Faculty Moodle Workshops this Thursday

submitted by kilgorem@augsburg.edu

All faculty members are invited to Moodle workshops this Thursday, August 31st in SVE 204. The sessions, led by members of the E-Learning Team, will help you prepare your courses for the upcoming semester and beyond.

9:30-10:45, SVE 204, Getting the Most Out of the Moodle Assignment

The Moodle Assignment activity can streamline the process of collecting and evaluating student work regardless of whether it is submitted online, completed or handed in during class or presented orally. This workshop is designed to introduce some of the newer features of the Assignment as well as highlight aspects (like advanced grading features) you may be unfamiliar with.

11:00-12:15, SVE 204, Moodle Gradebook Basics

Whether you have never used the Moodle gradebook and want to learn the basics OR have been using the gradebook but would like us to do a “pre-semester check-up” this is the workshop for you. The E-Learning team will be on hand to offer some basic gradebook tips as well as individual help with making sure your gradebook correlates to your syllabus.

Add this event and other faculty development opportunities on the CTL website.

Phi 410 Kierkegaard

submitted by apolloni@augsburg.edu

Missing in contemporary philosophy and thought is a recognition of something distinct from truths of reason and sense experience: spiritual truth. We will use the writings of Kierkegaard to discover whether there is such a thing and what it is. The course should be of interest to advanced philosophy and religion majors, and all juniors and seniors. Staff are also welcome. If interested please contact me: apolloni@augsburg.edu.
