[BB] Engage your students with NBC Learn videos

If you have time on Wednesday or Thursday to attend the NBC Learn event for your area or one of the general sessions, I encourage you to do so. This is a great way to engage your students in your class content by having them watch short videos. NBC Learn is directly integrated into Blackboard.

 - Bill - 

 
The University of Miami has full access to NBC Learn Higher Ed, which is an online resource of over 17,000 pieces of instructional material spanning 80 years of television.  UM Libraries has scheduled an on-site training on Wednesday and Thursday, December 3 and 4. Participants will learn to explore this engaging resource and share best practices for integrating video into face-to-face or blended instruction. NBC Learn features robust searching, browsing and filtering tools to aid research and inquiry-based discovery. UM faculty, students, and staff will have complete access to resources 24/7 from school and from home.
 
Please join us for a hands-on and informative session on how NBC Learn can be used in your classes and course development. You can register for one or multiple subject area sessions or one of the general sessions. Drop-ins are welcome depending on space availability.
 
Workshops will be held at Richter Library, room 344. NBC Learn can be found in the library database list under "N" or on the UM Blackboard homepage.
