SUMMARY:Being Human While Teaching Humans: Designing Learning with Care\, Purpose\, and High Expectations
DESCRIPTION:Teaching is about more than delivering content—it’s about connecting with students\, creating meaningful learning experiences\, and helping every learner succeed. But how do you communicate care while maintaining high expectations? How do you build connection in an age of AI? And what does it really mean to be human while teaching humans? \nJoin Dr. Ericka Hollis\, Senior Academic Director at ACUE\, for a lively conversation with Dr. Jason Johnston and Dr. Bob DuBois as they share stories\, practical strategies\, and lessons learned from years of teaching and working with faculty. \nTogether\, we’ll explore how intentional course design\, authentic instructor presence\, and evidence-based teaching practices can foster belonging\, encourage engagement\, and create learning experiences that are both rigorous and deeply human. \nWhether you’re preparing for your next semseter or simply looking for fresh ideas\, you’ll leave with practical takeaways\, a few new perspectives\, and maybe even a story or two you’ll carry into your own classroom. \n\nAbout Dr. Bob DuBois: Dr. Bob DuBois is a teaching professor and associate director of undergraduate studies in Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. He has taught psychology for more than 20 years and holds a PhD in educational psychology and master’s degrees in industrial-organizational and counseling psychology. His earlier work includes human factors research\, human resources\, organizational consulting\, and counseling. An award-winning teacher and mentor\, Bob frequently speaks on student success\, lifelong learning\, inclusive course design\, and helping instructors become learning facilitators. He is also a Quality Matters Master Reviewer. His interests include music\, positive psychology\, mental health advocacy\, and exploring how people can learn\, work\, and live well. \nAbout Jason Johnston: Jason Johnston\, PhD\, is the Executive Director of Online Learning & Course Production in Digital Learning at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, where he leads professional and course development for online programs. Jason’s research\, writing\, and presentations aim to encourage ethics\, humanity\, and equity as part of successful online learning development and technology integration. Jason earned a Master of Divinity\, a Master of Education in Educational Technology\, and a PhD in Education (Educational Leadership) with a focus on online program leadership. Jason also co-hosts a podcast focused on online learning in the second half: www.onlinelearningpodcast.com .

SUMMARY:Balancing Career Skills with Everything Else We Teach
DESCRIPTION:Higher education is facing growing pressure to demonstrate career outcomes\, including recent state legislation tying program viability to job placement. That pressure creates a real tension: how do we meet these demands without losing sight of learning for its own sake? \nFaculty often design assignments with real transferable skills in mind\, critical thinking\, information literacy\, professional communication\, but rarely make those connections explicit to students. This session examines how to close that gap by using strategies to build career-relevant skills into both content-focused assignments and dedicated professional development time\, at both low- and high-stakes levels\, while keeping this work in balance with everything else we’re already teaching. \nConcrete scenarios and examples will be shared before breaking into small groups to discuss and brainstorm their own approaches to bringing career readiness into their courses in ways that might not be top of mind. We’ll close by bringing those ideas back together as a full group. \nAbout the Speaker: Andrea Krieg\, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor of Criminal Justice at Elmhurst University\, where she teaches courses including Juvenile Delinquency and the Justice System\, Gender and Crime\, Social and Criminal Justice Policy\, and Senior Capstone. Her research and teaching center on social inequality and pedagogy\, including recent work on criminal justice programmatic learning outcomes\, capstone course design\, and AI integration in the classroom. Dr. Krieg is an ACUE Teaching Practitioner\, Commons Fellow\, and holds an ACUE Certificate in Effective Teaching Practices as well as Fostering a Culture of Belonging. She is active in the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences\, where she serves as Executive Counselor for the Teaching and Learning Section and a member of the Assessment Committee\, and she regularly presents on teaching innovation and career readiness in criminal justice education.

SUMMARY:Between the Lines\, featuring Bridget Arend\, author of "Facilitating Seven Ways of Learning"
DESCRIPTION:As teaching continues to evolve\, faculty are faced with an ever-growing array of instructional approaches\, technologies\, and student needs. With so many options available\, how can educators make intentional choices that support meaningful learning while making teaching more effective—and more enjoyable? \nJoin Bridget Arend\, author of Facilitating Seven Ways of Learning: A Resource for More Purposeful\, Effective\, and Enjoyable College Teaching\, for a conversation about the research\, principles\, and practical strategies that help instructors align their teaching methods with their learning goals. Drawing on decades of learning science and classroom experience\, Bridget offers a framework for understanding how students learn and how faculty can create learning experiences that foster deeper engagement and stronger outcomes. \nIn discussion with Penny MacCormack\, ACUE’s Founding Chief Academic Officer\, Bridget will explore the seven evidence-based approaches featured in her book and discuss how they can be applied across disciplines\, teaching modalities\, and institutional contexts. Together\, they will examine what effective teaching looks like in today’s higher education landscape and how faculty can navigate competing demands with greater clarity and confidence. \nWhether you’re redesigning a course\, exploring new teaching approaches\, or seeking fresh inspiration for your practice\, this conversation will provide practical insights grounded in both research and experience.
