The Lt Brain Trust is where educators showcase and discuss educational practices, and it is a wonderful chance to interact with your peers. Brain Trust is virtual again this year and is always free! View last year's presentations here - and if you want to know more about Brain Trust in general, check out this blog.
Please see below for the timetables for each of the two days.

Day Two – 2nd (PDT) / 3rd (AEDT) November
Time | Duration | Session | |
|---|---|---|---|
2:30 pm PDT / | 30 minutes | Online Lesson Design: Content and MultimediaBryce Peebles - Instructional Designer, ADInstruments This session will cover tips and tricks to design engaging and sleek online lessons. We'll first cover what content to include and lesson structure before diving into how to use multimedia to provide a smooth learner experience. |
|
3:00 pm PDT / | 15 minutes | Peer Teaching Projects with Lt ResourcesBarb Goodman - Professor, University of South Dakota - Basic Biomedical Science Advanced undergraduates and occupational therapy doctoral students in my team-based, student-centered learning physiology classes do a number of Lt preclinical medicine experiments with Lt case studies. Sometimes I have half of the teams do one experiment and half of the teams do another experiment, before the students prepare a project to teach the other teams what they have learned. The peer teaching can take the form of either oral presentations or poster presentations. |

3:15 pm PDT / | 30 minutes | Promoting Student Learning and Engagement in Lt-based Introductory Chemistry LabsJamin Perry - Associate Professor of Chemistry, Baker University Molly Anderson - Assistant Professor of Laboratory Instruction, Baker University Kaitlynn Arnholt - North American Business Development Manager of Chemistry Education, ADInstruments Chemistry educators Jamin Perry and Molly Anderson (Baker University), together with Kaitlynn Arnholt (ADInstruments), will explore the successes and challenges of teaching introductory chemistry laboratories in the post-Covid world. This fireside chat-style talk will illustrate how aspects of the Lt Chemistry Collection (developed in partnership with Vernier® Science Education) help meet student needs through interactive chemistry lab experiments, hands-on activities, and group work. |

3:45 pm PDT / | 15 minutes | Antimicrobial Stewardship - Learning about Antibiotic PKPD through Simulations on LtLauren Smith - Professional Practice Fellow, The University Of Otago - School of Pharmacy Natalie Medlicott - Professor, The University Of Otago - School of Pharmacy Antimicrobial stewardship aims to increase the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents worldwide. Pharmacist training programmes and curricula devote considerable time to developing knowledge about antimicrobials, microorganisms, and designing effective dosing regimens. One type of antimicrobial stewardship intervention is optimizing dosing to increase efficacy and reduce the likelihood of resistance. We combined our antimicrobial stewardship (Lauren) and drug delivery (Natalie) expertise to develop a teaching session in Lt that utilizes dosing simulations and lets students see how changing dosages affect plasma concentrations, as well as the relationship to microorganism minimum inhibitory concentration. |
