Community-Building in Online Courses Workshop
September 2 from 11am to 12:15pm on Zoom
Does teaching online feel like sending your syllabus into the void? Do you want your fully online students to feel like part of an inclusive, inviting learning community? Join Stacie Merken and Anna Michelle Martinez-Montavon on Zoom to add to your toolkit of techniques that create connection in fully remote classes. You’ll leave this session with a range of ideas and resources to start building online classrooms that have more of that in-person feel. Come prepared to apply these ideas to an online course you teach (whether live or asynchronous). Even if you don’t teach online, you’re welcome to join us and learn something new! To register, please email ucet@iusb.edu.

UCET Fall Book Groups
Radical Hope: A Teaching Manifesto by Kevin M. Gannon
The book-jacket blurb sums up the book nicely:
“In a time of precariously employed professors, crushing student debt burdens, and cynically manufactured campus outrages, Radical Hope is a much-needed practical and principled reminder of the promise and possibility of education for liberation.”
Nikhil Pal Singh, author of Race and America's Long War.
This book group is being led by Anna Michelle Martinez-Montavon and Jay VanderVeen. Join your colleagues in reading and discussion a Manifesto for our times. Contact ucet@iusb.edu to sign up. Meeting times and modality will be determined by participants. Free books for the first 10 participants to drop us a line.
Distracted: Why Students Can't Focus and What You Can Do About It by James M. Lang
Join Jay VanderVeen and Tammy Fong-Morgan to discuss Distracted: Why Students Can't Focus and What You Can Do About It. Keeping students focused can be difficult -- which is why a renowned educator created a scientific solution to one of every teacher's biggest problems. Contact ucet@iusb.edu to sign up. Meeting times and modality will be determined by participants. Free books for the first 10 participants to drop us a line.

New IU Bookstore Portal now live for purchasing Textbooks
Follett Discover — the digital portal for course material selection run by Follett Higher Education Group, which will soon be Indiana University’s new bookstore manager — is now active in One.IU.
This is the first step in a larger transition that will bring several bookstore enhancements for faculty, staff and students, including a streamlined course materials process; upgrades to the online IU store; and updates to physical retail locations on the IU Bloomington, IUPUI and regional campuses.
Here’s what the change means for faculty and staff who order course materials:
- Submit your class book order via the Follett Disc over portal, which went live March 31. Find the portal by searching “Order Texbooks/Course Materials (Faculty)” inside One.IU.
- Please note: If you’ve already placed an order for fall class through the Barnes & Noble portal, submit a new order through the Follett portal. However, you do not need to cancel any late-summer or fall orders submitted via Barnes & Noble.
Additional information is available in an FAQ, which will be updated throughout the transition process. Follett will also offer training and support, both virtually and in person. Further details will be shared once those training opportunities are available.
