Just be sure to make sure the sections are clearly indicated.

2015 IPs – Questions Program Form: Please submit this form for all local programs that have been created or revised to reflect the CIRTL Learning Outcomes and incorporate at least 3 of the CIRTL Learning Outcomes. For example, you may have created a brand new program targeted toward the CIRTL Learning Outcomes or you may have expanded an existing program that is aligned with CIRTL to focus on STEM students. New text: Please do not report Cross-Network events organized or hosted by your university, unless you hosted a local version of a particular cross-network event. In that case, report only the number of local participants at that event. (It would be appropriate to report activities such as hosting a local viewing of a a CIRTL-cast, or hosting a MOOC-MCLC) The Cross-Network events are tracked by CIRTL Central. We do not want to require additional reporting on your part and we want to avoid multiple collaborations reporting the same participant numbers for the same event. CIRTL Central will create a summary report of Cross-Network events.

2015 IPs - Questions Program Form: Q32: Please include any additional comments or explanatory notes regarding this program. Summary Form: Q21. Please feel free to add any comments or clarifying remarks. Please feel free to use these final comment fields on the IP forms to tell us anything we need to know.

Breakouts Blackboard will automatically distribute people to breakout rooms. Turn on your video camera when you get into the breakout room. CIRTL Central will move the instruction slide into each breakout room (This may take a moment.) Identify the 2 nd person in the participant list to serve as “reporter” when we return to the main room. Use the google doc for your breakout room to capture notes / ideas. (The link will be on the whiteboard. The links are also available to today’s agenda page.) Return to the main room when the timer rings. (Kitch will bring everyone back about 30 seconds after the timer rings.) When we return to the main room, we will use a round-robin style to gather and discuss questions.

Breakout Instructions When you hear the timer go off, please return to the main room. Kitch will pull everyone back to the main room approximately 30 seconds after the timer rings. Link to notes page: Link to FAQ’s: The 2nd person in the breakout room participant list (excluding the CIRTL Central person) should be prepared to verbally share the questions that your group determines should be included on a FAQ page for potential Network members. Breakout Session Steps 1)Please take a few minutes to review the categories and types of questions on the draft Expansion FAQ page. 2)As a group, generate a list of questions that you would recommend be on an FAQ page for potential members. 3)As a group, identify your high priority questions. 4)As time allows, draft a response to your high priority questions. (This may be a bulleted list of points to mention.)
