[Pols-l] FW: Workshop on Creating Online Elements for Courses

[Pickerel, Linda M.]

The Center for Teaching Excellence and the Center for Online and Distance Learning will offer a hands-on workshop from 1 to 4 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11, in Budig 6, for instructors interested in creating online elements for flipped, hybrid and online courses.

It will begin with a discussion of topics like videos and podcasts for classes, adaptive release of course materials, online communication with students, online practice quizzes, discussion boards, interactive modules for Blackboard, and other forms of digital instruction. The goal is to improve student learning by leveraging effective digital course components to encourage student engagement, providing instructors with alternatives to lecture. After discussion about best practices for creating online course material, participants will work with staff members from CODL and CTE to begin creating that material.

Anyone interested in participating should RSVP to Judy Eddy (jeddy at ku.edu<mailto:jeddy at ku.edu>) with the following information:
• Name
• Course you are teaching
• Goal or goals you wish to
accomplish with the online course material.
• A specific topic or area you wish to address in the workshop (a module, an assignment, etc.), along with information about how you are approaching this now. Providing those materials ahead of time will increase the likelihood of completing a component that day.

Questions? Contact Doug Ward at dbward at ku.edu<mailto:dbward at ku.edu>.

Happy Holidays,
Judy
