Operation Monserrat – An Active Learning Simulation
12:00 PM–4:30 PM | Omaha Marriott Downtown at the Capitol District, Meet at the SCUP Registration Desk
Presented by: Nancy Sturm, Principal, The Sextant Group, Inc.
This half-day program examines student-centered planning through a highly engaged live simulation. In order to understand student-centered learning, it is very helpful to experience it. This live simulation is developed around a live event using real NASA data. Please join us for an exciting educational experience you will remember long after it is over.
The Scenario: A hurricane and a volcano threaten an island population. The attendees, working in teams, determine the best strategies to help them evacuate. Live NASA engineers, weather scientists, and other authorities from around the globe contribute to the authenticity (and impact) of the experience via live satellite feeds and web conferences. Teams are assigned specific roles to devise strategies, react to unforeseen events, and oversee all the logistics of rescuing those in the path of destruction.
The process of placing workshop attendees into the role of student and then of facilitator plunges participants into an environment that substantiates how powerful active learning can be.
The Active Learning Workshop will be held at Metropolitan Community College Ft. Omaha Campus. The workshop bus will pick up from and return to the Marriott Downtown Omaha.
Learning Outcomes
- Engage in an active learning environment as a learner through a live simulation and learn strategies to transfer the experience to your practice.
- Recognize the role of competency-based activities in teaching strategies.
- Explore and participate in how technology tools encourage global communication.
- Analyze how space dictates teaching strategies and encourages collaboration

We will discuss a computational metrics mobile app and how Miami University uses it for its master plan. With practical tools and processes in hand, you will be able to prioritize available data, make more informed planning decisions, and align your team before executing future planning priorities on your campus.
Learning Outcomes
- Describe how a master planning process built on historic data can help you assess critical needs based on actual results before projects are initiated.
- Review your built environment data to determine the pertinent information that can help you make decisions about future planning and projects.
- Describe planning processes and tools that can turn raw data into powerful, predictive information for future planning.
- Explain the benefits of using computational metrics and predictive analytics in planning and design for the built environment.

11:00 AM–12:15 PM | Omaha Marriott Downtown at the Capitol District, Capitol Ballroom 2
Presented by: Michael Haggans, Visiting Scholar, Center for 21st Century Universities, Georgia Institute of Technology
Until recently, the campus and the institution were the same organisms, as shell and snail. The campus was an analog reflection of the institution’s mission and scale. Mission was linked to place and size of place linked to scale. The institution required physical places for all its students, faculty, and staff. This link began to fray in the last decade of the 20th Century, as the placeless, non-physical potential of a digital world became more obvious and increasingly functional. What are the physical consequences of these fraying relationships? How must campuses adapt? What remains after the environmental forces of a digital world
Learning Outcomes
- Identify and understand the meaning of digital transformation for Higher Education
- Respond to the facilities consequence of this transformation
- Become more comfortable with the changing significance of the physical campus
- Recognize the enduring value of the physical campus
