Educational Technology (EdTech) will be continuing “EdTech U” in Spring 2015. This is an opportunity for instructors to gain some hands-on assistance with any educational technology supported by EdTech.

Attending EdTech U will also enter you in a raffle, the winner of which will be drawn at the end of each semester.

Hours of Operation: 2 – 4 p.m. on Thursdays during the semester (closed for St. Pat’s and Spring Break)

Location: Centennial Hall Room 101 (next to the elevator)

Have you ever wanted to learn:

• more about SMART Podiums and Boards in classrooms?
• how to capture a live class lecture?
• new ways of using clickers?
• which tools are available in Blackboard and how to use them effectively?
• how to make a video or screencast?
• more about the instructional design process? Especially for online or blended courses?

Do you always forget:

• how to upload content in a Blackboard course?
• how to submit your grades?
• how to copy items from one Blackboard course to another?
• how to quickly check to see if student clickers are working?
• how to design a course for maximum pedagogical effectiveness?

Come find the answers to these questions and much, much more! Stay for 15 minutes, or stay for an hour!

If you plan on coming to EdTech U, please bring some specific task you hope to accomplish. When you are done, you will take away a completed task (or we will at least have you well on your way to completing it!).

We will answer one question or a hundred questions! Come learn something new!
