Welcome to Flex Days, Fall 2013. In the schedule that follows you’ll find an incredible list of engaging
activities to improve teaching and learning at DVC. Enjoy browsing the Fall Flex schedule, and be sure to
register ahead of time for the workshops you plan on attending.
2013-14 Faculty Flex Obligations:
Full time faculty have a standardized Flex obligation: first-year probationary tenure track faculty
complete 50 hours of Flex in the Nexus program, second-year probationary tenure track faculty
complete 40 hours of Flex, and all faculty from their third year on have an obligation of 30 hours of Flex
annually.
Flex hours for part-time faculty are directly connected to compensation -- in order to be paid for an 18
week semester you need to work an 18 week semester. Adjunct Faculty Flex obligation is based on the
academic calendar, more specifically to the day of the week on which classes begin and end.
Part-time instructors (and fulltime faculty teaching AC) teaching a semester length class in Fall 2013
have a Flex obligation equal to the number of instructional hours teaching in a week on Mondays,
Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Teaching hours on Tuesdays and Wednesdays are not
included.
You may attend Flex activities at any of the three colleges (DVC, CCC, LMC & SRC) during August Flex
days or later in the semester. Your Flex activities must occur during the semester in which you owe Flex
hours. Flex forms are submitted to your dean for approval. Flex forms are linked to the Professional
Development webpage and posted on the u-drive.
Approved professional development activities that fulfill the Flex obligation are listed on
the online registration site:
https://insite.4cd.edu/webapps/staffdevelopment/WorkshopEnrollment/Default.aspx?campus=dvc
Additionally, there are lists of approved optional Flex activities by divisions and departments in this Flex
booklet, linked to the professional development Flex Information web page, and posted on the u-drive.

FA13-111: Education in Asia: What We Have Learned
10:00am-11:30am
Have you wondered about education in other countries? Or thought
about our foreign student’s experiences back home? It’s easy to find
statistics on student success (or lack thereof), but what’s behind those
numbers? What other factors might be at play?
Katrina and Tadashi have travelled to Asia nearly every year since 2004
and have heard stories of education that are heart-breaking, heartwarming and inspiring. In some countries, something as simple as not
owning a bicycle can stop a child’s education. In 2008, we decided to
put these stories in the form of a book. Thanks to Skyline College
granting Tadashi a sabbatical, we were able to spend a semester
overseas gathering these stories formally. Join us as we share what
have learned in India, Nepal, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam.
FA13-112: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Old Name, New Research, Best Resources
10:00am-12:00pm
Chances are you know someone with a very serious illness that has

between one and four million people in the U.S. have this debilitating
and potentially life-threatening illness. Come learn why the name of
this illness is changing, and learn about its link to viruses, genetics,
heart problems, cancer, migraines, gut problems and nervous system
disorders. You will leave with an appreciation of the complexity of this
illness, and with resources you can share with students, family and
colleagues.

FA13-120: Creating a college-wide Learning Community program at DVC
10:30am-12:00pm
With the Student Success Initiative, the new online Community College
Scorecard, and even the accreditation process emphasizing retention,
persistence, and data on student success, it's time to scale up Learning
Communities at DVC. We have lots of marvelous small-scale examples
in Puente, Umoja, the DVC Summer Institute, and others. Now we need
to go beyond individual Learning Community "programs" to a collegewide Learning Community Program that supports these and other
efforts to help our students succeed.
But how do we do this? Come to our flex workshop and let's figure it
out! We're looking for folks who think Learning Communities can make
a dramatic difference for our students and who are interested in
helping make them a bigger part of what we offer students.

discuss best practices, as guided by participant interest, and advice for
constructing your Syllabus.
FA13-125: “Raising teenagers is like…..”
1:00pm-3:00pm
Let’s think about completing that sentence:
“nailing jello to a tree…”
“running the million yard dash in clogs….”
“mopping up after the tsunami..”
Perhaps none of, or all of the above comes to mind. You get the idea.
Let’s take some time to talk about it all, and trade ideas, concerns,
triumphs, tales and new directions. After all, they’re what we spend
the other half of our waking day engaged in – and we’re not alone
when we have this many colleagues.
FA13-126: "Isn't It Just Good Teaching? Umoja Principles and Practices”
1:00pm-3:00pm
Umoja (a Kiswahili word meaning unity) is a learning community
dedicated to the academic success, personal growth, and self-
actualization of African American and other students. Umoja
values and practices are inspired by African and African American
intellectual, cultural, and spiritual gifts, and by the voices of people
from the African Diaspora, but can also be looked at as just good
teaching.

(D2L) for Online Students
10:00am-11:00am

interested in taking the 8-week, online course. Topics of discussion will
range from basic D2L questions to content overview for the course. The
nd
th
online course will run between September 2 – October 25 .
The combination of block scheduling, student scheduling demands
(work, family, class conflicts), and the trend of students (including basic
skills students) taking online classes all create a need for more flexible
methods of offering contact hours with students. This need can be met
through online office hours, online classes, and/or web-based delivery
of content for f2f/hybrid classes. To be effective in offering web-based
content and online office hours, we’ll look at a combination of best
practices for teaching online and useful software/approaches to
develop pedagogically sound content. To be efficient in organizing your
course, you’ll learn about and practice using the tools of the new,

district-wide course management system, Desire2Learn (D2L).
Ultimately, the focus of this course is to learn to be technologically
efficient when teaching, to apply current federal/state distance ed.
standards in your course design, and to design your course with best
practices in mind.

FA13-212: Current Issues in Curriculum
11:00am-12:00pm
Colleges throughout the state have been dealing with new regulations
regarding repeatability, associate degrees for transfer, C-ID. DVC is no
exception. This workshop will provide an update on the latest
regulations regarding curriculum, our ongoing work in developing
guidelines for the use of Advanced Placement for majors and
certificates, as well as procedural updates on the course substitution
policy. Deans, department chairs, curriculum committee members and
all other interested parties are encouraged to attend.

FA13-214: D2L - Spring 2014 Updates
11:00am-12:30pm
In this workshop I will highlight some of the minor changes to the
system (compare are present 10.0.10 version with this version 10.2)
and highlight the new features that will be available - better methods
for grading a quiz, expanded student progress reports, new discussion
group options, expanded features for iPad apps with TurnItIn and the
D2L Grader and Binder apps). As many of you have already gone
through training on D2L, know that the Course Builder and the rest of
the tools that you are familiar with are there, but have minor new
features added or a new way of accessing these tools/features. As I am
writing this workshop description, I have only looked at these features
in relation to the most common tools already covered in level 1, 2, and
3 trainings. Based on this, I have only seen minor changes to existing
tools along with good improvements with Email, Quizzes, Content
(Course Builder is the same), Discussions, and the Gradebook. As
instructors, you'll have the opportunity to load your present classes
into the new 10.2 environment in late-September/early October (this is
a test environment so no live students/classes) if you wanted a side-byside comparison.
