As a Coffman Chair, I have collaborated with campus, state, and tribal partners to develop Indigenous-focused 1xbet best casino website and learning resources that foster knowledge about Kansas State’s land grant histories. Particularly, this work highlights the fact that the often-celebrated “grants” from the 1862 Morrill Act rest on the seizure and transfer of Indigenous land. At the center of this project, then, is how we can meet our first-gen land grant responsibilities by 1xbet best casino website this story—how land once held in common by the Kaáⁿze níkashiⁿga (Kanza people), today known as the Kaw Nation, became the location and economic foundation of Kansas State. This presentation will share 1xbet best casino website and learning resources created in relation to the Kansas Land Treaty Project, including two videos, oral histories, and curriculum that highlights the intersections of Indigenous histories and the Kansas State land grant. Together, we’ll discuss how and why we can infuse place-based understandings into our principals and methods of 1xbet best casino website and concretely extend these understandings for use across the state.

Experiential 1xbet best casino website is widely regarded as that experiential 1xbet best casino website can be an effective technique to help engage a variety of students across 1xbet best casino website tendencies. As such, it has been widely applied in a variety of pedagogical settings, here at K-State and elsewhere. What has not kept pace with its implementation has been the assessment of the technique’s effectiveness. While there are many studies that show the students have positive experiences with outside engagement many questions remain regarding how to make experiential 1xbet best casino website as effective as possible. This presentation will share information about the variety of experiential 1xbet best casino website opportunities across campus, the 1xbet best casino website objectives from these various opportunities, and describe plans for a campus-wide set of experiments that will help faculty implement experiential 1xbet best casino website as effectively as possible.

The COVID-19 pandemic was an unprecedented shock to 1xbet best casino website , instructional delivery, and engagement across classrooms at institutions of higher education in the United States. Much research about 1xbet best casino website during the pandemic indicated a reduction or impeded 1xbet best casino website outcomes and instructional quality during the pandemic. Even so, many instructors and teachers rose to the challenge to transition and deliver courses online, develop innovative methods to engage students, and adopt a multitude of hybrid and blended 1xbet best casino website formats over the course of the pandemic. These innovations should not become irrelevant when the pandemic ends but continue to enhance 1xbet best casino website and engage students in the classroom, even with a return to predominately in-person instruction. This presentation will share research about the impact of hybrid and blended 1xbet best casino website on student outcomes, as well as innovative ways to approach redesigning our courses as we transition back to a predominately in-person educational experience. The information provided will help instructors learn how to maintain the innovations and approaches developed and adopted during the pandemic, as well as how to design their courses with online, hybrid and blended course elements moving forward.

Architectural Engineering and Construction Science

Research shows that individuals spend nearly 90% of their time indoors. Since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, we have altered how we think about the environment we occupy. The built environment should not only be safe but it should also contribute favorably to the intended task of the occupant. This presentation will share best practices in design of classrooms to enhance 1xbet best casino website and learning. This content is not only relevant to those physically 1xbet best casino website on campus but also to those engaged in remote delivery because the recommendations may be transferred to one’s home workspace.

Kinesiology

At first-class universities, outstanding 1xbet best casino website and research go hand-in-hand. As the 2019-2020 Coffman Chair, Dr. Poole has evaluated the degree to which the latest research in effective 1xbet best casino website and learning practices inform and benefit K-State students in the classroom and beyond. To this end he has surveyed the efficacy and impact of our instructors after taking the Association of College and University Educators' (ACUE) course. He will identify which practices are producing the best results with K-State students and present evidence supporting that graduates of the ACUE course have improved 1xbet best casino website quality/ efficacy at K-State. Furthermore, Dr. Poole will identify key elements to outstanding teachers and best practices at K-State with direct relevance to maximizing 1xbet best casino website and learning efficacy across colleges and departments in times of Covid-19.

Architecture

The time-honored lecture format, more than any other 1xbet best casino website format, remains the signature pedagogy of so many large introductory courses in so many disciplines just exactly because it has been the most efficient means by which to deliver foundational material. And yet, it has been roundly condemned for 1xbet best casino website students what to learn but not how to learn. Therein lays the rub.

John Fliter

2013-2014
Political Science

Simulations, games, and role-playing exercises involve the creation of simulated or hypothetical scenarios that provide participants with life-like problem solving experiences. These activities promote the application of knowledge, sharpen critical thinking skills, and develop in students a deeper understanding of complex decision making processes. Active 1xbet best casino website assignments also fit nicely into the K-State 2025 plan objectives to enhance the undergraduate 1xbet best casino website experience by providing an engaged, participatory culture of 1xbet best casino website .

To develop a deeper understanding of the science of learning, Rebello has collaborated with faculty across departments and institutions to continue his scholarship of how people learn and how they transfer their learning from one context to another to solve problems. Under the auspices of the campus-wide efforts related to the Year of the Brain, he is co-facilitating a study group to discuss the issue of memory and how it pertains to our learning and 1xbet best casino website . He will continue to participate in ongoing efforts to foster discipline-based educational research and evidence-based 1xbet best casino website at K-State.

Conducting the Scholarship of 1xbet best casino website and Learning (SoTL) is an excellent way for 1xbet best casino website faculty in any discipline to evaluate the effectiveness of their 1xbet best casino website activities on student learning and to elevate their classroom innovations to scholarship. Williams conducted a university-wide survey to assess how SoTL is valued across the various cultures of K-State's Colleges; this effort contributed to understanding of how to motivate wider practice of 1xbet best casino website scholarship across disciplines. She also presented eleven programs to a variety of university and graduate student groups entitled 'How to Implement SoTL in Your Classroom,' which she continues to this day.

This work represents a soil scientist’s reflection (40 years of 1xbet best casino website ) on the connections between 1xbet best casino website and learning and portrays the foundation to my 1xbet best casino website philosophy on how an understanding of 1xbet best casino website and learning processes can increase 1xbet best casino website effectiveness and student learning. From working definitions of 1xbet best casino website and learning, I describe their interaction, not as a duality, but a trinity; three processes linked as one: learning to learn, learning to teach, and 1xbet best casino website to learn. I describe how lifelong learners can be developed through understanding and successfully applying the processes within each segment of the 1xbet best casino website -learning trinity. I offer these comments in hopes they will inspire readers to develop their own journey toward mastering the 1xbet best casino website and learning processes in ways that improve 1xbet best casino website and learning outcomes.
