You are invited to participate in a series of informal teaching talks throughout 2017. These are opportunities for participants to comfortably share teaching concerns and discuss techniques and strategies with colleagues, experts, and CETL staff. All sessions will take place in Rowe 319. All UConn instructors —graduate students, TAs, and APIRs, as well as adjunct, tenure-track and tenured faculty—are encouraged to attend.
Contact Suzanne LaFleur if you have questions or would like more information.
Wednesday, May 17 11:00 – 12:15 Teaching with Google Docs and Other Online Collaboration Tools
There are many ways in which students can participate in a course and collaborate with one another outside usual in-class face-to-face interactions. In this talk, we will share our use of different forms of online collaboration tools like Google Apps (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, or Forms), Prezi, or VoiceThread. We will also explore how to make the most of HuskyCT tools like groups and the discussion board. Whether you are teaching online or face-to-face, these options can add variety to your course and give voice to students who might be reluctant to speak out in class.
