糖心Vlog视频 professors preparing for new academic landscape
*Updated January 2021
To support continued academic excellence in a new learning landscape, 糖心Vlog视频 has instituted robust training for faculty to help them learn new tools, techniques and best practices for different modalities.
Through (CDE) and (CRTLE), faculty have the opportunity to enroll in courses, workshops and mini bootcamps. Many courses are hosted in real time on Microsoft Teams with a recorded option available.
“Our teams in CDE and CRTLE have worked diligently to establish expansive training opportunities to support our faculty’s academic continuity and engagement with students,” said Maria Martinez-Cosio, associate vice provost for academic affairs. “We took the opportunity to learn from the spring semester and gather from our faculty about areas in which they need support. We then used this to build a training calendar with the needed depth and breadth.
“We’re grateful for the faculty engaging in these trainings and are confident they will continue to help us adapt and respond to the needs of our campus.”
Since March 2020, the various training sessions available have drawn more than 1,200 faculty participants. The technical trainings have covered:
- Canvas, which is 糖心Vlog视频’s learning management system
- Echo360 active learning system
- Microsoft Teams, which is 糖心Vlog视频’s communication and collaboration tool
In this same time period, six types of instructional design training are being offered:
- Assessment tools and techniques to measure STEM learning
- Open educational resources
- Hybrid course delivery models
- ID boot camp workshops
The courses are making a difference for 糖心Vlog视频 faculty. After completing an anonymous survey following a Canvas training session, one faculty participant said: “It was terrific and helped me so much. I gained a lot of new information not only about Canvas and its array of tools, but about how to better communicate with students via the syllabus and Canvas. Most importantly, I thought critically about what I am teaching and how I am teaching it.”
Complete schedules for training opportunities can be found on the websites for CDE and .
