The Illinois State University Alumni Association believes in lifelong learning and career development even after graduation. Take advantage of these free webinars and live streams as they fit into everyday life to continue to learn and grow together as Redbirds. Be sure to register in advance to gain access to the webinar.Despite outperforming men academically, women often encounter significant setbacks early in their careers, a phenomenon McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez term “the broken rung.” This critical barrier occurs at the first step up to managerial roles, where the gender gap in promotions widens significantly.Join us for a compelling session that draws on over a decade of research and insights from more than fifty influential leaders. Discover the strategies that have helped many women climb over the broken rung and learn how to build valuable ‘experience capital’ to maximize your career growth and earning potential.

Students report that courses which incorporate instructor videos into their Canvas courses are much more engaging and effective than those containing only text and still images. In this workshop, you will learn how to build interactivity into your videos by inserting hyperlinks and test questions–turning videos into graded assignments. You can also create assignments where students can record videos within Canvas and submit them as gradable assignments in Canvas SpeedGrader. You can also create video-based discussion boards. This workshop assumes that you have attended the “Create Video Within Canvas” workshop or have used Canvas Studio. Registration is required.
