sufficiently fortified technology infrastructure
to support them!
With our partnership, we could determine:
Problem Technology?? PLAN
Prof. Tracey A. Stuckey-Mickell | stuckey-
32. We want YOUR ideas!!
List two ideas or initiatives for
our future partnership.
Discuss with a partner and write
your ideas on the slip of paper
