Thu, May 30, 2013 1:15 PM - 3:45 PM IRVING K. BARBER LEARNING CENTRE. Free - Please Register. Technology is a powerful resource that can be used to strengthen existing educational practices. UBC faculty members have embraced the use of a wide-range of technology approaches and tools to support their teaching and learning goals. Learning management systems, Blogs, Wikis, Websites, i>Clickers, e-portfolios,... the list is extensive. These technologies can be leveraged to enhance learning and provide you with more flexibility in your teaching.
Three common questions that most faculty have about these tools are:
1) Why would I use a particular tool or method?
2) How can they help me meet my learning goals?
3) Who can I go to for advice and support?
This workshop will look at these questions. Through case examples and demonstrations, you will be introduced to a selection of the tools. You will also have an opportunity to discuss why faculty have chosen to use particular tools and techniques, and meet some of the staff who support faculty at UBC. This workshop will be a combination of demonstration, sharing and discussion.
