@JeffreyKeefer	@cookingandcomp Always in interested in how people start teaching as an #adjunct. What is your story for getting into it?#AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:13:45
@SBowerMurphy	@Melissa_Venable Like to follow the latest tech and news in online ed.  Would like to write blog with that focus.  Too broad? #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:13:52
@4KM	@Comprof1 I also focus on journals and occasional blogs rather than texts. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:13:52

@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 @cookingandcomp @Melissa_Venable Do you (all) blog in an open site or under the LMS? #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:14:11
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable Like 2 find info in multiple languages (read french, Spanish, dutch, Portuguese. SOMETIMES German #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:14:15
@JeffreyKeefer	Hmm, seems my Tweets came as a Twitter blanket. Perhaps to keep #AdjunctChat warm?!?!	1/28/2014 16:14:40
@4KM	We have to have opt out clauses for public student blogging because of privacy legislation (+ Patriot Act etc.) #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:14:40
@cookingandcomp	@JeffreyKeefer I just finished my master’s. Applied for several FT jobs, but only interviewed for 1 where I am now adjuncting #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:14:51
@fabianbanga	Hi @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:14:54
@JeffreyKeefer	No wonder nobody in #AdjunctChat  replied to me!!	1/28/2014 16:14:57
@Melissa_Venable	@SBowerMurphy Sounds like a good place to start – and I bet you’ll find a more specific niche as you get going. #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:15:05
@Comprof1	@SBowerMurphy @Melissa_Venable NO. I actually write about comm, technology, higher ed, research, and cross-cultural matters. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:15:19
@LitProfSuz	#adjunctchat Oh, & I facilitated a grad student writing group & posted all handouts, tips, & writing links on a blog	1/28/2014 16:15:30
@Melissa_Venable	There you are! 😉 RT @JeffreyKeefer Hmm, seems my Tweets came as a Twitter blanket. Perhaps to keep #AdjunctChat warm?!?!	1/28/2014 16:15:33
@Comprof1	@SBowerMurphy @Melissa_Venable I have a following despite eclectic topics. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:15:54
@cookingandcomp	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable I have used both. My last inst. used gmail, making blogger convenient. I also use WP #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:15:59
@4KM	@Melissa_Venable Moved fm http://t.co/n0ZfEZVB7F to http://t.co/8w49SHumlf, which I like better unless pro helpers hide coding #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:16:13
@Melissa_Venable	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 @cookingandcomp WordPress is my platform of choice.  #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:16:31
@4KM	@JeffreyKeefer Now you just need a twitter Teddy #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:17:02
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable #adjunctchat / Don’t you find problems cause the audience? Blogs, SocMedia? Because most people are monolingual.	1/28/2014 16:17:06
@SBowerMurphy	@Comprof1 Thanks!  I’ll check out your blog.  Sounds interesting! #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:17:09
@Comprof1	@4KM Yes, students can submit if they don’t want it public. But none do. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:17:17
@EdiblyOrganic	RT @4KM: We have to have opt out clauses for public student blogging because of privacy legislation (+ Patriot Act etc.) #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:17:30
@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable @fabianbanga @cookingandcomp Why? #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:18:00
@cookingandcomp	@Melissa_Venable @fabianbanga @Comprof1 I keep my blog there. I’d like to convert it to a resource for #fyc but unsure how #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:18:04
@fabianbanga	@cookingandcomp @Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable #AdjunctChat / me too, WP for public blogs, Moodle for the class.	1/28/2014 16:18:06
@Melissa_Venable	Anyone? RT @fabianbanga Don’t you find problems cause the audience? Blogs, SocMedia? Because most people are monolingual. #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:18:19
@4KM	Does anyone else deal with privacy policies or legislation for students blogging for assignment purposes? #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:18:21
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable Yes. Sometimes I find great resource but know I can’t use it for class reading. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:19:05
@Melissa_Venable	We’re moving into Q2) What pre/cautions should adjunct academic bloggers be aware of? #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:19:09
@Comprof1	@cookingandcomp @Melissa_Venable @fabianbanga Can’t you have your students access it and read it as an assigned reading? #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:20:17
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable #adjunctchat /  my problem is with the audience; exclusion / have 4 groups. Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese	1/28/2014 16:20:57
@cookingandcomp	@Melissa_Venable I worry about divulging info. I want to share course triumphs but I worry about protections. So I say nothing. #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:21:03
@Comprof1	@4KM I can’t require my students to use public forum, but I can ask them to use it. I have in syllabus opt out. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:21:20
@4KM	@Comprof1 Some use “anonymous” blogging approach as another workaround.  Of course offline misses potential interaction #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:22:02
@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable 1 thing I’ve seen happening in k-12 is teachers getting in trouble for complaining about students. I never do. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:22:31
@cookingandcomp	@Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable @fabianbanga good idea! Also trying to find best resources to provide/use. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:22:44
@JeffreyKeefer	I seem to be getting Twitter api issues. Perhaps I am destined to not speak much about #AdjunctChat blogging today?	1/28/2014 16:22:50
@4KM	A2 Our culture fragments lives. There are risks to being a whole person #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:23:05
@fabianbanga	@4KM #adjunctchat // yes, all the time, this is why blogs from my classes are under the LMS (closed)	1/28/2014 16:23:08
@rjhogue	@4KM My class spent a week talking about digital identity and privacy. This weeks issue seems to be sharing pictures on blogs. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:23:15
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable Wonder if wouldn’t be better to have different blog for each language then cross reference. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:23:17
@Melissa_Venable	#AdjunctChat – I’m getting Twitter API messages, too. 😦 I can “hear” you but not sure you can hear me as well.	1/28/2014 16:23:46
@4KM	@fabianbanga Say more about exclusion? #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:23:56
@Melissa_Venable	#AdjunctChat – I’m getting Twitter API messages, too. 😦 I can “hear” you but not sure you can hear me as well.	1/28/2014 16:24:07
@Comprof1	@4KM Honestly, I have yet to have any student opt out. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:24:08
@JeffreyKeefer	I use self-hosted WordPress for my blogging though do not use it right now much with my students; I do use it for academic work #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:24:26
@fabianbanga	@cookingandcomp @Melissa_Venable #adjunctchat // yes, it is not legal to open the class here; many problems, like of privacy.	1/28/2014 16:24:37
@rjhogue	I have some students who have “private” websites, which they invite me in #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:24:42
@cookingandcomp	#adjunctchat I hope that last tweet didn’t come through a billion times! 🙂	1/28/2014 16:24:44
@4KM	@rjhogue Image and identity: a meaty issue for sure #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:24:48
@fabianbanga	@cookingandcomp @Melissa_Venable #adjunctchat // you have to create a parallel class open, not directly connected with the original class.	1/28/2014 16:25:19
@Melissa_Venable	cookingandcomp I’m having similar fear! It’s all or nothing with Twitter it seems.  #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:25:25
@MirandaMerklein	@Melissa_Venable Adjuncts always need to be aware of the cost of exposure or retaliation when critical of #highered #AdjunctChat.	1/28/2014 16:25:46
@fabianbanga	@4KM #adjunctchat //  it is about the nature of the comunication / si hablo en espanhol y tu no, quedas afuera.	1/28/2014 16:26:12
@fabianbanga	@4KM #adjunctchat / the same for any language you use.	1/28/2014 16:26:32
@4KM	@Comprof1 I haven’t either, but have been out of online teaching for a while #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:27:01

@cookingandcomp	@fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable yes. And my experiences with the irb have made me hyper aware #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:27:09
@rjhogue	@4km I had to make the blog/website assignment very flexible. I’m happy that most people are using public blogs/websites #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:27:12

@rjhogue	@4KM meaty issues, but allows my students to choose the option that is best for them given their specific circumstances. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:29:13
@rjhogue	@Melissa_Venable my students needed to demonstrate creation of a website or blog, but the content isn’t important  #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:30:12
@Comprof1	@rjhogue @4KM Same here.  As I said, most don’t opt out. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:30:29

@4KM	@fabianbanga Did something like that once; most of experience on another platform but theoretically “optional” #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:30:51
@Melissa_Venable	rjhogue Got it. That makes sense. I have a similar project in a course related to instructional design.  #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:30:53
@rjhogue	@Melissa_Venable they were also required to journal, either in a public blog or using Blackboard Learn …  #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:30:55
@JeffreyKeefer	@cookingandcomp That has been the story of my day! #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:31:03
@Comprof1	@cookingandcomp @fabianbanga @Melissa_Venable But IRB is different than teaching/privacy laws. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:31:24
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Ahh, they don’t like #adjuncts?!?! #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:31:47

@JeffreyKeefer	RT @Melissa_Venable: Anyone have experience grading blogs? RT @Comprof1 But how do you give feedback? Do you do it on the LMS? #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:44:14
@JeffreyKeefer	I have had trouble using blogs and such with students, as it sometimes seems like “forced” work rather than a natural support #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:44:53
@Melissa_Venable	@rjhogue @Comprof1 Couldn’t agree with you more! Especially when operating outside the comfort zone. #nogrades #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:44:57
@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat Text set was already required in the syllabus, just used tech to present it. Allowed for multimedia connections	1/28/2014 16:45:30
@cookingandcomp	@JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz @Comprof1 #adjunctchat everything I do that benefits students seems like #extrawork. But if it helps, worth it.	1/28/2014 16:45:41

@LitProfSuz	@JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat Twitter wasn’t as well embraced.  Was an extra & stdt posted minimally. Need to re-think how I introduce it.	1/28/2014 16:46:40
@rjhogue	Ya, I’m not sure about integrating twitter – other than perhaps demonstrating the power of a chat #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:47:18
@Melissa_Venable	LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer have had similar experiences/resistance to Twitter as an assignment. Try to identify specific tasks. #AdjunctChat	1/28/2014 16:47:47
@fabianbanga	@LitProfSuz @JeffreyKeefer twitter never works for my classes, facebook > yes! #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:48:06

@rjhogue	@LitProfSuz I had them Google themselves and Google Me (Rebecca J. Hogue) … it brought some interesting insights to them #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:49:44
@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable @JeffreyKeefer Blogging had least resistance. In fact many students preferred. But can use for job search. #adjunctchat	1/28/2014 16:49:52

@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat A1: I taught online a lot. Last semester felt like at least 50% online, and this for a “face-to-face” class.	1/21/14 16:02
@Melissa_Venable	@Comprof1 A1: I teach online now, 100% of my teaching is online. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:02
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Great to see you for #AdjunctChat; thanks for facilitating it. The topic is so timely!	1/21/14 16:02
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable @IshaiBarnoy Great to see you here at #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:03
@Melissa_Venable	@IshaiBarnoy Hello, Ishai! Would you say your F2F course is more “blended” or “hybrid”? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:03
@Comprof1	@AdjunctChat I haven’t taught online for about 4 yrs but will be teaching a course online this summer. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:03
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Q1 I have taught online, and am about to teach another blended course #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:03
@Comprof1	RT @Melissa_Venable: @IshaiBarnoy Hello, Ishai! Would you say your F2F course is more “blended” or “hybrid”? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:04
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat A1: Also, I signed up to teach with @Oplerno. I still have to get my stuff together, but … someday soon I’ll get into it.	1/21/14 16:04
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy Q1 Can you talk more about how you understand your online teaching given the course seems scheduled for in-person? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:04
@IshaiBarnoy	@Melissa_Venable #AdjunctChat For official terminology, I would say “blended.” The term “hybrid” is used by my dept. for v. specific things.	1/21/14 16:05
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 What are you doing differently to prepare to teach this summer’s online course? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:05
@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable Do you also design your course or do you have a separate person design it? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:06
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 #AdjunctChat By choice, definitely, but pedagogically-motivated. I teach a composition class. Connection & dissemination are key.	1/21/14 16:06
@Melissa_Venable	@IshaiBarnoy That makes sense – but it sounds like your course may have some of the same features or qualities. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:07
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer This is something new because it is only 4 weeks so more intense than before #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:07
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Sure! I see it as homework, workshopping, and drafting.	1/21/14 16:07
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy @Melissa_Venable The blended course I am teaching @PaceUniversity meets in-person 5x w/ the remainder via distance #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:07
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer I also think I need approval from dept so I’ll have to have it completed by May (it goes live in July). #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:08
@Melissa_Venable	@Comprof1 Both – sometimes it’s an existing course, but I’m also an instructional designer so have designed my courses, too #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:08
@IshaiBarnoy	@Melissa_Venable Yes, very much so. It’s generally hard to practically separate “hybrid” and “blended” approaches. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:08
@JustCallMeAngVS	@Melissa_Venable @Comprof1 25% of my time is online teaching. #adjunctchat. Has been, in the past, anywhere from 50 to 90%.	1/21/14 16:08
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Ia that a new course for you or one you taught previously? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:08
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy What types of online activities/resources do you use? Do you create your own or use “canned” resources? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:09
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy So in this way, it seems all courses may be considered online ones? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:09
@Melissa_Venable	@IshaiBarnoy Agreed! I think the terms are often used interchangeably #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:09
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer One I’ve taught a lot (plus dissertation topic: group communication). #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:09
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy What do you mean by “canned” resources to use in online coursework? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@JustCallMeAngVS Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	1/21/14 16:10
@Comprof1	@JustCallMeAngVS @Melissa_Venable Was the 90% by choice or required? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:10
@Comprof1	RT @JeffreyKeefer: @IshaiBarnoy So in this way, it seems all courses may be considered online ones? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:10
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat I agree, in a way. Clear exceptions would be courses specifically designed with email as only online resource.	1/21/14 16:11
@Melissa_Venable	@JustCallMeAngVS Welcome, Angela! What accounts for the variance? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:11
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy Programs from publishers or created by a different instructional designer. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:11
@JeffreyKeefer	@JustCallMeAngVS @Melissa_Venable @Comprof1 I used to teach a lot more online than in-person, though that has changed recently #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:11
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy I also have been an instructional designer for language courses at Empire State. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:12
@JustCallMeAngVS	@Comprof1 was teaching 9 courses a sem while earning my Ph.D. and raising 4 children as a newly divorced single mom. No choice. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:12
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @JustCallMeAngVS @Melissa_Venable Your choice or the school’s? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:12
@JeffreyKeefer	@JustCallMeAngVS @Melissa_Venable @Comprof1 I teach some online; w/ the growth of online instruction, the faculty pool widens #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:12
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Last semester, I made up my own material, almost entirely — “inspired” by others’ successes.	1/21/14 16:13
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy I have seen faculty resources, but not enough materials to primarily teach online using them #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:13
@melovell	If you’re a sessional/adjunct academic and you teach online, then you may want to join today’s #adjunctchat. It’s just started.	1/21/14 16:13
@Melissa_Venable	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer @JustCallMeAngVS I teach courses that are offered as “online” courses. Not a lot of mystery or choice. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:13
@Comprof1	#adjunctchat Q2 Is anyone an instructional designer who does not actually teach? If not, how much time do you put into designing course?	1/21/14 16:14
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy I have some colleagues who do HE instructional design, though have never seen that in my programs #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:14
@IshaiBarnoy	@AdjunctSarah @JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat I avoid Bb, as a rule. Instead, I use free blogging services. I don’t integrate. I link.	1/21/14 16:14

@JeffreyKeefer	@JustCallMeAngVS @Melissa_Venable Do you teach FT or #adjunct in a PT capacity? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:16
@Melissa_Venable	@Comprof1 I think there are a lot of instructional designers working on campuses, as contractors, who don’t teach. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:16
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Some online schools like Empire State or Excelsier have content experts, instructiondesigners, and instructors #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:16
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat A2: I teach primarily. Time I put in: Years of experience + 2-3 weeks of intensively drafting & revising posts & handouts.	1/21/14 16:16
@Melissa_Venable	@JeffreyKeefer @JustCallMeAngVS Teaching is a PT endeavor for me. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:17
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I have done a fair amount of instructional design, though mainly with program design and development #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:17
@JustCallMeAngVS	@AdjunctSarah @Comprof1 barely. I don’t know how I did it. I am really good at what I do. Students did not suffer. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:17
@melovell	@JeffreyKeefer Thanks, I’ve never taught a course without face-to-face classes, so don’t have much to add. Interesting topic. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:17
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 I wonder if this makes the instruction easier of if it is <gulp> to control what is taught? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:18
@jorgegomez101	to me, teaching online is more challenging than f2f. trying out live (& mirror) conferencing for the first time. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:18
@Comprof1	@Melissa_Venable @JeffreyKeefer @JustCallMeAngVS Do you get paid differently than FT faculty? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:19
@JeffreyKeefer	@JustCallMeAngVS @AdjunctSarah @Comprof1 Wow, what a busy bee you were! The best for time management = lots of commitments #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:20
@JustCallMeAngVS	@Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable No I was not but was poorly paid for the most part as adjuncts typically are. I can be picky now. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:20

@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat No, online is a compromise. I’d rather just teach close to home, for decent pay and health insurance.	1/21/14 16:38
@JeffreyKeefer	@JustCallMeAngVS @Melissa_Venable @melovell Do you know any good short courses in developing online instruction? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:38

@JeffreyKeefer	RT @fabianbanga: Sorry I am late; did you talk about ownership of online content? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:38
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga No, but that is a good point. Especially for adjuncts who may work at multiple sites/orgs. Can you elaborate? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:38
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Yes I teach online and I’m DE coordin 4 my campus and District (kind of adviser to the chancellors) #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:39

@JeffreyKeefer	@JustCallMeAngVS @Comprof1 @Melissa_Venable @melovell Quick, get the book out; lots of folks can use that #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:39
@JustCallMeAngVS	@Melissa_Venable @Comprof1 Student lack of readiness. Poor writing skills. Lack of respect from those with tenure. Low pay. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:39
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 exactly, because I assume you own you content in F2F #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:40
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy How did you get an online teaching position if not near home? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:40
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @JeffreyKeefer Do you work with adjuncts? What are some of the misperceptions? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:41
@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer 4 example, you create a shell in the campus LMS, it is yours or institution? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:41
@JeffreyKeefer	Does anybody think about how online courses would save the uni money (no need for room, no need for supplies), etc.? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:41
@josh_boldt	@JeffreyKeefer @fabianbanga I know Rob Skiff at @oplerno is big on intellectual property rights for adjuncts, if that helps. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:41
@Comprof1	@JustCallMeAngVS @Melissa_Venable How do you handle poor writing (and reading and self-regulation) skills? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:42
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat My primary teaching position is not online. I just found my way into it. My new forays haven’t quite solidified.	1/21/14 16:42
@JeffreyKeefer	I wonder about teaching online, meaning I use and pay for my own computer, network, and the like. Seems a uni pays less for it #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:42
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer I work with adjuncts all the time (support is the same for FT and PT) #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:42

@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat So I still have to see what teaching online “fully” is like. But I got into “full” online teaching via twitter.	1/21/14 16:44
@JeffreyKeefer	@josh_boldt Yes, I have been trying to get both @fabianbanga and @Oplerno (and YOU) to facilitate an #AdjunctChat http://t.co/VlhjvYNbIC	1/21/14 16:44
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Absolutely. But there are other hidden costs uni’s transferring to online don’t consider. IT is big cost. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:45
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 At least the intended support is the same FT and PT. Often PT cannot make the times offered IMHO #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:45

@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer Yes, exactly, a bigger problem than DE: compensation @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:47
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @josh_boldt @JeffreyKeefer We also have it in our contract (instructor owned). Gets murky w/ publishers though. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:47
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy An initial online teaching question is clarifying how much instruction is synchronous vs. asynchronous #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:48
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Online costs that include personal use of IT and space mean unis save even more $ while trumpeting “convenience” #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:49
@MLAELEVATORHULK	WHY #ADJUNCTCHAT NOT IN HULK’S ‘VATOR? HULK UNIONIZED!	1/21/14 16:49
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy Why is that important? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:49
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer Also need to ask who pays for tech and/or tech training. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:50
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 I think these issues raise ethical issues of what is fair and how that works with teaching and learning #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:50
@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer @josh_boldt @Oplerno negotiation should be the same 4 F2F and DE classes, rights should be the same #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:50
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Yeah, why not do all asynchronously? Or at least as much as possible? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:50
@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 exactly / #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:51

@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy @Comprof1 It depends on the dept needs, expectations, and requirements — all need to be clarified up front #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:52
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer Plagerism. Also less work if you are working synchronously (more like traditional class). #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:52

@fabianbanga	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy Unfortunately we do not have $$ for tech training #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:53
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer REALLY. I guess the question is why do they have to be in US if they can take online. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:54
@JeffreyKeefer	I find that completely asynchronous courses cause many students to struggle with deadlines, as it somehow seems less “real” #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:54
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer I agree, plagiarism is a big problem everywhere. Does turnitdotcom work for you guys? #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:54
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 Ah, yes, well. With #Adjuncts, many if not most “expectations” are riddled with departmental neglect. #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:54
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy You don’t have videos for students and faculty? How do they get answers to tech ?’s. #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:55
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 That is if a program is completely online, which many of them are not #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:55
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer No more than f2f. Instructional design and getting to know student style better #adjunctchat	1/21/14 16:56
@JeffreyKeefer	I wonder if online courses will cause even more growth in #adjunct instruction as location and time become less an issue? #AdjunctChat	1/21/14 16:57

@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Wow, 24 years as an #adjunct! #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:04:37
@JeffreyKeefer	I am Jeffrey Keefer and I teach as an #adjunct at New York University and at Pace University, both here in the middle of #nyc  #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:05:19
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat Alright, let’s get started with our first question, Q1: What’s going on? Tell us about a trouble you’ve witnessed in higher ed.	1/14/2014 16:06:03
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Don’t know if that is a wow good or wow can’t believe you put up with it so long! 😉 #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:06:11
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Welcome, Jeffrey. It’s good to talk to you again!	1/14/2014 16:06:48
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy @Comprof1 Do you both work in an #adjunct capacity as FT work or as your primary role?  #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:07:24
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Q1: Tell us about one thing you’ve had to put up with in this period. I’m curious.	1/14/2014 16:07:50
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy Great to see you here; you certainly have a passionate interest in #adjunct issues  #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:08:01
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat I’m an #adjunct; that’s my only source of employment and income. No FT work as of yet.	1/14/2014 16:08:52
@fabianbanga	@IshaiBarnoy @IshaiBarnoy I am FT teach Spanish language, culture and literature at Berkeley City College / also DE coordinator #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:08:55
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy I’ve seen real change over my yrs from core of profs augmented by adjuncts to a small core of admins makng policy #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:09:26
@IshaiBarnoy	@fabianbanga #adjunctchat Welcome, Fabian! Good to talk to you again!	1/14/2014 16:09:56
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy @Comprof1 Can you speak more about what you mean “put up with”? #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:09:56
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga Nice to see you in #AdjunctChat today!	1/14/2014 16:11:35
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer @Comprof1 #adjunctchat Forgive me if I use contentious terminology, such as “put up with.” I’d like to explore difficulties.	1/14/2014 16:11:48
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat My biggest problem has been class size (ave 40-45 for reg classes) & no access to FT jobs from dept	1/14/2014 16:11:55
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 do you have a union at Virginia Yonkers? //  #adjunctchat @IshaiBarnoy	1/14/2014 16:12:29
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy That must be a challenge to rely on #adjunct work as FT income. How many courses do you teach? #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:12:35
@injenuity	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 There’s some flexibility in our bargained agreement. #adjunctchat http://t.co/vW1E8MN6ym	1/14/2014 16:12:46
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer We also are getting the k-12 admin creep w/ more and more admin required. #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:12:52
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 #adjunctchat Tell us about this change. What do the faculty and the admin do at your school, for the most part?	1/14/2014 16:12:55
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 same problem here 40+ are too many  @IshaiBarnoy @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:13:32
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy Ahh. Q1 For difficulties, I would say either administration turn-over OR lack of communication #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:13:59
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy Fac used to have more say in majors and curriculum. NY state schools now are centralizing this (62 campuses). #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:14:28
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Wow, I have not seen many #adjuncts involved in setting policy #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:14:37
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat A1: The trouble I notice in my school is mostly low pay, no benefits to adjcts compared with high costs, low yield to students.	1/14/2014 16:14:47
@fabianbanga	@injenuity w type of flexibility? we also have steps and also columns for degrees @Comprof1 #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:15:27
@JeffreyKeefer	@injenuity Glad you are able to join us! @fabianbanga @Comprof1 #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:15:34
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy Yes. But its a state school. NY state has taken hard line against all state unions. #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:15:47

@IshaiBarnoy	@injenuity @fabianbanga @Comprof1 Welcome to #AdjunctChat, Jen. Feel free to jump in or just supplement our discussion as you like.	1/14/2014 16:16:34
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer Depends on the dept for the schools I’ve taught at. Usually invited adjuncts for input. #adjunctchat No longer true.	1/14/2014 16:17:28
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy Q1 I am amazed with the combined tuition payments of those in my room compared to how little I make from it  #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:17:36
@IshaiBarnoy	Alright, #AdjunctChat. Let’s throw Q2 into the mix: What’s would be a better picture? Tell us what a result you feel you “own” looks like.	1/14/2014 16:17:53
@fabianbanga	@injenuity @Comprof1 the columns are degrees and # are years of work calculated by a formula. #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:18:36
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga @IshaiBarnoy Interesting; at NYU there is a union though with tremendous faculty so it seems to struggle #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:19:05
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 @fabianbanga #AdjunctChat That’s unfortunate. The state board where I work also famously anti-union. The only hope might be SAIC?	1/14/2014 16:19:28
@fabianbanga	@injenuity @Comprof1 PhD is an E. #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:19:38
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy Q1 If there is such low pay, what has kept you there doing #adjunct work for several years? #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:19:43
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @IshaiBarnoy: Alright, #AdjunctChat. Let’s throw Q2 into the mix: What’s would be a better picture? Tell us what a result you feel you…	1/14/2014 16:20:09
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy I think esp true at private schools School I’m considering neg pay is private & offers >1500/course #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:20:44
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Honestly? This is the best bang for the buck that I got straight out of my MFA! And “retooling” is expensive.	1/14/2014 16:20:47
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat I make barely more than that, myself.	1/14/2014 16:21:41
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 $1500 for how many units/weeks? @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:22:05
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat A2: I want to see smaller classes, students intensively guided toward guaranteed (if rudimentary) work placement, & benefits.	1/14/2014 16:23:10
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy Ahh, so you were able to do this right off an MFA. Sweet! #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:23:33
@JeffreyKeefer	Q2 I wonder why there is so much administration turn-over? Hard for stability without structure #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:24:56
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Well, I had a summer of grief and difficult-to-answer questions during dates before I won that mini-lottery.	1/14/2014 16:24:58
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy Not sure I agree with work placement. Career goals, yes. I see part of problem is uni=workplace training today #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:25:29
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat What kind of structure for faculty and admin would you like to see?	1/14/2014 16:26:00
@Comprof1	@IshaiBarnoy would rather see ethical marketing of college (I have 2 in college now). #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:26:04
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy Universities seem increasingly focused on education as commodity, and thus only cost / benefit focused #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:27:19
@fabianbanga	@Comprof1 Ok, 3 units. We are close to  $3K almost twice that pay. But life is very expensive here. @JeffreyKeefer @IshaiBarnoy #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:27:23
@IshaiBarnoy	@Comprof1 #AdjunctChat I accept your criticism, while I disagree. For most of my students, education, however liberal, implies employment.	1/14/2014 16:27:30
@IshaiBarnoy	#AdjunctChat I’m perfectly with you there! RT @Comprof1 would rather see ethical marketing of college (I have 2 in college now)	1/14/2014 16:28:36
@fabianbanga	@injenuity @Comprof1 I see; we do not negotiate steps but automatically go up every year. #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:28:40
@MMstrikesback	#adjunctchat Sorry I found it!! :))	1/14/2014 16:28:49
@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga @Comprof1 @IshaiBarnoy Those costs are fine if edu is only about a product (=better job); then supply and demand #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:29:36
@JeffreyKeefer	@MMstrikesback Welcome to #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:29:52
@Comprof1	@fabianbanga Actually, my current adjunct pay is affordable, but private school offered pay at $1500 lower for same job #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:30:15
@JeffreyKeefer	@injenuity @IshaiBarnoy No, though from my experience it seems to all go toward expansion and high TT perks #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:30:32
@LitProfSuz	#AdjunctChat A1: I love teaching & I love improving my practice. Would like more consistency w/ classes & be able to improve.	1/14/2014 16:30:45

@JeffreyKeefer	Q2 I keep thinking that changes in HE follow those in (USA) society, where everything is around costs and gains = commodities #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:33:30

@IshaiBarnoy	@LitProfSuz #AdjunctChat How would you see yourself finding a mentor or trusted colleague, wherever it is you could look?	1/14/2014 16:35:41
@JeffreyKeefer	I wonder if the HE focus on costs and supply / demand only blurs the uni mission and vision? #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:36:01

@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @LitProfSuz I find faculty and instructors make the worst students. I hate being observed after all these years #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:39:07
@Comprof1	@MMstrikesback But I bet they would do an observation if you asked. #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:39:10
@MMstrikesback	@Comprof1 yes because I am in education I have asked TT faculty to observe this year. The field is changing so much  #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:40:07
@IshaiBarnoy	@fabianbanga #AdjunctChat Sometimes I wonder to what extent the FT’s at my school (on 1-/3-year contracts) are also “precariously employed.”	1/14/2014 16:40:31
@LitProfSuz	@IshaiBarnoy #adjunctchat I don’t know that I have much say, but I know the course improves each time. One class I taught 3x over 4 yrs.	1/14/2014 16:40:37

@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy FT at your uni does not = tenure? #AdjunctChat	1/14/2014 16:42:00
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @LitProfSuz that’s why it took 15 yrs to do it for me! And then it was only as a requirement to get a grant! #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:42:02

@LitProfSuz	@Comprof1 Good for you! What did you learn? #adjunctchat	1/14/2014 16:44:06

AdjunctChat Topic Jan 14 ~ Academy of the Oppressed

This week’s #AdjunctChat is titled “Academy of the Oppressed.”

Much like the previous notable works that earned the words “… of the Oppressed,” this chat will be more about the now, the people who are oppressed in the present of the Academy—faculty, students, and others. The goal is to think, first, about what hurts now, second, about what we want the future to looks like, and third, about what we can do tomorrow, by ourselves if we have to, in order to make it to a future that we call ours.

Our chat questions for this week will be…

1. What is happening now? Tell us, however directly or indirectly, about a trouble you’ve observed or heard about in the structure of the Academy that is personally familiar to you.
2. What could the future look like? Tell us, however directly or indirectly, what you think a corrected, functional, and fair version of the troubles you/we have described might look like.
3. What do we do to move ahead? Think back to #1, and tell us, however directly or indirectly, what you and we should, could, or would do to move from there to #2.

Other important questions to consider are as follows: Why is this the case? Why approach it in this way? What are the costs? Then again, this chat is less about analyzing what’s going on and more about what’s going on. Above all, let’s talk about the personal situations we have observed and not get lost in difficult-to-manage abstractions. That is, it may just be that what’s easy to imagine—since we’ve been trained to think and talk in (oppressive) abstractions—is what we most need to be suspicious of.

Our facilitator will be Ishai Barnoy @IshaiBarnoy and we will meet on January 14 from 4:00-4:30(ish)pm EST.

All are welcome!

@JeffreyKeefer	@fabianbanga Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	1/7/2014 16:15:09
@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy So is that a yes for 1/14 or 1/21? #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:15:44
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Thanks! What do you like about that goal of mine? #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:17:05
@IshaiBarnoy	@JeffreyKeefer #AdjunctChat Okay, it’s a yes for 1/14. Put me in. And DM me about it when you can.	1/7/2014 16:17:07
@Melissa_Venable	A1) Still working on it, but have some general ideas in mind: better use of time, new #profdev opps, more focused attention #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:17:11

@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Q1 What do you want to do better with your time? #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:22:46
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Q1 I think it is easy to want to measure our personal goals though when it comes to time we often have a sense #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:23:34
@JeffreyKeefer	@Melissa_Venable Q1 By the sense that you want to better manage your time, what abuot it? Better yet, what is not working now? #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:24:12

@fabianbanga	@4KM Interesting, I was also working on our program review (have to finish it by next week) #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:42:19
@4KM	@JeffreyKeefer Didn’t realize chat was still on. This is a routine 5-year review, so it isn’t really “routine” work. #adjunctchat	1/7/2014 16:42:24
@JeffreyKeefer	I used to think that goals were only SMART and involved things others would want to track regarding my progress  #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:42:25
@JeffreyKeefer	BUT, now I find that my personal goals / intentions are really much more empowering!  #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:42:53
@LitProfSuz	#AdjunctChat! This year at the conference,i was annoyed getting lumped into the category of “Other” as the speaker surveyed the room.	1/7/2014 16:43:17
@JeffreyKeefer	@chrishumphrey Welcome to #AdjunctChat!	1/7/2014 16:43:17

@fabianbanga	@4KM Technically not a PR but an update (big one was two years ago) #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:44:30
@4KM	@LitProfSuz What was the “other?” As opposed to? (I arrived late) #AdjunctChat!	1/7/2014 16:44:41
@JeffreyKeefer	@4KM We are technically 30 minutes, though informally go for 60 minutes #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:44:42
@Comprof1	@4KM I think that’s true for all adjuncts. Reactive rather than proactive. #adjunctchat	1/7/2014 16:44:46
@JeffreyKeefer	@4KM I suppose anything that is over and above our “regular” work is something that could make for a fine annual goal #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:45:20
@LitProfSuz	#adjunctchat Q3 I have a writing board in my home office that I need to update with this year’s writing & presentation goals	1/7/2014 16:45:38

@4KM	@LitProfSuz Too bad. #AdjunctChat I think I’m lucky because adjuncts (we use other terms) were a strong pt of the U from the beginning.	1/7/2014 16:49:42
@FromPhDtoLife	@JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable So fun, gets creative juices flowing, reminds me that I’m not really a “sole” proprietor #adjunctchat	1/7/2014 16:49:51

@4KM	@Comprof1 Don’t know if your bkgd might work for a virtual guest slot in our program; we should chat offline some time. #AdjunctChat!	1/7/2014 16:51:07
@Comprof1	My goal is to look for jobs outside of academia. It’s a sad reality that I don’t see much future as adjunct #adjunctchat	1/7/2014 16:51:36
@4KM	@fabianbanga Good to see you briefly; have a good week #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:51:42
@JeffreyKeefer	As we start to “formally” wind down (though the #AdjunctChat tag is always available and I follow it religiously!) . . .	1/7/2014 16:51:43
@4KM	@JeffreyKeefer Thanks Jeffrey #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:52:23
@JeffreyKeefer	What take-aways do you have regarding your 2014 goals (or something else that came from today’s #AdjunctChat)?	1/7/2014 16:52:24
@Comprof1	I want to do more research in academics, he, development, & mobile communication. #adjunctchat	1/7/2014 16:52:43
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @chrishumphrey I use a time tracking software for some projects, and live by GANTTs in others; I do FT PM work! #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:53:31
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Great take-away! #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:53:50
@FromPhDtoLife	@JeffreyKeefer @Melissa_Venable Absolutely. And I’d love it if we were all self-employed (& if I succeeded at it in 2014) #adjunctchat	1/7/2014 16:53:56

@JeffreyKeefer	Anybody else want to share some take-aways from today? #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:55:23

@LitProfSuz	#adjunctchat It might sound silly, but it is good to know that I am not alone. My take-away!	1/7/2014 16:56:03
@JeffreyKeefer	@4KM Nice balance, I suppose! What do you do as your primary work again? #AdjunctChat	1/7/2014 16:56:08

AdjunctChat Topic Jan 7 ~ Goals for 2014

The topic for the he first #AdjunctChat of 2014 is:

What are your (professional) goals for 2014?

Many people tend to think about goals at the beginning of the year, and while it often helps to consider if they are SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timely), it is more valuable to consider how they relate to the outcomes you want to achieve. Whether personal or professional or academic or what have you, considering what you want to accomplish this coming year can help you create a path for it.

Have you set any goals for 2014?

With this in mind, this #AdjunctChat will consider these questions:

Q1:  Have you established any goals or intentions for 2014?

Q2:  What goals did you set for yourself?

Q3:  Which of your goals are related to your professional work or advancement?

Our facilitator will be Jeffrey Keefer @JeffreyKeefer and we will meet on January 7 from 4:00-4:30(ish)pm EST.

All are welcome!

@DrHepner	Professional development for adjuncts?  That’s the last thing adjuncts want to do!  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 14:52:51
@DrHepner	“None of my adjuncts have time for professional development…  that’s why I don’t even offer it.”  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 14:54:30

@DrHepner	The four previous comments were resonate of the majority of responses when I asked admin if they offer adjunct PD.  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 15:07:53

@DrHepner	“I’ve never been told they (adjunct instructors) want PD” – A dean in Illinois  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 15:48:57
@DrHepner	“We don’t offer much.  Most adjuncts were taught how to teach as TAs in grad school” – A dean in North Carolina #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 15:49:36
@DrHepner	I recently completed gathering data on the need for adjunct PD.  These are some of the participant responses #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 15:56:09
@JeffreyKeefer	Looking forward to today’s #AdjunctChat starting in a couple minutes at 4:00PM EST.	12/17/2013 15:58:48
@DrHepner	Is anybody joining us? @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:00:46
@DrHepner	I “preloaded” a few quotes from admin about adjuncts and their PD needs.  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:01:35
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner Looking forward to hearing a little about your research regarding #adjunct faculty #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:01:43
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner We shall see! I sent a number of reminders to colleagues and friends and such, so we never know who turns up or reads #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:02:19
@DrHepner	It seems like there is either indifference and/or ignorance among many admin about PD needs #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:02:54
@JeffreyKeefer	Today’s #adjunctchat on Professional Development is beginning; all welcome! http://t.co/cMpjIh34gc	12/17/2013 16:03:23
@DrHepner	We offer the usual campus cultural induction at the beginning of each semester.  What does your campus offer?  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:03:32
@DrHepner	We also offer a “certification program” in which we rehash a lot of the cultural induction, such as security, FERPA, etc…  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:03:58
@DrHepner	Seems like many campuses offer induction as a way to CYA with heavy doses of sexual harrassment, FERPA and ADA related training #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:05:16
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner What is a campus cultural induction? #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:05:44
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner I have not seen a formalized one of these; just PDFs or online training. Never seen in-person focus on this #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:06:31
@DrHepner	Any PD that is geared toward campus culture instead of true PD, such as where to park, where to make copies, etc.@JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:06:57
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner What do you mean by Adjunct Professional Development?  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:07:19
@JeffreyKeefer	I wonder if universities are expected to offer #adjunct PD, given how they are for-hire, PT workers, per se #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:08:14
@DrHepner	RT @DrHepner: @JeffreyKeefer “True PD” in terms of how to teach, classroom management, course delivery, etc… #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:08:52
@DrHepner	I’m not sure it’s expected, but it’s certainly valuable to ensure that they’re delivering a quality product. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:10:04
@AdjunctChat	#AdjunctChat on #adjunct Professional Development with @DrHepner is taking place now; all are welcome.	12/17/2013 16:10:19

@JeffreyKeefer	@IshaiBarnoy You are always welcome now (or to join later), though today’s topis on Professional Development is quite timely #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:13:15
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Welcome! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:13:24
@Comprof1	@DrHepner @JeffreyKeefer Actually most programs at our uni require teaching. Does 2 things: cheap labor and training for grads #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:13:27
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner Right 😉 As an educational researcher, you are speaking my language on PD! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:13:53
@Comprof1	@DrHepner @JeffreyKeefer Irony is that they don’t hire their own graduates for TT, only adjuncts. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:14:01
@DrHepner	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer I too taught in grad school, but I certainly wasn’t trained to teach before I started #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:15:25
@Comprof1	@DrHepner Our Teaching & Learning institute (PD) is expanding more & more. Some training still only TT. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:16:05
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner To your point, I learned to teach when I taught middle and high school! Uni is easy after that trail by fire! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:16:39
@Comprof1	@DrHepner Last year participated in flipped classroom training & received Ipad (to hand back when I leave) & $1000 grant at end #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:17:16
@DrHepner	I would love some flipped classroom training #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:17:46
@JeffreyKeefer	@rcbatp offered some interesting responses to @DrHepner’s questions for today’s  #adjunctchat at https://t.co/g8flRzcEhs	12/17/2013 16:18:20
@Comprof1	@DrHepner @JeffreyKeefer Think it depends on focus of school. Research uni’s tend not to focus on teachining. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:18:30
@DrHepner	#stlcc recently approved a project in which I offer online, informal PD.  There’s a lot of skepticism.  #adjunctchat #stlccadjunct	12/17/2013 16:18:51
@Comprof1	@DrHepner @JeffreyKeefer Also depends on dept. Some dept don’t care about teaching. Mine (comm) does. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:19:10
@DrHepner	My vision is to offer light PD and create more of a community for adjuncts and perhaps a primer to PD offered on campus.  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:19:44
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @DrHepner At NYU I teach in the School of Continuing and Professional Studies, though all my classes are grad courses #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:20:07
@melovell	#adjunctchat Dropping in to say hi. My professional development in teaching was mostly accessed through my doctoral uni where I taught too.	12/17/2013 16:20:09
@Comprof1	@DrHepner We had a workshop, then one on one meetings w/ learning experts, class observation, feedback, then final reflection. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:20:18
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner Your vision for this in what way, standards or coursework or something else? #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:20:34

@Comprof1	@DrHepner They also offer Team Based learning workshops, online course dev, and research workshops for ALL faculty (& TA’s). #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:21:22
@melovell	#adjunctchat We were taught course design, assessment, some pedagogical theory, reflective practice and had access to a teaching mentor.	12/17/2013 16:22:09
@DrHepner	@Comprof1 Wow!  My research, which focused on community colleges, found little to no PD for adjuncts.  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:22:15
@JeffreyKeefer	I am surprised that national #adjunct trainings or certifications or standards have not been developed #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:22:22
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @DrHepner Do you have observations? I haven’t in the last 10 yrs until last yr w/ flipped classroom. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:22:35
@DrHepner	I found a lot of complaints about recurring sexual harassment training and speeches on campus safety.  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:23:08
@melovell	@JeffreyKeefer Always a slightly guilty pleasure at this time of day (8am) but I like to make it when I can. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:23:26

@rcbatp	@JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat — I try to move from gut reaction to synthesis in the doc — “you’re joking, right?” = actual quote from admin	12/17/2013 16:27:14
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner It reminds me of a doctoral course I teach @paceuniversity – Teaching and Learning in Advanced Practice Nursing #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:27:57
@JeffreyKeefer	@rcbatp You captured the title right on the head! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:28:16
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer But many Phd programs are including comprehensive teaching training. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:28:22
@DrHepner	@rcbatp Imagine the reactions when I proposed informal, online PD for adjuncts.  “You’re joking, right?” would have been kind. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:28:36
@JeffreyKeefer	RT @DrHepner My recent study found that adjuncts are DESPERATE for some sort of PD…  any PD!  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:28:54
@melovell	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer Yes probably equivalent to your TA training though we don’t have TAs here #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:29:12
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner What was the context for your #adjunct PD study? #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:29:26
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @DrHepner @paceuniversity We also used to have paid “meetings” at one uni I taught at w/ majority adjuncts. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:29:28
@DrHepner	@Comprof1 Comprehensive teaching training in PhD programs is a growing trend. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:29:34
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Perhaps, though I have not experienced it #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:29:49
@DrHepner	RT @DrHepner: @JeffreyKeefer We sought to discover whether quality/quantity of adjunct PD impacted job satisfaction. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:30:48
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 @DrHepner Both unis where I teach have #adjunct unions, and one specifies meetings and such #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:30:56
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @DrHepner @paceuniversity It was an online uni so “meetings” were really PD Had mentors/advisors for tech/teach #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:31:05
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner @Comprof1 I would love to teach in one of those! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:31:24
@melovell	@JeffreyKeefer At the other uni where I taught there was a fullday paid workshop to orient & provide guidance to new teachers. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:31:49
@DrHepner	What would you ask for if your dean/vpaa offered to grant your one PD request?  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:32:32
@melovell	@DrHepner That’s disappointing. You’d think they’d want high quality teaching. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:33:00
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @DrHepner Problem is ONLY TT are expected to teach those courses/mentor. This is where adjuncts are excluded. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:33:07
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @DrHepner But if majority of adjuncts are now teaching undergrad, why not pay them to observe TA’s #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:33:49
@DrHepner	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer We have a very comprehensive training program for TT faculty here, but adjuncts are excluded #adjunctchat.	12/17/2013 16:34:14
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @DrHepner Or better yet, for lrg classes give adjuncts a TA to take pressure off and make available for students #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:34:57
@DrHepner	What would you ask for if your dean/vpaa offered to grant your one PD request?  Flipped classroom training for me! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:35:06
@Comprof1	@DrHepner Teaching Phd students and dissertation advisement. Difficult because I TAUGHT education classes. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:36:36
@Comprof1	@DrHepner Have to say that our teachng/lrng institute does a great job. Check out the options http://t.co/YsUhYSP8eb #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:38:33
@DrHepner	@Comprof1 I was very lucky in that my uni had a great system of dissertation advisement/completion.  I use all they taught me! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:38:36
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner I am not sure if I want those specs; seems like more unpaid work  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:38:40
@Comprof1	@DrHepner I can also learn any new tech w/ training prog offered every semester. Problem is no tech INFRASTRUCTURE after trng #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:40:18
@DrHepner	I wondered with my study @JeffreyKeefer whether the adjuncts wanted more PD or community. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:41:49
@DrHepner	@Comprof1 Unusable training? #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:42:46
@Comprof1	@DrHepner At least it keeps my skills current as I look for jobs OUTSIDE of Academia. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:44:16
@DrHepner	When I worked in a prison, we trained inmates to be barbers, but felons could not get a barber license upon release. #adjunctchat @Comprof1	12/17/2013 16:44:27
@Comprof1	@DrHepner @JeffreyKeefer What were the results? #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:44:37
@Comprof1	I think this snow is slowing down my computer connection. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:45:20
@DrHepner	@Comprof1 @JeffreyKeefer adjuncts seem to be desperate for both.  They hate PCP! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:46:09
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner Now that can be for a next step in the study! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:46:21
@DrHepner	PCP = Parking lot, Classroom, parking lot #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:46:35
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 Alas, I am noticing a slowdown as well #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:46:40
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner PCP? #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:46:50
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner I do see a connection; I have worked in the organizational instructional design area professionally for years #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:47:26
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner I also do some consulting in online communities, and think there is a wealth of opportunities in those spaces #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:48:09
@DrHepner	@JeffreyKeefer I like the way you think! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:48:11
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner Got it.  #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:48:19
@JeffreyKeefer	@Comprof1 That is increasingly a concerns of those in HE, alas. . . #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:48:58
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner In that case, I should work for you!; Most people just do not connect those dots!! #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:49:39
@DrHepner	Have we exhausted the subject? @jeffreykeefer #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:50:02
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner I am going to need to get off in a few moments, but have a last question for you #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:50:16
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner What do you see for your next personal / professional / academic steps in this area? #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:50:41
@Comprof1	@JeffreyKeefer @DrHepner I think observations & individual meetings are scary but  useful if used as formative (not summative) #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:50:53
@DrHepner	I think I will explore this PD/community link some more.  What do adjuncts really want? @JeffreyKeefer #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:51:51
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner In what capacity? #AdjunctChat	12/17/2013 16:52:57
@melovell	@JeffreyKeefer Most of my pd is self directed these days. I especially use the internet including blogs from academics. #adjunctchat	12/17/2013 16:53:43
@JeffreyKeefer	@DrHepner Where can we follow your work or read more about it or keep up with it?  #AdjunctChat	12/17/2013 16:54:01
