Connect Series
Description
Connect with instructors from across campus and beyond. The Connect Series is one hour of fully online 'lightning rounds' profiling new eLearning ideas, practices, trials, and experiments. Hosted through Blackboard Collaborate, presenters and participants can join from anywhere.
Outcomes
By the end of a Connect Session, participants will be able to:
- identify new practices and ideas for teaching with technology
- connect with other instructors from across Western who are using technology for teaching.
What to expect
Hosted online, the Connect Series is facilitated using Blackboard Collaborate. Participants log in and connect with others through online participation in this webinar style meeting. A series of Lightning rounds (10-15 minutes in length) are presented by instructors who have volunteered to share their practices, ideas, and experiments. The session wraps up with an opportunity for questions and discussion.
Participants should be prepared to join from a quiet location offering reliable internet connection. For full participation, speakers, a microphone, and a web camera are recommended.
