This workshop has been designed for those of you who are teaching both online or in-person and are looking to create more attractive course pages that are more visually accessible, align with an instructional flow, and embed interactive and engaging multimedia components.

The purpose of this workshop is two-fold: demonstrating effective instructional strategies for a D2L learning environment, and also functioning as a tutorial on how to place and use multimedia tools to enhance your virtual classroom experience and create interactive opportunities for your students.

As a bonus, we’ll share files and templates to bring these components directly into your own courses. 

This workshop will be delivered through Zoom and will be recorded. The Zoom join link will be provided to registrants before the event.

Because assessment of writing can be a time-intensive task, instructors may be reluctant to incorporate writing in their courses, so this workshop focuses on efficient assessment of writing. Topics covered include effective rubric models and grading strategies.

Together in this (approximately) 5-hour course you will explore different activities used during online teaching and learning, and will consider ways that we can assess learning through technology.

This short course is a combination of online self-directed study through D2L (February 5 2023), and synchronous delivery through Zoom (February 6, 2023). It is recommended that you allocate approximately 2.5 hours each of the two course days to engage in activities.

Registration is limited to 12 participants and is for Lakehead University faculty and teaching staff. This course runs February 5 and 6 2023.  Additional details will be provided to registrants prior to February 1, 2023.

Spice up your lectures with interactive strategies and tech tools. Create a sense of community in your classroom and gather assessment data using the strategies and apps discussed in this workshop.
