What Faculty Are Saying About LEAD 184
What Faculty Are Saying About LEAD 184
On how we approach tech exploration:
"This course helped me to move out of my comfort zone and explore a range of apps that can help promote student learning."
"This course helped me look at course technology in a playful manner, to just experiment and try. May not sound like much, but tech can be overwhelming and intimidating."
"This course helped me to finally try some things I've been thinking about for a long time."
On our cross-disciplinary, all modality approach:
"I learned a lot about the different tools available to us for use in our online, hybrid, face-to-face, and HyFlex modalities to encourage student engagement. Thank you!"
"I gained an idea of what is available to use when we do online classes. This has been a struggle for me and other nursing instructors .... I have found all of these classes helpful."
"This course encouraged me to dive in and explore tools for math classes that I have been wanting to try. I was able to learn how to create an H5P Interactive Book, use PPT and Panopto to create an Instructor Introduction Video, use Mentimeter to create a one question 1st day of class ice breaker ... and ... use MS Whiteboard and Panopto to create a playlist."
Formal Course Description
Formal Course Description
This practicum provides educators with hands-on experience using the latest tools available within and through Brightspace D2L. While exploring the broad variety of innovations within D2L, participants will practice using advanced tools from both the instructor and student perspectives. Amidst these LAB activities, participants will routinely reflect on how these tools might support their goals for quality online learning. Participants will also examine the pros and cons of advanced design practices, with attention to both student and faculty needs. For our culminating project, participants will demonstrate and evaluate the advanced use of one or several of the D2L Brightspace and integrated third-party tools within their discipline. Included in that project will be a draft conference proposal to encourage the practice of presenting their work locally, regionally and nationally to advance excellence in online teaching and learning.
