Margaret Roth, Yet Analytics, Sehreen Noor Ali, Noodle 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Implementation Bracing for Campus Carry in the Lone Star State Hilton | Salon H | Policy Forum As of August 1, handgun license holders in Texas can carry hand- guns on college campuses. Senate Bill 11, passed by the Texas Legis- lature in 2015, gives university presidents the authority to establish rules governing the campus carry, but lawmakers have been clear the intent of the law must be upheld. Many faculty, students and parents fear the consequences of guns on campus while others feel the law enables them to defend themselves in the event of a school shooting. What will the policies look like and how can Texas become a leader for other states implementing similar laws? Join us for a discussion on how schools are addressing safety issues, alleviating fears and implementing the new law. David Daniel, The University of Texas System, Steven Goode, The University of Texas at Austin, Jenny LaCoste-Caputo, The University of Texas System, Fernando Gomez, Texas State University System 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Data Analytics We Have Data—Now What? Insights to Interventions Hilton | Salon C | Panel | #usingdata Hosted by Strayer University: What if a simple intervention, a per- fectly timed email from a professor or a course schedule adjust- ment, could help a student persist and ultimately earn their college degree? An increasing number of higher education institutions are gathering mounds of data on student engagement, faculty and teaching processes and operational systems. This data is critical for dissecting breakdown moments and the appropriate layers of analysis and activity can drive meaningful changes. Hear from practitioners in higher education who have tested interventions leading to successful student outcomes and hear insights from leading experts in data-based behavior change from fields outside of higher education. Joe Schaefer, Strayer Education Inc 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Continuing Education Evolve or Die: Why Education Has to Change ACC | Room 18ABC | Featured | #evolve The landscape of higher education is quickly changing in the United States. The concept that a four-year degree guarantees a lifetime of success has been proven to be unrealistic in today's job market. How do learners gain the skills and access necessary to be a part of the technology sector? What does education need to look like to keep up with market demands? What will happen to universi- ties if they don't evolve? In this presentation, Jim Deters, CEO and co-founder of Galvanize, will explain the tectonic demographic shifts causing these changes, how education providers need to step up to meet market demands, and what modern education will look like in the coming decades. Jim Deters, Galvanize 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Implementation Robotics: The New Lettered Sport Hilton | Salon J | Panel | #RobotSport CPE Textbooks and theories will always be in science and engineering education, but they shouldn't be the only experience. If we want to inspire students in STEM and prepare them for future jobs, we have to provide hands-on experiences to keep them motivated. With the demand for impactful STEM programming in schools at an all-time high, states are starting to make robotics an official after-school program, similar to other popular programs. This panel of experts represents the tech industry, robotics and education. They will discuss the challenges and benefits of implementing competitive robotics programs state-wide and address how to keep the "robot- ics as a lettered sport" movement going strong. Ray Almgren, FIRST in Texas, John Sperry, Anderson High School, AISD, Morgan Smith, The Texas Tribune, Ray Hsu, National Instruments 5:00 PM - 5:15 PM Entrepreneurialism College, Career and Entrepreneur Ready ACC | Room 15 | Future15 | #startuplocal Nearly 40% of all students in grades 5-12 want to one day own a business. In order to meet this demand and prepare students to realize their entrepreneurial dreams, schools need to find innova- tive solutions to offer entrepreneurship education at scale with- out breaking the bank. During this session, you will learn how to implement one cost-effective solution that will reach and engage every student, while bridging the gap between your classrooms and community. Jason Stambaugh, LaunchGen 5:20 PM - 5:35 PM Cognitive Process Media Design for Learners Using Multimedia Theory ACC | Room 15 | Future15 We're going to delve into the learning science literature to talk about ways in which we can create educational media using learning science theory to best engage the cognitive processes of our learners. Specifically, we'll talk about the objectives of learning science in digital learning and four principles that will inform and guide the development of online educational multimedia. Aaron Dewald, SJ Quinney College of Law-University of Utah 5:40 PM - 5:55 PM Instructional Strategies Why Students Will Love Math by 2020 ACC | Room 15 | Future15 | #Mathin2020 "I am just not a math person." You've either said it or you've heard it and cringed. The negativity around mathematics has a lot to do with how we have traditionally presented the subject to our kids. The future of education is going to have a big impact on how students engage with and relate to math. Join us to talk about what math education will look like in 2020 and why more and more students will be proud to be "math people."
