In this interactive workshop, you will learn how you can use a Microsoft Teams classroom to organize course materials, engage students, and communicate with your class. With guided instruction, participants will set up a Teams classroom, consider how they will organize their classroom space using channels, and practice communicating in Teams.

In this two-hour workshop, participants will be introduced to Moodle quizzes.  Topics will include creating various types of quiz questions, creating and sharing question banks, and tips for effectively administering Moodle quizzes.  This is a hands-on workshop.  By the end of the session, participants will have created a Moodle quiz for one of their fall classes.

The board at the front of our classroom is a common tool that we use in our classes, but for many of us, that board will not be so effective this fall.  Join us for a discussion of a few high-tech and low-tech alternatives to classroom boards and an opportunity to brainstorm with other instructors who face this challenge.  Zoom information is available on the CIL-301-A Moodle page.

This session will provide participants with an opportunity to practice creating and using breakout rooms in Zoom.  We will also take time to discuss tips for effective use of breakout rooms to facilitate student engagement, connection, and learning.  Zoom information is available on the CIL-301-A Moodle page.

In this interactive workshop, participants will learn the ABCs of Edpuzzle and its benefits—how it can help solve the challenges of different learning speeds of students, students not being engaged or just not enough time to cover material.  Zoom information for this session is available on the CIL-301-A Moodle page.

During this 60-minute session, Emily Witsell will present the library's updated OneSearch catalog, then demonstrate how to use the new system to embed links to ebooks and journal articles into Moodle. We will also discuss how the library can support faculty teaching hybrid and remote classes through library instruction sessions and virtual research help.  Zoom information for this session is available on the CIL-301-A Moodle page.

Especially in online classes, faculty will be balancing the need for giving students frequent feedback via Moodle with the time that is required for that feedback.  One tool that can help with this is the use of a grading rubric in Moodle.  In this session, we’ll discuss pedagogical considerations for rubric creations and how to create an assignment with a rubric to ease in giving students feedback on their assignments.  Zoom information for this session is available on the CIL-301-A Moodle page.
