We are very excited to invite you to the Summer Institute for Distance Learning and Instructional Technology (SIDLIT “Side Light”) 2024 Annual Conference, which will be held on July 29-31, 2024 in Kansas City, Kansas. This year marks the 25th anniversary of SIDLIT, and we have prepared a special program to celebrate this milestone. For the first time ever, our physical location this year is: The University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC), 3901 Rainbow Blvd., Kansas City, KS, 66160 – or join us virtually!
The theme of SIDLIT 2024 is “Lensing the Past, Zooming In on the Present, Developing Future Passions for Learning.” We will explore together how we can use the lessons learned from the past, the challenges, opportunities, and innovations of the present, and the emerging trends of the future to enhance our online learning and instructional design practices. We will also collaborate on how we can foster and activate a passion for lifelong learning among ourselves and our students.
Commitment to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility

Formal debriefing provides the opportunity for reflection and identification of lessons learned. The department of Nursing Practice, Research, and Professional Development (NPRPD) at The University of Kansas Health System has implemented a post initiative debriefing process to facilitate process improvement in departmental workflows. Initiatives requiring a debriefing are identified by departmental leadership and assigned to the nursing professional development specialist serving as the department debriefing lead. The debriefing lead schedules a virtual debriefing meeting, ideally within 2 weeks of completion of the project. All individuals involved in the creation and dissemination of project related education are included in the post initiative debriefing. Participants complete a pre-debriefing survey ranking the following topics using a Likert scale from very poor to excellent: leadership & team, communication, policies/procedures/protocols, event/initiative environment, equipment & supplies, content, dissemination strategy, evaluations, and the overall initiative. Responses are compiled and averaged to serve as a discussion guide during the debriefing. During the debriefing, specific examples of success and opportunities for each of the topics in the pre-survey are discussed by the team and detailed notes are taken by the debriefing lead. Following the discussion of each topic, the participants anonymously vote to assign a score to the topic using the same Likert scale used in the pre-survey. At the completion of the debriefing meetings notes are uploaded to the NPRPD department SharePoint, allowing all department team members access to review and apply any lessons learned from past projects to their current and future projects. The use of a formalized debriefing process has highlighted workflow improvement opportunities resulting in improved processes within and professional development offerings provided by the NPRPD department.
