Flipgrid is a platform that allows for video-based asynchronous discussion. This workshop will give you the opportunity to participate in Flipgrid discussions, consider the best ways to facilitate asynchronous discussions, and reflect on how you could incorporate Flipgrid into your teaching. This workshop will be held virtually!

Evidence from a national study shows that when faculty implement small changes to enhance transparency to the design of even just two assignments, there are statistically significant benefits for all students and even larger gains for first-generation students, low-income students, and students of color (Winklemas et al., 2016).

During this live Q&A, you’ll have an opportunity to clarify questions and refine your knowledge of Screencast-O-Matic (SOM) for increased confidence and independence in producing effective videos for your students. We can review any step along the way from planning to recording to editing to sharing.

Teaching Effectively Online is a 4-week online course (July 6-July 31) that prepares faculty to teach online by exploring research-based best practices for designing courses, providing practical experience with a variety of tools, and perhaps most importantly, by providing faculty the change in perspective—teachers become students, a shift that is regularly described as game-changing.

Find out if Microsoft Teams, a software available to UVM faculty, staff, and students, can be a part of your remote teaching plan. In this REMOTE workshop, we will explore Team's features WHILE you experience its video conference functionality.

This workshop will cover the basics of setting up discussion areas in Blackboard as well as tips for facilitating effective, engaging discussions.

In this workshop, we’ll share examples and a simple framework for transparent assignment design—Purpose, Task, Criteria. You’ll be able to create a plan and, using the framework, complete the groundwork to “TILT” two of your own assignments.

While it can be used in a minimal fashion, using the Blackboard Grade Center to its fullest extent can be daunting. However, there are a few key features that, once understood, will make your interactions with the Grade Center easier and more productive.

This fall, faculty will be teaching courses at UVM in multiple modalities, including in-person, online, remote, and mixed instruction. Although these modalities place some constraints on how the course is delivered, faculty retain autonomy in how they design their courses to achieve their pedagogical goals. CTL developed this series of workshops to support faculty teaching […]
