  • CETL Offers WebEx Faculty Development Consultation

    Working with representatives from the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning just got easier.  Now, if you have questions about designing a course, using HuskyCT, incorporating active-learning techniques, preparing presentations, improving your spoken English, or other teaching-related concerns, you can tune in to CETL’s faculty drop-in hours via WebEx from your office computer and even from home.

    WebEx, an online conferencing tool you can use anywhere you have internet access on your computer, offers the opportunity to connect with CETL representatives who specialize in such instructional design topics as writing student-centered objectives; designing online discussion prompts; hybridizing flipping, or blending a course; developing rubrics for grading; creating authentic assessments; and much more.  Or meet with educational technology specialists who can help with web design, HuskyCT, GoogleApps, Respondus, Pinterest, and other technologies for teaching.

    CETL’s WebEx drop-in hours are currently scheduled for

    • Mondays, 2:00 to 3:00 p.m.
    • Thursdays 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 to 3:00 p.m.

    If you’d like to tune in and talk with a CETL representative, simply log in to the WebEx Drop-In Hours “personal room” during the hours listed above.  (Visit UConn WebEx for details on how to attend a WebEx meeting.) 

    Please note that the above WebEx hours are also live drop-in hours; come visit CETL in the ROWE 319 Teaching Innovation Room.
