Course management systems, like Blackboard, have been identified as "mission-critical" for teaching and learning (ECAR, 2007, p.14).
The Center for Teaching and Learning and the Educational Technology Laboratory invite QC faculty to participate in a two-day workshop (spanning three days---see below) on the use of course management systems to enhance pedagogical objectives and facilitate course design and course delivery.
Joined by faculty who will share their expertise in teaching and technology with us, we will explore alternative models that facilitate or enhance content delivery, asynchronous collaboration, assignment submission, and student performance assessment. Participants will also work independently on designing components for a course of their choice, and will share their progress with the group.
The workshop involves two face-to-face sessions (in Razran Hall, rooms 318 and 360) on June 11 and June 13, scheduled from 10:30 AM to 5 PM; participants will work (remotely or in Razran 360) on June 12.
Participants will receive a $700 stipend. A light breakfast and a lunch will be served Wednesday and Friday.
Space is limited and seats will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis. To RSVP online, click on this link.
New faculty and faculty working on courses for the new general education curriculum are especially encouraged to participate.
Location: Razran Hall 318 and 360
