September 14th || 1:00-2:00 || CL123 || Eric Belt || **New Turnitin LTI Integration Workshop #4036** This hands-on training session is designed for users who want a simple overview of the new Turnitin LTI integration in Canvas. This workshop will review the new process of creating a Turnitin assignment, the student view/process when submitting a Turnitin assignment, and the new Turnitin Feedback Studio. The older Turnitin integration is known as the API integration or the Legacy integration. Currently, Turnitin has promised support for this older method until December 2016. ||  || IDEA course evaluations should connect to instruction and IDEA feedback is an opportunity to take action to refine or strengthen your course. We will examine each element of the IDEA evaluation form; see how scores are determined, and learn strategies to apply what you learn from your IDEA. ||  || Cognitive experts report that students remember 5% of the content they hear. With lecture as the most common college instructional practice, learn ways to amplify its impact. Come explore best practices for changing the student’s passive participation to engaged listening and disciplined learning. ||  || Cognitive experts report that students remember 5% of the content they hear.

Currently, use of the word drone can conjure negative connotations concerning modern warfare, surveillance and other less palatable applications. Whilst we welcome a new era where UAVs are increasingly adopted for civil or commercial benefit, some of the fundamental issues facing safe operation of these vehicles must be addressed. One such issue is the impact of turbulence and how we can mitigate the effect it will have on vehicle performance. ||  || Smartphones can be a help or a hindrance to learning and classroom management.

In this session we will unpack the research process into several specific skills and share ideas for ways to model and scaffold these skills for students. We will also being collecting resources (guides, templates, videos, etc.) that may be useful to students trying to develop their research skills. ||  || Center for Responsive Politics, OpenSecrets.org || **The Role of Money in the 2016 Election #3600** Learn how Super PACs and dark money are playing an important role in the political process, influencing elections without reporting where the money originated.

Almost none of the life history strategies of honey bees are found in our native species (no honey, no colonies, no hives, stings, waggle dances, wax, etc.). Our native species are as diverse in their morphologies as the native plants they pollinate. Many are specialists, going to one species or genus of plant for pollen. Such diversity means that tackling the problem of "bee decline" is not as simple as planting the standard wildflower mixes. We will illustrate the problem and potential solutions using detailed pictures of bees taken with new photography techniques. ||  || This hands-on training session is designed for users who want a simple overview of the new Turnitin LTI integration in Canvas.
