What’s the Big IDeA?Jamie Holmes and Amy Lagers, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: SSC-1H9Student success is inherently tied to a quality teaching practice. In an effort to evaluate and strengthen the library instruction program at Tulsa Community College, a group of librarians set out to investigate best practices and recommend a plan. They conducted an extensive literature review, surveyed colleagues at both peer and aspirational institutions, and ultimately created the Instruction Development & Assessment (IDeA) program. IDeA is a comprehensive program that emphasizes collaboration, self-reflection, peer observation with feedback, and small and large group discussion. After conducting a small pilot study in the Spring of 2018, they modified their recommendations based on feedback from three participating librarians and IDeA was approved by the Library Management Team (LMT). The presenters will share their process and findings, emphasizing those that most helped to shape the program they recommended to the LMT, as well as an update on the current state of IDeA and plans for the program moving forward.

9:00-9:50 (cont.) The Benefits of Service-Learning for Community College StudentsDr. Kristen Marangoni, Tulsa Community CollegeDebbie Terlip, Oklahoma State Regents for Higher EducationLocation: SSC-1H6At Tulsa Community College (TCC), faculty want service-learning to help develop the symbiotic partnerships that the institutions envisions with its surround community. At the same time that TCC services the public through volunteer hours (and ultimately a graduate work force), communities are serving TCC’s educational mission by functioning as sites of knowledge and expertise. As students begin to understand this reciprocal relationship, faculty members encourage them to think about the kind of citizen they want to be in that community, be it local, digital, or global. To illustrate, an Assistant Professor of English, Liberal Arts and Communication, who is the Service-Learning Coordinator for the Engaged Learning Division at TCC’s Metro Campus, will briefly present three different TCC service-learning projects that correspond with each of these categories. Care will be taken to choose examples that could easily be transferred to any community college in Oklahoma. After providing basic details of the projects, the presentation will share some of the ways that TCC has used these projects to cultivate classroom and campus wide discussions about citizenship and community.

Virtually every community college in Oklahoma embraces the institutions place in the community and the public good of higher education in its institutional mission. The institutions’ purpose statements drive policies that support curricular and co-curricular community engagement. Research shows that service-learning imparts multiple benefits to the student, all of which impact increased retention and progress-to-degree. These benefits are to make learning relevant and purposeful for real life issues: encourage students to be active in campus and community life; influence career and course of study; develop social responsibility, multicultural understanding, and leadership; and prove effective when integrated into courses, both in major and general education. The Executive Director of Oklahoma Campus Compact will highlight these findings and describe available community-based learning resources and professional development.

Retirement WorkshopRichard Collins, Horizon Financial Services, Inc.Location: SSC-1H7A special information packed breakout session for those considering retirement in the near future. This annual retirement workshop will give you the necessary tools to make informed decisions about your journey to and beyond retirement. By attending you will gain an understanding of your complex options in a clear, concise and interactive format. The choice to retire can be daunting. Come find out why so many Oklahoma Educators have depended on our experience to guide in this process.

9:00-9:50(cont.) Kilowatts to Cash: Converting Wasted Energy to Guaranteed Revenue through Energy Performance Contracting Rob Gutherie, EntegrityLocation: AH-1C5Are you facing failing equipment, increasing maintenance and energy costs, and limited budgets? Would you like to transform the energy waste in your budget into a high performance facility? Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC) is a tool for paying for upgrades through the savings stream over time. ESPC allows public entities to treat contractually guaranteed energy and operational savings as revenue for facility upgrades. With an annual growth of over 13%, the ESPC concept has emerged as a preferred alternative to design-bid-build procurement, with over $7 billion invested by public entities in the U.S. each year. Find out how the ESPC approach allows schools, universities, and state/local governments to fund comprehensive facility improvements on a revenue- neutral basis, simply by re-directing existing and operational waste in their budgets.

Streamline your Catalog Management Process with CourseLeaf Catalog (CAT)Sean Moore, CourseLeaf from LeepFrog TechnologiesJeff Packham, Oklahoma State UniversityLocation: SSC-1H2Seeking to replace a paper-based catalog management process, Oklahoma State University (OSU) adopted CourseLeaf Catalog (CAT) in 2017. Since implementing CAT, OSU has experienced significant savings in time, labor, and resources; increased the accuracy of the catalog; automated the review and approval process; integrated the catalog with their student information system (SIS); and leveraged the catalog as a more valuable resource for students, faculty, and staff. Learn how migrating the catalog online with CourseLeaf CAT has positively impacted the institution in a myriad of ways, from ease of publication to preparedness for accreditation.

Kid’s College at Oklahoma Community CollegesMarcia Shottenkirk, Redlands Community CollegeRick Woodard, Rose State CollegeKristi Carlucci, Oklahoma City Community CollegeLocation: MB-1X3Kid’s College directors from Redlands Community College, Rose State College, and Oklahoma City Community College will discuss the Kid’s College program at their institutions. Areas of discussion include: The program structure How the program has developed/changed over time Lessons learned: what worked/did not work Plans for future sessions

This presentation could be particularly interesting to those faculty or staff thinking of starting a Kid’s College program on their campus, or those who are looking for fresh ideas to add to their current program.

10:00-10:50 Arts, Reading and PE: A Recipe for Science and Technology SuccessWesley Reddish, Murray State CollegeLocation: SSC-1H9Arts are a crucial element of cognitive training in early childhood. Continued arts involvement throughout K-12 education pays educational benefits in all academic fields, but especially in technology and science. Communication skills are vital in a professional setting. Critical reading skills are fundamental to the solution of science and technology curriculum. Kinesthetic knowledge and experience established through games and dance in physical education give students vital insight to motion, cause and effect. All of these programs have suffered losses in a headlong rush to bolster STEM education. Unfortunately, these losses have robbed students of the fundamental experiences and knowledge necessary to success in math, science, and technology.

10:00-10:50 (cont.) Global Collaborative LearningDr. David Goodman, Western Oklahoma State CollegeLocation: SSC-1H1Global collaboration is an excellent tool for learning. Global collaboration engages students, solidifies students’ understanding of their role in a global economy, and results in life-time friendships and global networking. This presentation will examine the what, why, and how of global collaboration. Explore the global collaborative continuum and share useful sites and tools for developing projects and finding global collaborative partners.

WE ARE THE EOSC VILLAGE… for the successful student!Beth Kreutzer and Debbie Walters, Eastern Oklahoma State CollegeLocation: MB-1X3Freshman students (18 to 80 years young) enter their first college classes with apprehension and reservations. As they begin a new chapter in their lives, doubt and frustration can become their instant and constant emotions as they walk from class to class. Our team’s mission (and we DO chose to accept it) is to provide support and strategies for student academic success. This session will discuss the collaboration of our team and the strategies, ideas and resources we provide to our students.

A Pragmatists Guide to the OER UniverseMargaret Cook and Patrick Fariss, Macmillan Learning InstitutionalLocation: SSC-1H2As more and more faculty are looking to move multiple courses from across the curriculum into OER, they are faced with some very real barriers. Many of the courses do not have a prebuilt OER textbook. When looking for content, where do you start? How do you know what the digital rights are or if the content is ADA compliant? There are new tools and technologies to help the novice to the expert navigate the OER universe.

10:00-10:50 (cont.) Integrating Unmanned Aircraft Systems into Engineering and Technology CurriculaSteven Fowler, Dr. Jiyoon Lee and Dr. Wayne Jones, Rose State CollegeLocation: AH-1C5Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are becoming more and more important throughout multiple industries which impact Oklahoma including agriculture, energy production, and weather monitoring. The utilization of UAS or Drones as they are commonly known, in commercial applications is expected to maintain growth for the foreseeable future. With the growth of UAS in mind, the Engineering and Science Division at Rose State College has undertaken an ambitious collaborative effort with the University of Oklahoma’s Aerospace Engineering Program. The goal of this effort is to expose Engineering and Technology students to usage, maintenance, and the theory associated with UAS and potential UAS applications. Additionally the transition process for Rose State students entering the Aerospace Engineering program at the University of Oklahoma will be improved. Finally, materials and programs are being developed through this effort to increase enthusiasm in middle and high school students for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math through the use of UAS. This effort is still in the implementation phase, but us has received funding through the National Science Foundation. The presenters will provide an overview of this effort, current progress, and future plans. The presenters will also share opportunities realized from this effort which include equipment funding, project based learning for students, and faculty development via exposure to current technology.

Energy Savings Performance Contracting as a Legislative Financial Instrument to Secure Capital Improvements through Guaranteed Energy SavingsTed Edgar and Bill Sixta, Energy Services Group (ESG)Location: SSC-1H6 Major points of discussion:

A proven method to make capital improvements to a facility and pay for all costs, including financing, with the resulting energy and operational savings.

Oklahoma legislation: Title 62-318. Performance-based efficiency contracts. Requires guaranteed savings to offset project costs over a financing term of up to 20 years.

Qualified Providers. What is an ESCO? NAESCO accreditation. Supplementing the OCIA and ODFA with other financing programs, notably tax-exempt lease-

purchase agreements. Energy Savings Guarantees: International protocol IPMVP methodologies.

Entrepreneur Readiness and MindsetDavid LeCount, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: AH-1D4Entrepreneur Readiness and Mindset can come in many forms with various measurements. Based on personal experience as an entrepreneur, there are three must haves every entrepreneur should have before walking down the path of entrepreneurship. Those three must include: domain skill, market and passion.

As it turns out the word passion becomes much more than a word. It is an acronym. An acronym that research has shown provides seven areas or predictors for increased chance of survival as an entrepreneur. Those seven areas are:

(P)revious Business Experience (A)cceptance in the Market or Success of Business (S)kill or Domain Experience (S)chooling or Educational Background (I)ncubator Experience (O)ownership (N)ew or Innovative Idea

All things equal an entrepreneur can increase his/her chances for success in the marketplace and sustainability by having one or more or a combination of these attributes in his/her tool belt.

11:00-11:50 Lessons Learned in Preparing for HLC Accreditation VisitDr. Janet Wansick, Connors State CollegeDr. Bethene Fahnestock, Northeastern Oklahoma A&MDr. Pamela Stinson, Northern Oklahoma CollegePaula Settoon, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: MB-1X3This panel will present lessons learned while preparing for an accreditation visit from the Higher Learning Commission (HLC). Three academic officers will present things that worked and things they would do differently from their experiences on three different community colleges. Feedback from the audience will help to provide a rich discussion of the accreditation process and ways to conduct a successful visit.

Dual Credit: Opportunities and ObstaclesMelissa Steadley and Mary Cantrell, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: AH-1C5This panel is targeted toward community faculty and administrators who want to implement or expand their dual credit programs. Based on their experiences, the panelists will share strategies for creating higher education opportunities for high school students as well as some of the challenges colleges might face when offering dual credit classes. Tulsa Community College serves approximately 2,000 high school juniors and seniors in northeastern Oklahoma and awards approximately 20,000 college credit hours per academic year. As the largest provider of dual credit in the state and as a member the National Alliance for Concurrent Enrollment Programs (NACEP), TCC has developed multiple delivery models, procedures, and processes that support faculty, ensure equal access for students, and support both rural and urban high school districts partners.

Standards Based Grading for STEM-Track Students: A Non-Traditional, Mastery-Based Assessment ApproachSasha Townsend, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: SSC-1H7For five semesters, I have used a nontraditional, mastery-based assessment approach called standards based grading (SBG) to encourage learning, assess my students’ understanding, and enhance student motivation and accountability. Instead of using a percentage-based system, grades are determined by how well the student displays a mastery of mathematical concepts and techniques called standards. There are approximately 30 standards in each course, assessed in eight to ten quizzes throughout the semester. Students are assigned grades for each standard on the quiz, and have the opportunity to improve their grades on the standard through a new, more comprehensive reassessment quiz. I have used this grading system in Calculus I, II, and III, and Elementary Differential Equations at Tulsa Community College and in Pre-calculus at the University of Tulsa. SBG clearly articulates the expectations we have of students, focuses student and instructor attention on the material the students need to study to improve their conceptual understanding and procedural fluency, and holds students accountable for both their understanding and their final grades in the course. My presentation will discuss SBG, the benefits and challenges of the grading system, and my experiences in implementing the method with different populations of students (STEM vs. Non-STEM majors, TCC students vs. TU Students). While there are both logistical and buy-in challenges to implementing this system, student outcomes and understanding have made me a firm believer in the efficacy and fairness of this approach.

7 Habits of a More Accessible WebRob Carr, Oklahoma ABLE Tech Oklahoma State UniversityLocation: AH-1D4 You can help to create a barrier free web! When you leave this session, you will know how to remove 7 of the most common, and easiest to avoid, barriers to web access. We will discuss how proper section and subsection headings, bulleted and numbered lists, text equivalents for visuals, tables, use of color, color contrast and proper link formatting can help make any web content more accessible. Feel free to bring your own device if you’re running MS Word or using a content management system! The session will include demonstration and description of how to use tools already built into Microsoft Word and one of the common web content editors to remove these 7 barriers. Leave knowing how to make your own slice of the web more accessible, without feeling like someone opened up the accessibility fire hose.

11:00-11:50 (cont.) Tips and Tricks for Global Studies Success at Rural Community CollegesBrad Schatzel and Kendall Rogers, Seminole State CollegeLocation: SSC-1H1China, Costa Rica, London, New York, Italy, Amsterdam, France, Ireland, Scotland, and that is just in the past five years! Seminole State College has produced annual study tours for the past three decades. A recent revitalization of the Global Studies Program has increased awareness and participation resulting in multiple unique faculty led study tours every year since 2014, impressive given an average enrollment of about 1,700 students. A clear and concise application and approval process makes it easy for any faculty member to organize a study tour. The Global Studies committee confirms this process is followed and ensures the success of all approved trips by preventing redundant destinations, themes, and dates. Additionally, the committee promotes approved study tours on campus and through social media.

While seeing the world SSC students always earn credit hours towards graduation because each trip is linked to an academic course, for example Global Studies in International Business. Obviously the benefits of study abroad extend beyond earning credit hours for attending an exciting trip. Students who study abroad are 19% more likely to graduate* and after graduation participants experience increased hire ability, higher starting salaries, and higher acceptance rates to graduate school**.

This presentation will have two themes:1. How instructors, students, and the Global Studies Committee work together to produce study tours

that are safe, popular, and educational.2. Tips and tricks (with plenty of photos) for successful study tours we’ve picked up through three

decades of experience.

11:00-11:50 (cont.) Communication in the LMS: Giving Institutional Committees an Online PlatformDr. Makenna Green, Oklahoma City Community CollegeLocation: SSC-1H3Effective communication among institutional committees can sometimes become challenging as committee members send multiple drafts of documents back and forth to individuals, often creating long and confusing email threads. To address this issue of communication, Oklahoma City Community College has turned to the campus’s learning management system as a way of streamlining communication and providing updated information as easily and quickly as possible for faculty and staff to access. For institutional committees related to curriculum and program assessment, OCCC has created specific courses using the learning management system. Each group has its own course page with agendas, minutes, and committee guidelines. This presentation will provide an overview of each course and discuss how the platform creates a central hub for information that can be easily stored and managed. The presentation will also discuss how these courses streamline communication pathways, utilize the capabilities of the learning management system efficiently, and provide assessment information that can be easily accessed for reporting and accreditation purposes. OCCC will present information about the layout and design of the courses, while also giving background information about the reasons behind creating specific courses. OCCC will highlight the many benefits of using the learning management system as a new approach to meaningful interaction that engages members in dynamic and important conversations about assessment and programs.

Creating and Implementing a Comprehensive Academic Library Assessment PlanBob Holzmann, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: SSC-1H9The Tulsa Community College (TCC) Library created a comprehensive assessment plan covering library services and programs. In a data-informed world, assessment in education is a big deal, important for both accreditation and proving value. In 2017, TCC’s Dean of Libraries and Knowledge Management assigned a team of librarians and staff to create an assessment plan for all libraries services and programs, with no other directives or expectations other than a deadline. The door was wide open for the team to determine how best to approach, define, and fulfill the assignment. How does the academic library contribute to the college’s strategic plans? Do library services impact student success? We created our agenda, defined assessment, and determined how to proceed. A formal Project Charter was created and approved, working meetings ensued, along with a great deal of research, sharing, and brainstorming. Ranging from updating existing areas of traditional data collection, surveys, and reporting to implementing leading-edge research methods from studies showing correlation and impact upon student success, the big plan was not only developed but many facets of change and date collection were approved and implemented along the way. Come and hear about our energizing story, the comprehensive assessment plan that our fabulous team created, and how we are actively implementing the plan.

Thinking outside the Final Exam BlockDr. Heather Wilburn, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: SSC-1H2This past semester my medical ethics class participated in a project designed to fulfill the “comprehensive” elements of our final exam. The project was set up like a committee where a group of ethicists were brought in to rank individuals in need of medical treatment. In the days leading up to the event, students’ preparation included a thorough review of all major ethical theories we covered during the semester. At the beginning of our meeting, students randomly drew a theory and were given the scenario and a description of six patients, which included age, dependents, community service, religion, and career. Students had 15 minutes to review the scenario and get into the mindset of their specific theory. Students then gathered at a table and debated, questioned, criticized, and ranked the patients while I observed.

This role-playing project allows students the opportunity to put theories into action and to gain a sense of how such theories play out in real-life moral dilemmas. Students also submit a meta-cognitive written component within 24-48 hours after the project meeting. This allows students the opportunity to express their thoughts leaving the meeting and compel them to continue thinking about the process.

The goal of my proposed presentation will be two-fold: 1) To share this project with other educators and discuss ways to create similar projects for other disciplines; and 2) To reinforce how projects like this foster deeper learning by stimulating students with critical discussion, practical application, and a meta-cognitive reflection on their own thinking.

2:30-3:20 Strategies to Motivate At-Risk StudentsDr. Gregory Parks, Oklahoma City Community CollegeLocation: SSC-1H1 Despite available tools, resources, and faculty effort to help them succeed, many students do not engage in the behaviors necessary to support their own success (i.e., attendance, study, assignments, time management). Those who could benefit most from intervention to develop skills do not utilize the service when referred. It is perplexing and frustrating to encounter students who fall short of their potential because they are reluctant to take basic steps towards change.

Motivational Interviewing (Miller & Rollnick, 1991, 2002, 2013) is a collaborative conversation to strengthen a person’s own motivation for and commitment to change. Hundreds of clinical trials have demonstrated its efficacy across a broad range of populations and target behaviors. It offers a practical, evidence-based approach for supporting individuals in making and sustaining positive behavior change. For decades, Motivational Interviewing (MI) has been used with great success in human services, healthcare, and criminal justice settings. It is now being used to facilitate more productive conversations with students in primary, secondary and higher education. By applying this technique with at-risk students, we can increase commitment to change, resulting in greater student success. It can be a valuable tool for faculty, academic advisors, and student support services.

Build a Big Campaign for A Big Strategic Plan: How TCC Launched a Fundraising Campaign that Paved the Way for its Pathway StrategiesDr. Leigh Goodson and Lauren Brookey, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: SSC-1H2Tulsa Community College began a comprehensive strategic planning process on the arrival of its new President Leigh Goodson, Ph.D. in 2014. From that plan came a number of significant goals that seemed untenable in the challenging financial times faced by common and higher education in Oklahoma. TCC chose to take its completion goals to the community with its first multi- year private fundraising campaign resulting in significant support for key initiatives including operating funds to support the hiring of more than 22 academic advisors. The $20 million campaign called Clearing the Pathway: The Case for Completion is 75 percent toward goal and number of operational strategies are already in place. This presentation will cover the jump for small campaign to large campaigns, how to build support for private funds to support operational costs, and key steps taken to launch the campaign successfully.

How Co-Requisite Has Worked for Us (College Algebra)Margaret Sorrell, Philip Hawthorne and Kathy Howe, Eastern Oklahoma State CollegeLocation: MB-1X3In the fall of 2017, Eastern Oklahoma State College began offering co-requisite remediation in College Algebra and English.

2:30-3:20 (cont.) Creating a Knowledge Sharing Community: The Use and Expansion of KM at Tulsa Community CollegeAndy Taylor and Elizabeth Szkirpan, Tulsa Community CollegeLocation: AH-1C5Tulsa Community College has been working diligently for the past two years to increase efficiency and transparency in the way that it disseminates organizational information and knowledge to the employees of the College. In order to move this endeavor forward, the College added knowledge management as a responsibility of the Dean of Libraries and created a Knowledge Management Librarian position. The people in these positions promoted the use of SharePoint as an organizational tool that could be used to disseminate information and knowledge to all employees of the College. The College had reorganized all of the councils and committees into a streamlined structure, and this was supported by the creation of a Council and Committee SharePoint site at the College that allowed for the posting of meeting minutes, agendas, membership lists, procedures, and documents. Additionally, a new tool, the TCC Collaborative Workspace, has been implemented that allows employees from across the College to work collaboratively on projects through SharePoint.

What will be presented here is the path that Tulsa Community College took to not only build the use Knowledge Management across the College, but also the support structure created in order to foster a knowledge sharing community.
