SUMMARY:CFSD 2024-2025 Fellows Presentation Luncheon (part 2)
DESCRIPTION:A Digital Assessment Tool Supporting Reflection and Peer Review 
 of Multimodal Assignments\nOlivia G. Stewart and Ekaterina Midgette\, The 
 School of Education\, Education Specialties \n\nAssessing multimodal 
 assignments that extend meaning-making beyond the linguistic mode remains a 
 persistent challenge for educators. This presentation introduces a 
 critical\, student-centered assessment tool designed to support intentional 
 multimodal composition through structured self-reflection and peer review. 
 Drawing on implementation across two graduate-level education courses\, the 
 presenters examine how the tool supports instructors’ assessment 
 practices and how students perceive its role in shaping their design 
 choices\, understanding of multimodal literacy\, and criticality. Attendees 
 will gain practical insights into designing and implementing multimodal 
 assessment tools in virtual learning environments.\n\nGlobal Application 
 from Nanotechnology: Inclusion in STEM Program to Benefit Community\nSmita 
 Guha\, The School of Education\, Curriculum and 
 Instruction\n\nNanotechnology serves as a powerful gateway to deepen 
 student engagement in STEM.\n\nBy introducing concepts such as 
 nanomedicine\, energy innovation\, and consumer product applications\, we 
 help students see the real-world relevance of science and its potential to 
 improve lives. This fellowship from the Center of Faculty Success and 
 Development had given me the opportunity to present and learn through 
 International Exchange of Professionals on nanotechnology\, held at the 
 14th Annual World congress on Nanoscience and technology\, held at Kobe\, 
 Japan on May 12-14\, 2025.\n\nScience for Non-Science Majors: Staying at 
 the Research Forefront\nMichael Zheng\, St. John's College of Liberal Arts 
 and Sciences\, Core Studies\n\n\n\nSponsored by the Fellow program\, 
 attendance at QIP 2025 (the largest quantum information conference\, 
 celebrating quantum mechanics' centenary) enabled direct engagement with 
 frontier research in quantum algorithms\, cryptography\, and error 
 correction. This exposure ensures that non-STEM science courses incorporate 
 contemporary developments rather than solely historical content\, 
 increasing student relevance and engagement. The teaching approach employs 
 POGIL (Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning) methods with hands-on 
 demonstrations to make quantum concepts accessible. This pedagogy has 
 yielded peer-reviewed publications and\, most importantly\, inspired 
 creative student projects reflecting quantum understanding that exceeded 
 instructor expectations—demonstrating how frontier research integration 
 fosters critical thinking across diverse disciplines.
