To
enable Arts and Humanities faculty
(or faculty/graduate student teams)
to reach their instructional and research
goals, the College is offering the
Seminar for Teaching
and Research, STaR, series. During these
sessions of training and development,
faculty will focus on an individual
content track
which will then be supported throughout
the academic year with electives and
office-hours.
Focus
on the Fall:
Technology
Building Blocks
to Enhance
Your Course
During
this hands-on workshop you will develop
materials for your fall course, and you
will be exposed to many of the resources
and options available to ARHU faculty
to integrate technology into the teaching
and learning process. Although
all faculty are welcome, we are targeting
faculty who are new to the UM campus to give
them the opportunity to learn how we do things
here.
Goal
The
goal of the "Focus
on the Fall: Technology Building Blocks
to Enhance Your Course" STaR is to give you the opportunity to develop or
enhance online course materials for an upcoming course. Whether you
already have a course website online or just a paper syllabus this
workshop will help you get ready for the upcoming semester.
Objectives
This
seminar is a mix of concept introduction, skill development and lab
time. After completion of this seminar you will be able to:
-
Post course materials for your students
using ELMS,
- Schedule equipment for use in your Classroom
- Establish a communication strategy for your course,
- Identify images available through ArtStor for use
in your course,
- Become familiar with the capabilities of Research
Port,
- Begin Course Administration with UMEG, and
- Identify the many resources Available to ARHU Faculty
Who
Can Participate
Faculty
in the College of Arts and Humanities
are invited to participate in STaR.
We are restricting class size to 10
participants so that you will receive
the support needed to not only gain
skills but to complete work for an
upcoming course. Graduate Students
may participate if a faculty-partner
participates with them. Please contact
us for more information on this option.
