The Learning and Educational Center’s (LEC’s) Educator Competency Framework can be used to help educators improve their teaching and learning effectiveness. This framework comprises five competency categories with associated knowledge, skills, and attitudes that we believe all NSU educators should possess. The five categories are: acting with integrity, embracing belonging, equity, diversity, and inclusion, creating learner-centered environments, designing effective learning experiences, and using innovative teaching strategies and technology. Join the discussion about the framework and how faculty, staff and administrators can use it to guide their professional development actvities.

Videos are often the most highly engaging pieces of content in a course. Videos can be used to introduce new course content, reinforce concepts already learned, share demonstrations, simulations, and much more. You may know that NSU has a media server called SharkMedia which is our branded version of Kaltura. During this workshop, we will review the many capabilities of the SharkMedia platform. We will show you where you can find every function in the platform, from uploading videos, all the way to creating chapter markers and playlists for your students.

Lights, Camera, Action! Would you like to create an interactive video? Sharkmedia has been enhanced with an exciting feature from Kaltura called Interactive Video Paths. Interactive Videos enable you to create a more personalized, “choose your own adventure” learning experience by adding choice-based learning paths to your videos. Interactive videos are well known for their ability to increase viewer’s participation, reduce cognitive overload, maximize retention, and provide real world learning experiences. This workshop will explore pedagogical tips and technology tools for assembling an engaging interactive video path through a step-by-step process that will help you to make your own interactive video learning experience for students.

Engaging students at a distance and in the classroom can present challenges. Poll Everywhere provides a way to interact with your students with activities designed to ask questions, drive participation in group activities, and encourage students to share thoughts and insights from their phones or computers.
