SoftChalk enables the creation of lesson modules that can contain content presentation elements, such as original and annotated documents, and/or audio or videos of the instructor lecturing or displaying illustrative content; interactive learning elements such as scored, game-like matching exercises or interactive “puzzle-piece” assembly exercises; and even quizzes over the included material.

Teaching and Showing Using Camtasia Studio
Facilitated by Coryl Celene-Martel
Recent research on brain-based learning says that showing can be the most important thing a teacher does. Many of us use computers to do this in our classrooms. Wouldn’t it be great to give our online students the same opportunity and to let our traditional students preview and/or review what they’ve seen in class? This is exactly what Camtasia Studio does. It makes a movie of the action on your computer screen, to which you can add narration and a variety of other enhancements. In this Camtasia workshop you’ll create a simple presentation, as well as narrate it and easily generate an ADA compliant transcript. Camtasia Studio is available in your TLC and there are free copies available for workshop attendees for use on faculty office computers.

Assessment Loop Form Drop-In Lab
Facilitated by Jack Bautsch
Faculty, wherever you are with your Assessment Loop Form for this year—unclear about how to proceed, just starting to think about it, half-way finished, or somewhere in-between—this session is designed to help move the process forward to its next step. Faculty have found that the form can be a useful tool for focusing on and planning alternative approaches to hard-to-teach topics, or ones where students have experienced difficulty. Faculty have also reported that it helps to think and talk about the form in a setting with other colleagues. In this session, there will be time to think, time to talk, and time to work on-line with the form. Hope you can join us. Questions? Please contact Jack Bautsch at .
