Hello Bb Users,
The Instructional Advancement Center is offering a course on the following:
Title: Bad Practices in TEL: Don't Focus on the Goal
Presenter: Bill Vilberg, Instructional Advancement Center
Dates: Friday, February 24, 2012 and/or Friday March 9, 2012
Time: 2:30 pm – 4:00 pm (Same time frame for both dates)
Room: Richter Library, Faculty Exploratory, Room 305
With years of experience with technology enhanced learning (TEL), we can now identify some of the things NOT to do. This workshop will focus on one of the Bad Practices: not focussing on the goal. We will demonstrate examples of this bad practice, with an emphasis on the Blackboard class web site system. We will discuss ways to avoid this problem. You will get hands on training, in Blackboard, on techniques that that can overcome this Bad Practice. The goal is to make sure that you are using Good Practices.
The strategy is to make sure you recognize the Bad Practices and learn the techniques to avoid them. Technology can enhance learning when it is used appropriately, or interfere with learning when used inappropriately. This will be a collaborative workshop, on creating learning materials that help students focus on goals. Participation is limited. Sign up is REQUIRED. Sign up by going to iacevents.org and clicking on the session title. For questions or accommodations, contact Kelley Seaman at k.seaman@miami.edu or 305-284–2008.
