Dear Open SUNY Fellow:

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Open SUNY Center for Online Teaching Excellence (COTE) Community "Fellow Chats" for fall.

The Fellow Chat speaker series is a signature event produced by The Open SUNY Center for Online Teaching Excellence (COTE) for Open SUNY Fellows in the COTE Community of Practice. Open SUNY Fellows have committed to sharing their knowledge for the benefit of all members of the Community. Each Fellow Chat features original work, effective practices, research, and innovations of Open SUNY Fellows.

Fellow Chats require registration, but are open to all free of charge, so please share this invitation broadly with anyone you feel may be interested. If you are unable to join the live presentation, each program in the series will be recorded.

If you are interested in sharing what you know with the COTE Community of Practice, we encourage you to submit a proposal!

Title: Reporting on Assessment: A Presentation On The Development and Implementation of an Enterprise Assessment Service; UB's Online Annual Academic Program Assessment
Presenter: Thomas Slomka - University at Buffalo
Date: September 23, 2015
Time: Noon - 1:00 pm
Overview: This presentation covers the development and implementation of the University at Buffalo's Annual Academic Program Assessment; a web application designed to help programs provide assessment reports, program assessment coordinators to share best practices and resources, faculty and staff to compare assessment efforts and administration to track and report on program learning outcomes and assessment based program planning. Attendees will learn about the development of the application, its features, and goals for its use.

Title: Give PIE a Try: An introduction to instructional design models
Presenter: Christine Leake - Empire State College
Date: October 14, 2015
Time: Noon - 1:00 pm
Overview: This "chat" will provide an overview of the instructional design process using instructional design models (PIE will be featured). While this sounds like a mouthful, having knowledge of one easy- to- use model can greatly impact a decision to engage in distance learning as well as how that decision translates into quality learning. In this field, we know the models and that the "Front End" can be time consuming; thus, impacting "adopter" interest in taking on the "flipping" process. If an institution does not subscribe to any one particular instructional design model: Give PIE a Try!

Title: Collaboration in a Virtual Learning Environment for Nursing Simulation
Presenter: Tara Zacharzuk-Marciano - Ulster County Community College
Date: November 18, 2015
Time: Noon - 1:00 pm
Overview: Second Life learning experiences in nursing curriculum will provide another avenue for educators to engage students in the practice and development of clinical reasoning skills beyond the traditional clinical setting. With the ever dwindling number of available clinical sites, simulation that features real-life experiences is a significant feature of Second Life that permits learning in a safe, controlled environment.

Title: Designing an Optimal Online Learning Experience Meeting the Needs of All Students
Presenter: Russell Khan - SUNY Poly Tech
Date: December 8, 2015
Time: Noon - 1:00 pm
Overview: This chat will apply best practices in teaching and participants will develop a course outline and use Web-based tools to create a rich learning space. The talk applies cognitive learning theory.
