Winter Health and Wellness Resources |
|
The first day of Winter is quickly approaching. As we wrap up the Fall 2021 semester and prepare to enter the Winter season, we want to remind you of the resources available to support you and your students.
-
ISU WellBeing: ISU WellBeing provides resources to help faculty and staff with a range of topics. They include mental health resources available to employees, financial well-being, and mindfulness. If you will be on campus or in the area, consider doing the Strolls for Well-Being at ISU. Keep an eye out for the upcoming Winter Strolls for Well-Being at ISU which will feature online and in-person options.
-
Student Wellness: Student Wellness supports the holistic health, wellbeing, and safety of students on campus. They provide various programs and services, including information about the Campus Food Pantry, a wellbeing assessment tool, and a myriad of other topics.
-
Student Counseling Services: Student Counseling Services offers clinical and campus-based services to help students achieve goals. As we navigate the pandemic, we have witnessed mental health needs for the entire campus community, and supporting students' mental health is another way to support their wellbeing.
-
Campus Resources to Support Students (general): An extensive list of resources available to students and different ways of supporting your students can be found on the CELT website.
We wish you all a restful break and look forward to reconnecting for Spring 2022. Best wishes for the remainder of the Fall semester.

Teaching Advice
As a researcher and teacher of educational technology, my scholarship focuses on the design, development, and the evaluation of learning and teaching experiences with technologies and creating novel pedagogical solutions in online, mobile, and hybrid learning settings, including higher education, teacher education, and faculty development contexts.

My two decades of scholarship helped us generate “the human-centered design approach for online teaching” that informed our course design and teaching strategies during the pandemic and beyond. Our human-centered approach highlights building empathy, engaging in pedagogical inquiry, universal design for learning, and establishing a community of inquiry as key premises for effective teaching...
