Turnitin for Beginners
Have you been wanting to try Turnitin for a student research paper submission, but haven’t had the time to experiment with the program? Did you know that Turnitin is more than just a plagiarism prevention software? In fact, Turnitin is beneficial for both classroom and distance learning instruction for individual and/or group assignments in many different academic areas. This workshop is an opportunity to learn the basics of Turnitin and incorporate a “how to” guide for setting up and reviewing Turnitin assignments via your Blackboard course. There will also be an introduction to the Similarity Report, Grade Mark, Rubric, and Peer Mark features that go beyond just a plagiarism prevention tool.

Building Advisor Competency: Developing a Profession of Advising through Training, Development, and Scholarship (New!)
In the opening broadcast of this year’s Building Advisor Competency series in September, presenters discussed Facing Fear and Creating Our Best Professional Selves. In this NACADA webinar, commission members will build on that foundation and address concepts surrounding the development paths of academic advisors and the advancement of academic advising as a profession.
Our presenters will discuss what it means to be “a professional” in the academic advising field, including the characteristics and behaviors of an advising professional, and how progressive training and development of advisors (new, mid-level, advanced) and the scholarship of advising (i.e., service, presenting, teaching, publishing, research) contribute to this understanding. They will provide suggestions for how advisors can assess their current professional path and create a development path based on the recently developed NACADA Academic Advising Core Competencies Model. Existing NACADA resources designed to facilitate and improve training, development, and scholarship of academic advisors will be discussed.
Academic advisors of all experience levels will benefit from this engaging discussion and panel.
When: Wednesday, Nov. 15, 2-3:30 p.m.
Where: Marvin Library Multipurpose Room
Presenter: Karen Ferrer-Muniz
Certificate Credit: Academic Advising
