Boesch\, Zemmer \, & Kenyon\nDiscusses the use of mobile technology in the classroom\, whi ch allows faculty to untether themselves from the podium and provides an a venue for creating a more engaging course. The roundtable includes an over view of pedagogical benefits\, video-clips sharing authentic learning expe riences\, and demonstration of using this technology\nHelp! Teaching Pract ices that Enhance Student Engagement. Davis\nWhen faculty and students per ceive learning as a shared endeavor\, retention and course completion are strengthened. A discussion of theory and practice of pedagogy or the art o f teaching to help faculty engage students in course and program content\, and increase students understanding of expectation\, completing high qual ity assignments and participating in learning.\nActive Learning and Engage ment Activities. Gruys\nThe focus of this session is on how to best manage the process of assigning students to teams\, creating assignments and act ivities that work well for teams\, and managing team problems such as team member lack of contribution.\nDevelopment of a Modular Game-based Environ ment for Learning. Schroeder & Deffet\nThis project presents an educationa l game to facilitate learning\, which can be used across multiple subject domains. The Student-centered Interactive Modular Performance-based Learni ng Environment (SIMPLE) will be presented. The premise of SIMPLE is that h umans are traveling on a spaceship run by robots\, but the robots turn on the humans and the humans must escape the ship and return to their home pl anet. As learners move through levels\, they solve progressively more diff icult learning problems to get through checkpoints. Learning occurs implic itly as the content is interwoven into a compelling narrative.\nDesigning Classes Using Brain-Based Learning Principles. Stover\nThe best learning s trategies involve retrieval-based learning where students are required to actively recall answers without prompting or cues.  This session includes examples of teaching methodologies and technologies that can be used in th e classroom\, including retrieval-based learning and spaced study that can increase students’ course-relevant long-term memory.\nInternational Stude nt Achievement. Fenton\nStudents from other countries and cultures are val ued members of the WSU community. There may be particular challenges in ad justing to school life and achievement in programs of study. This session focuses on cultural knowledge and strategies that can be useful for foster ing international student achievement.\nEnhancing Student Learning in Intr oductory Physics Courses. Deibel\nThis presentation discusses the impact o f active learning approaches and curriculum reform on student outcomes. Th e findings stem from development and teaching of a calculus-based physics course in Scale-Up classrooms. Course development included other instituti ons\, the physics department\, and collaboration across departments that a re serviced by the introductory physics course.\n2:45-3              Break \n3-4                   Active-Learning/SCALE-UP Panel\n4-5                    Poster Session\n5-6                   Awards & Reception\nEvent Webpag e: http://reservations.wright.edu/EmsRegics/Student%20Success%20Symposium DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20150825T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20150825T180000 LAST-MODIFIED:20180724T133018Z LOCATION:Student Success Building SUMMARY:Teaching for Student Success – Reducing the Achievement Gap URL;TYPE=URI:/events/teaching-student-success-%E2%80% 93-reducing-achievement-gap END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
