Today’s Tip

Turn a Canceled Conference into a Networking Opportunity

You may be missing the lack of networking opportunities at the moment, but there are still ways you can build your professional network while working from home. Here’s a counterintuitive tip: Use canceled conferences as a way to meet people. If there was a particular event you were looking forward to, identify participants who were supposed to attend or speak. (If you don’t have the list, you can often email conference organizers and ask for it.) Choose a handful of people that you’d like to connect with, and find something you have in common that might make them interested in meeting you. For instance, maybe you’re both involved in robotics research, or maybe you’re alumni of the same university. Email them or send a LinkedIn message saying something like: “I had been hoping to meet you at [conference name], and I thought it might be interesting to chat because we [share the same interest]. I figured I’d reach out virtually instead. Let me know if you’d like to meet for a coffee over Zoom.” You won’t get a reply from everyone you contact, but you might get a few responses that could lead to valuable connections.

Today’s Tip

Set Clear Boundaries When Working From Home

Balancing work and family has never been easy, but the global pandemic has led to a whole new set of challenges. If you’re struggling to be productive, consider setting boundaries for yourself and your kids. For example, you can make it clear to your family when you’re on and off the clock, trying to stay out of your office area during your “home” time. If something urgent comes up (and it will), be transparent with your family about why you’re putting in the extra hours and apologize. You don’t want your kids thinking that you’re choosing work over them. To avoid interruptions, consider posting signs by your work area. A red sign might mean you can only be interrupted if there’s an emergency. Yellow could signal that a brief interruption is okay if it’s urgent. And green says that they can come in and maybe work alongside you quietly, but not distract you. Having clear boundaries can make the impossible circumstances that many parents are working under a little bit more manageable.

Online Engagement Through 'Making Cool Stuff'

Sometimes in teaching you have the right idea but — at first — the wrong way to go about it. That’s what happened to Vadim Keyser, an assistant professor of philosophy at California State University at Fresno.

Several years ago, Keyser was teaching an upper-division philosophy-of-science course, and wrestling with the idea of engagement in online courses. Specifically, how could he help his students, who were both science and nonscience majors, better understand the complex concepts he was teaching?

At first, says Keyser, who was then working at Cal State at Sacramento, he thought the best way might be to use his background in art and animation to create catchy videos: some animated, some in the clever style of Bill Nye. So, with the help of a grant, he created an experiment that he could run in different sections of his course.

But when test scores came back from his 200 or so students, he didn’t see any difference between those who had been given his creative tools and those who hadn't. That was puzzling to Keyser, who had been sure that “making cool stuff” was the way to better understand tricky scientific concepts.

Around the same time, he was also teaching a course in the honors college, on civic engagement and service learning. Those students worked on a large sculpture project for the community. It was “massively exciting” to the students, recalls Keyser.

After that first failed experiment, in 2013-14, and with the honors-college experience under his belt, Keyser had a small epiphany: Maybe his students, not he, should be the ones making things.

So he tried the experiment again, in 2015. Except this time, he asked students to work in groups and make something that visualized a concept they were learning. It could be a film, a conference presentation, or a graphic novel. It didn’t need to be sophisticated or high-tech. What mattered, he says, is that they worked together to analyze scientific information and visually represent it in a way that demonstrated their understanding.

When he tested his students, the scores among those who had created videos and visualizations were about 25 percent higher than those who had done traditional note-taking summaries. While it was a small experiment and a single test, Keyser says, it changed how he engages students in an online course.

“My initial thinking was that engagement was about exposure to information,” he says. “Then it changed to engagement is about teaching students how to navigate information.”

Keyser is now working with another grant to continue exploring the idea of engagement through technology, teaming up with other professors on a service-learning project that will incorporate, he says, applied science, visualization, and community service. The details are still being worked out for the fall, but he hopes that students in this online course can create virtual solutions to some community problems, generating the kind of excitement he saw among his philosophy-of-science students and in his earlier service-learning course.

Now that so many courses have shifted online, Keyser says he’s been encouraging other professors to think about student engagement in different ways. In online learning, he says, instructors sometimes fall into the trap of thinking that more is better: more TED talks, more videos, and so on. “We think, OK, this is good, you’re hitting information at all angles,” he says. “But in reality, their attention becomes overwhelmed.” That’s particularly important now, he notes, when students are already feeling overloaded, as they grapple with the pandemic and political protests.

Have you designed assignments in which you ask your students to come up with creative ways to explain the concepts they have learned in your course, and do you plan to continue those assignments in an online environment? If so, write to me, at beth.mcmurtrie@chronicle.com, and your story may appear in a future newsletter.
