We are FSU! #FSUnited

We recognized the strength of unity in the Florida State University community after the library incident. Last Thursday, FSU students, faculty, alumni, and staff gathered around the Integration Statue on the FSU main campus and united with candles held. The event concluded with the FSU Marching Chiefs playing the "Hymn to the Garnet and Gold." FSU students, faculty, alumni, and staff sang together for the victims.






Positive thoughts and best wishes were reached out to everyone there. And it was certainly extended to all those affected by the incident. We kept extending the sentiments to everyone through diverse FSU communication tools. We felt again we always have a family that supports us here, at Florida State.  We are returning to our routines with the strong strength of FSU unity. 


The Counseling Center at the Askew Student Life Building provides counseling and further supports for FSU students, faculty, and staff affected by the events.Should anyone need such services, please contact the center (850-644-2003).

Congratulations! Dr. Darabi to Play a Major Instructional Design Role in a Multi-Million Dollar Project



Congratulations! Dr. Aubteen Darabi to Play a Major Instructional Design Role in a Multi-Million Dollar Project Aimed at Realigning Philippine’s Universities’ Engineering Curricula with the Needs of Industry and Business 


Research Triangle International was the recipient of a $32 million grant from the US Agency for International Development aimed at Science, Technology, Research, and Innovation Development (STRIDE). Among the collaborating universities for securing this grant, the FSU’s Learning System Institutes (LSI) received $1.4 million of funding to improve the Philippines’ workforce development initiatives and realign their universities’ engineering curricula to be more responsive to the industry needs.

As the Co-PI of this project Dr. Darabi is leading the project’s instructional design efforts, the results of which will feed into the establishment of a Professional Science Master’s Degree. Dr. Jeff Milligan of LSI, the PI of the project, and other faculty from FSU are leading the workforce development efforts and establishment of career centers across Philippines.

This fall Dr. Darabi visited four of the major universities in manila and introduced the engineering deans, chairs, and teaching faculty to the concepts and principles of Human Performance Technology (HPT) and the Instructional Systems and presented a framework for this initiative. Three of the universities agreed to participate in the project: De La Salle University, Technological Institute of the Philippines, and Ateneo de Manila University.

Between now and his next visit in March of 2016, Dr. Darabi will be working with the faculty and administrators of the participating universities to identify and analyze programs’ courses, competencies, learning and performance objectives, instructional strategies and sequence of the course content as currently offered. In March 2015, Darabi will revisit the programs and conducts several workshops leading the teaching faculty and the industry experts to review the results of this analysis for identified programs. In these workshops, considering the desired marketable qualifications of programs’ graduates, the faculty/industry teams will revise the curricula according to requirements of the job market and industry needs.

An evaluation and assessment workshop has been tentatively scheduled for August of 2015 to assess the universities implementation of the revised curricula and its progress.

Congratulations! Dr. Dennen receive 2013-2014 Distance Learning Awards

Congratulations to Dr. Vanessa Dennen who has received two Distance Learning Awards:

  • Excellence in Online Teaching 
  • Innovative and Effective Use of Technology

The Distance Learning Award for Excellence in Online Teaching acknowledges recent online courses that display online teaching strategies that engage students as learning partners. After reviewing Dennen's teaching evaluations, support materials, and online course site for EME 6635 - MOOCs and Open Learning (spring, 2014), a committee of FSU faculty members chose Dennen as a recipient of the 2013-2014 award.

“The Distance Learning Award for Innovative and Effective Use of Technology recognizes recently implemented technology with a positive impact on student learning and motivation and which facilitates instructional delivery, is easily disseminated, and provides a reasonable return on investment,” said Rudasill. Dennen’s work in the course, EME 6635 – MOOCs and Open Learning, led the committee of FSU faculty to select her as an award recipient.

Dennen’s awards will be presented at the 2014 Distance Learning Awards on Friday, November 14, 2014.
