Over the course of the next several weeks, we will be profiling a prominent member of the Teaching & Learning Center Staff. This week Keedra Smith, an Academic Technology Consultant for the TLC, took time out of her busy schedule to answer a couple of questions.
TLC: Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Keedra Smith: I was born and raised here in Memphis, TN. I attended Hamilton High School, home of the Mighty Wildcats. After graduating from high school, I attended Middle Tennessee State University where I received my Bachelors degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Information Systems.
I am very family oriented and my family and I are very close. I am the proud mother of a 7 year old son, whom I adore. He has the key to my heart.

These monthly sessions are aimed at providing faculty with knowledge about all aspects of educational simulation implementation. Faculty will provide an overview of an actual simulation implemented in the UTHSC Sim Center, discuss best practices in simulation education and provide simulation resources for faculty. By attending these sessions, Faculty participants will be able to 1) identify best practices in simulation pedagogy; 2) acquire knowledge of current UTHSC sim activities and 3) network with colleagues for potential inter-professional simulation activities.
Lunch will be provided.

Presenter: Dr. Julie Schell (Director of OnRamps and Strategic Initiatives & Clinical Assistant Professor in the College of Education at the University of Texas Austin)
Overview:
Instructors all over the globe are turning their students’ worlds around by flipping their classrooms. In a flipped class, teachers move information coverage out of the lecture hall so that they can better leverage in-class time to address student difficulties and misconceptions. In this interactive session, Dr. Julie Schell will flip the webinar by providing brief introductory, pre-workshop activities to participants. She will use responses from these activities in the workshop and discuss the three basic steps for effectively flipping any classroom. Throughout the presentation, participants will confront and resolve a series of common myths about flipped teaching.

Presenter: Deb Adair (Executive Director – Quality Matters)
Session Overview:
QM is an organization that takes a hard look at the quality of online and blended learning courses and programs and seeks to support faculty and institutions in continually improving student learning outcomes. We look back in reliance on the research literature to help us understand what has been working and why. We look ahead at the innovations in the field to understand what quality might look like as we build towards the future. In the middle, in the boundary spanning role we play, we see the heart of higher education, our educators, ready to move forward but wary of the process. Is the benefit of change worth the cost to achieve it? What is the urgency, anyway? How do we move forward in teaching with technology, in all formats, in a way that maximizes the affordances of technology while respecting the gold standard of faculty-student engagement?
