TODAY at 10 a.m.: Moodle Toolbar Tips and Building a Blended Course

Today’s “Tech Tune-ups & Tips”: Moodle Toolbar Tips & Building a Blended Course. The content editor (the toolbar in every activity and resource in Moodle) has a number of features with which you may be unfamiliar. The first 15 minutes will review these tools. The rest of the hour will focus on methods for engaging students in active learning in Zoom as well as learning strategies and tools for making asynchronous, online learning interactive.

Tech Tune-ups & Tips every Tuesday and Thursday at 10 am. Come Zoom with the E-learning Team as they offer two 60-minute sessions each week on how to maximize your use of Moodle and learning technologies as you get ready for classes this Fall. Each session will open with 15-minutes of “pertinent tips & best practices” about important Moodle features/resources. The final 45 minutes will provide training on a specific learning experience or tool.

Fellowship Fridays Will Return on July 10 at 2 p.m.

submitted by maherk@augsburg.edu

There’s no Fellowship Friday this week, but make sure to plan on checking in on July 10.

CTL is joining Bridget Robinson-Riegler, Psychology Professor and member of Faculty Senate, to bring you Fellowship Fridays support sessions. Beginning Friday, June 19, all faculty members and teaching staff are invited to gather and share their experiences with teaching, learning, and advising in this strange new world. – we’ll trade ideas, advice, highs, lows, successes, and failures – or maybe we’ll just plain old vent. Most importantly, we will attempt to inoculate ourselves against one of the more insidious side effects of this pandemic – isolation. So grab a cup of coffee or tea, or pour a glass of wine, and Zoom in to support your fellow instructors and work through this challenging time together.

Fridays (no session on July 3) | “Fellowship Fridays” | 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm, ZOOM
