HANDS-ON HUSKYCT WORKSHOPS
July 2017
Is your HuskyCT Grade Center ready for midterm and final grade calculations? Do you have questions about using HuskyCT tools in your course? Join us for hands on guidance with HuskyCT, including Grade Center. Workshops take place in Rowe 319 except via Webex dates.
While each session covers a specific topic, general discussions and open-ended questions are always welcome. Please bring your laptop.
Contact Daniel Facchinetti if you have questions or would like more information.
Tues., 7/11, 11am-12:30pm – Exploring HuskyCT for Future Courses (via WebEx)
This session will provide a general overview of a range of learning delivery tools available within HuskyCT. These include frequently used tools such as announcements, assignments, test/surveys/pools, and discussions, but we will also cover less frequently used but still very useful options such as Kaltura, journals, blogs, wikis, adaptive release, and others.

Wed., 7/12, 11am-12:30 pm – Kaltura & Collaborate
Kaltura is an application built right into HuskyCT that allows instructors and students to record their own video and audio, such as screencasts and/or webcam recordings, and add them directly to their courses. Collaborate is a web-conferencing platform (similar to Skype or WebEx) built into HuskyCT and available to every instructor, allowing for remote/virtual live interaction with students. This session will cover the basics of each platform and how they can be used in your course through HuskyCT.

Wed., 7/19, 11am-12:30 pm – Using Groups in HuskyCT (via WebEx)
Instructors are able to create student groups in HuskyCT, and each group can have its own separate areas of the course with its own separate functions. This session will cover using online groups in HuskyCT, how to set them up and make best use of them, and some of the benefits and limitations of doing so.
