This session will present two faculty approaches to working with open and affordable educational materials. Half of the session will focus on potential sources of OER materials for Math and Statistics courses, while the other half will discuss the structure and benefits of forming a community of practice among your peers to support and explore your work with OAER.
Reflective teaching involves using reflection techniques to convey, analyze, and deliver information, in the goal of generating feedback. In this session, you will hear how reflective teaching is used to increase student engagement with each other, with learning content, and with the instructor.
Join us to learn creative ways of using Adobe Spark Post and Video for both course content assessment and student reflection. This session may be of interest to faculty who are seeking new ways to: engage and assess students, ease students' transition back to the classroom with online activities, and/or reduce the time spent reviewing student work.
Google Docs can be a powerful tool to teach writing, both face to face and remotely. Now that so many people are familiar with them, it's the perfect time to capitalize on Google Docs advantages.
