ASU Learning Futures is a production studio through the University of Technology Office that imagines the future of learning three-to-five years into the future and creates platforms and experiences using extended reality (XR) technologies to make those learning experiences real. These technologies include but are not limited to VR headsets, mobile apps, and more!
We are excited to welcome the Fulton Schools community back to campus for the fall semester! Included below are a few tips and resources to start your semester successfully from the FSE Learning and Teaching Hub, or LTH.
Please join the Fulton Schools of Engineering Learning and Teaching Hub (LTH) for the inaugural Fulton Schools of Engineering Education Social, or SEEdS! We will have a keynote, lightning talks on engineering education topics and open up the event for networking time for the Fulton Schools community. Heavy appetizers and drinks will be served!
FSE Cloud Classroom is a virtual environment hosted in the cloud that provides Fulton Schools students with immediate access to the software used in many engineering courses directly from a browser window. The FSE Cloud Classroom runs in the cloud and is independent of your computer’s operating system so Windows-based software can be accessed on a Mac Laptop and vice versa!
Have you thought about what type of academic integrity culture exists in your course? Allotting time to share expectations, educate and inspire students to complete their studies with integrity is very important. It is no longer enough to just have an academic integrity statement in your syllabus.
This interactive session, led by Max Lushchan, director of customer success at Apporto, will give you everything you need to get off to a strong start this fall. In addition to best practices for enhancing the learning experience, this webinar will also cover advanced features, such as student impersonation, collaborative learning and virtual classrooms.
This event will include in-depth and interactive training for vital topics such as using the web portal, the Linux command line, the software module system, job submission, job benchmarking, job profiling, job monitoring, tools for submitting a large number of jobs, as well as how to leverage hardware such as graphics processing units (GPUs) and high memory nodes.
Your academic discipline and course content will evolve and change over time. The variety and types of students that you educate are limitless. What will never change is the need for graduates who display both competency and character. Academic integrity is a framework for any student’s future professional ethic. While we have an obligation to prepare students for successful futures in their chosen disciplines, let’s not forget our ability to positively impact students in the character realm as well.
Alicia Baumann and Haolin Zhu, senior lecturers in the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering, have implemented gamification elements into their engineering courses. Baumann and Zhu added challenges throughout the semester and in different media formats to engage their students’ own learning and motivate them to master course concepts.

The FSE Learning and Teaching Hub has created a variety of Quick-Reference Guides (QRGs) for common teaching tasks and challenges. Think of the QRGs as condensed highlights on educational topics, meant to offer just-in-time learning to quickly implement pedagogical strategies and provide additional resources for learning.
Alexandra Mehlhase is a software engineering faculty member at the Polytechnic campus who has created a Slackbot called “SparkyBot” to create more engaging, organized discussions in Slack.
Have you thought about what type of academic integrity culture exists in your course? Allotting time to share expectations, educate and inspire students to complete their studies with integrity is very important. It is no longer enough to just have an academic integrity statement in your syllabus. Internal reflection on the culture you want to foster in your class, followed by proactive and consistent communication, can go a long way toward inspiring students to make good decisions. The development of a positive class culture is highly individualistic but here are a few tips for consideration:
MediaPlus will replace MediaAMP/Modalis as the media delivery platform for ASU. Faculty and staff will not need to re-upload or transfer those resources themselves. All existing media, videos and transcripts in MediaAMP are being copied and saved and will begin to appear in MediaPlus in early December. All existing links to MediaAmp content within Canvas will be automatically transitioned to MediaPlus.
Ryan Meuth and Phill Miller are senior lecturers under the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence who have been creatively reimagining their approach to teaching and learning in the CSE 110: Principles of Programming course.
