Do We Practice What We Preach? An Exploration of Wellness
In a world and profession that seems to demand more and more of ourselves, it can seem that these increasing pressures can leave us feeling a bit empty and run down. Keeping up with the fast pace of academia can lead to issues of self-esteem and self-confidence. Examining these factors can help us to understand how we can continue to do what we love, with confidence and keep up our self-esteem in order to avoid burnout.
It is vital to understand the contributing factors to create an environment that is more conducive to genuineness, confidence, and enhanced self-esteem. The factors that play into wellness and burnout might not be the same across settings in relation to teaching location, for example, online versus in-seat. Thus, it is important that we look at unique factors in each setting to enhance ourselves and our team as educators.
The goal of this presentation is to educate professionals of the factors that influence burnout and wellness, learn how to adjust our own work to lessen the impact of burnout factors and increase wellness, and how to not lose ourselves in the process.

Learning to Fail with Immersive Technology: When Student Learning Outcomes Matter More Than Project Output
Through our work with students on virtual reality (VR) and immersive technology projects in traditionally non-technical courses, our goal has been to shift the focus from students completing polished VR spaces to students learning from the nuanced choices and the mistakes they make in the process. While our students have expressed that they learn the most from their mistakes, the fear of failing an assignment can cause anxiety and stress and even stop their willingness to experiment outside of their comfort zone.
This session will focus on techniques and approaches for planning assignments that focus on learning outcomes through experimentation and creation, and how to work through student barriers caused by FONMI and fear of failure. We will share examples from our experiences and invite others to discuss their experiences as well. Our co-presenter, Denison student Ronald Tran, will share insights on working with these technologies from the student perspective. Sample assignments and planning documents will be available for session attendees.
