On May 17th and 18th, ETS held its semesterly Orientation to Learning Technologies information sessions. ETS holds these sessions at the beginning of each semester to provide an overview of learning technologies available to Faculty and Staff at UBC, and to provide insight into how learning technologies can enhance both classrooms and curriculum.
During the orientation sessions, we provide a general overview of the tools and resources available to Faculty and staff as well as a look at how other instructors are using these technologies to engage with students. We touch on how to integrate technology into existing curriculum, how to engage students with multimedia, best practices for communicating with students using Connect, and how a blended learning model can hold potential for any course plan. We also explore how instructors can successfully maximize their abilities, and we offer advice on how to incorporate these learning practices in their own classrooms.
This semester, our Faculty members left the sessions excited about the range of possibilities around how they can get started with integrating learning technology into their new and existing courses.
Thank you to our attendees for joining us this semester! The next OLT will be on September 13th and 14th, 2016. If you’re an instructor and eager to get started incorporating learning technology into your course, we encourage you to contact us by email at ets.educ@ubc.ca or by phone at 604-822-6333, or attend one of our Drop- in Sessions.
