Appealing to visual and experiential learners online.
Last week at the Texas Distance Learning Association, we gave a presentation to a room of over fifty educators and faculty developers from Texas and surrounding states. We had a lot of fun and the presentation was well-received. The following Scribd document captures what we did, leveraging two free web-based platforms to appeal to students who tend to learn more quickly visually and/or experientially. Today’s Teaching Well Using Technology workshop reviewed tools referenced below (Cool Iris, Google Street View) and more (SlideShare, Google Docs). If you missed today’s workshop, we hope to see you in another session soon. If you have questions about effectively using technology in the classroom, or teaching in general, feel free to send us an e-mail!
First Day of Classes
Everyone here at the OEE hopes that you had a great break and we are really excited to welcome a new semester. We have a series of workshops designed to help faculty save time in their teaching and continue to develop effective learning environments. Please check our schedule and sign up! We are also available for confidential, individual consultations about any matter on teaching and learning at UT Dallas.
One of our workshops is on the importance of the first day of classes and the following SlideShare presentation offers a glimpse into what participants will work on/discuss in our session.
WebCT Handouts slowly becoming available
