| 11/6 9am | NDLW | Monday, November 6, 2017 Fending off the Webinar Woes: Designing for Interest and Interactivity We’ve all experienced webinars that put us to sleep; or where we listen with half an ear while working on something else. What can fend off these webinar woes? Let’s explore strategies for generating interest, catching the eye with appealing visuals, and engaging the brain with interactivity. Come experience the difference with us! |
| 11/6 Noon | NDLW | Monday, November 6, 2017 10 Disruptive Technologies & Innovative Applications in Online Learning As educators, we know we must embrace emerging technologies and pedagogies in our designs for online, open and flexible teaching and learning. What are these and how are they being applied? In this webinar, we will look at 10 disruptive technologies and innovative approaches educators around the worldare taking in applying them. From a shoestring budget to high end applications, see these tools in action, while exploring how they are rapidly reshaping the landscape of distance education in the digital age. |
| 11/7 9am | NDLW | Tuesday, November 7, 2017 BALTO: A History of Humans, Huskies, and Health In Alaska Did you know that the real Balto is at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History? Bring the amazing achievements of mushers and their sled dogs into your classroom as we present the story of Balto and the heroic dogs and mushers of the 1925 Alaskan Serum Run, and compare their experience to the Iditarod of today. Discuss diphtheria with a health educator and find out why the outbreak in Nome, Alaska is so famous. Investigate equipment used to enable humans and huskies to survive in harsh Arctic conditions. Hear how the entire city of Cleveland rallied to the aid of Balto and his teammates after they were abandoned and mistreated. It’s a ‘tail’ for all ages! **Note this is an interactive Zoom Connection – information and login details to be provided by the Cleveland Museum of Natural History! |
| 11/7 Noon | NDLW | Tuesday, November 7, 2017 A Brief History of Distance Communication & Collaboration With the USDLA celebrating 30 years, it seems fitting to be reflective as we also speculate on the future. Join us as we take a look back at distance communication & collaboration while reviewing the current state of affairs with some predictions on what is to come. |
| 11/7 2pm | D2L | Making Accessibility Accessible for Content Creation in MathAccessible math content using plain-text editors to produce beautiful web documents to upload into your courses. See a glimpse into our ongoing journey from typical word processing and math plugins to a workflow through free markdown editors, mathjax, and HTML documents. No coding experience required to produce responsive accessible web documents. |
| 11/8 9am | NDLW | Wednesday, November 8, 2017 Communicating Algebra Remotely: Problem Solved! There are many interactive distance learning tools for reading and writing because text editors have long been a mainstay of internet communication. This is not the case for mathematical equations. Until now, remote assessment for algebra has been limited to multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank responses that give teachers little insight into their students’ thought processes. New tools empower teachers to dynamically create, present and manipulate equations before their remote students’ eyes. This technology promises to arm students with advanced procedural fluency for algebraic problem solving while saving teachers hours of time. Analytics from automated problem grading give teachers much richer feedback that form the basis for better differentiated teaching. This session will describe and demonstrate this exciting new development in distance learning for algebra. |
| 11/8 Noon | TurningPoint | You are teaching, but are they learning? Using clickers to promote the three Cs The teacher is often the hardest working person in the classroom . . . and that’s not good! In this workshop, Dr. Olsen will share some basic ways to use TurningPoint to help in the three areas teachers need reinforcement most in order to create powerful learning experiences: classroom culture, content mastery and critical thinking. |
| 11/8 Noon | NDLW | Wednesday, November 8, 2017 The Often-Overlooked eLearning Strategic Plan – Don’t Have One? You Should. To ensure the long-term success of an eLearning program (blended, hybrid, fully online), colleges and universities need an eLearning strategic plan for growing online programs sustainably and at scale. An institution must consider and develop its goals, vision, organization, governance, policies and procedures, as well as accessibility planning around eLearning. When these areas are not at the core of the eLearning programming, the institution risks any competitive advantage in the eLearning space. Institutions often jump into developing courses and marketing programs when the campus is not organized efficiently, and the overall program has not been operationalized. Skipping strategic planning can cost the institution unexpected expenses and personnel resources. This webinar will address the components of an eLearning strategic plan and how it is critical to the success of the eLearning program. |
| 11/9 9am | NDLW | Thursday, November 9, 2017 Office 365 & Skype for Business in the Classroom Office 365 has taken the business and academic world by storm. Microsoft issues 1.2M new licenses every single month! The communication gem that is included with many of these licenses is Skype for Business. Now, don’t be fooled… this is not the Skype that Grandma uses to keep up with the grandkids. Skype for Business is a full-features collaboration tool that allows you to send instant messages, conduct a voice and/or video call (with multiple people), and share your screen with your audience. Join us to learn why every other collaboration service in the enterprise and education sectors is keeping at least one eye on Microsoft and Skype for Business. As a bonus, we will spend some time covering OneNote and how students are using it in your classrooms today! |
| <time class="updated entry-date" datetime="2017-10-19T20:36:15-04:00">11/9, 2017</time> 10:00 AM | Applying Brain Science for Online Learning: A Case StudyTerri Gaffney, Vice President, Product Development, American Nurses Association Sarah Nicholl, Customer Success Director, D2L We have talked a lot about advances in brain science, and how it can be applied to online learning. We know the brain is not wired to sit passively and absorb information, and when learners are actively engaged – learning improves. But how do you apply brain science theories in the real world? Join us for this interactive session to hear how the ANA leveraged brain science to engage their audience. D2L’s Sarah Nicholl, and ANA’s Terri Gaffney will discuss:

| 12/7 1pm | Inside Higher Ed | Flipping the Classroom and Other Techniques to Improve Teaching"Flipping the classroom" is an idea that has arrived in full force in higher education, and is part of broader movements as well. The basic idea is to move away from using class time for lecturing, and to instead provide that information in video form so students can review it ahead of time. This makes it possible to use class time engaged in truly active learning. And of course there are many other ways to promote active learning in the classroom. These days even research universities not historically known to focus on teaching are pushing new efforts to promote active learning – and these efforts appear to be working. This webcast will explore some of the many ways colleges are promoting flipped classrooms and other innovations in teaching. Join Inside Higher Ed editors Scott Jaschik and Doug Lederman for a lively discussion on these topics Thursday, December 7 at 2:00 PM ET.
