On November 8, 2019, the IU Bloomington campus experienced a power outage that impacted a large portion of campus. Classrooms, labs, and administrative offices were without power from approximately 10:00 a.m.– 9:00 p.m. A one-day outage is a minor problem, but what happens if a crisis kept you from teaching more than one day? Visit the Keep Teaching website to start making plans now for how you would keep your classes active during a longer disruption.

This workshop is designed to help faculty build a teaching philosophy "from the ground up," using the Nancy Chism model. Participants will use a worksheet and resources to write their own teaching philosophy, a document that answers the questions, "What teaching and assessment strategies do I use? and Why?" and "How are these teaching strategies and assessments expected to help my students learn?" Participants will also connect their teaching philosophy to a teaching statement, a document which answers the subsequent questions, "What student learning and successes have resulted from my teaching approaches and instructional choices?"

This workshop introduces faculty and staff to the Quality Matters (QM) Rubric and to the QM Process. Quality Matters is a nationally recognized quality assurance organization for online course design, and the QM Process is a faculty-led peer review process that uses the research-based standards (criteria) of the QM Rubric to certify online courses. Eventually, many online courses within the IU system will undergo the QM Process with the goal of achieving national QM recognition. Faculty may also use the QM Rubric as a guide to design online courses. And, for faculty who are interested, this course serves as a pre-requisite for QM's Peer Reviewer Course, which is a required course for faculty who seek certification as a QM Peer Reviewer, allowing them to participate in QM course reviews for courses created here at IU and at other universities.
The workshop is offered at IUPUI as a one-day in-person workshop from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.with a one hour break for lunch. To receive the QM certificate of completion for this workshop, participants must be present for and participate in the entire workshop.

Our fall 2019 Community Trends report: Food Access Across Groups, Neighborhoods, and Time is now available. Last fall, our research found an estimated 200,000 Indianapolis residents live in low-income neighborhoods with low food access. This new report looks at food access from different perspectives: time, population, transportation modes like walking and transit, and food systems. This will allow us to see how different places and populations in Indianapolis have been affected by store closures in recent years, , how not having a car might affect a household’s access to fresh produce, and where secondary food outlets (like convenience stores)and emergency resources (like food pantries) increase food access for those in need.
