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 week-long 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.
More
than Just Text Online: Creating an Interactive Course Website
This
seminar will focus on how technology enables the teaching and learning
process. Using your course syllabus as a starting point, we will work
to match technology solutions to needs identified in your course goals
and objectives. We will also explore ways in which the use of technology
can enhance a challenging concept or idea for students to comprehend.
We will work through the process of creating a course website that
addresses these teaching and learning goals by including interactive
components, media elements and content resources.
Goal
The
goal of the "More than Just Text Online" 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:
- Identify
technology solutions to needs identified in course goals and objectives,
- Apply
“good design” concepts such as consistent navigation,
color selection, file formats and readability to your course website,
-
Incorporate at least one new interactive technology enhanced activity
into your course curriculum,
- Have
a better understanding of considerations regarding intellectual
property and copyright,
- Identify
campus resources to support your teaching,
and
- Design
and establish your course web presence.
