This Week in the LEC

The LEC team authored several articles in 2023 with topics ranging from Harnessing generative AI tools for Assignments, Activities, and Assessments to Maximizing Student Engagement and Learning with NSU Video Tools. The team has also continued to produce informative, bite-sized videos in the Learning with the LEC series with videos on topics like Using Polls to Create Breakout Rooms in Zoom, Using the Accessibility Checker in Canvas, and Creating and Managing Assignments through the Canvas Calendar. If you’ve missed this wealth of information, we encourage you to take a look!

This year our initiatives kept us engaged with the faculty, where together we hosted the third annual Teaching and Learning Conference. We connected with faculty through DesignLink to help them improve course design and we also shared Thank You Notes with faculty from grateful students.

In 2023, we were fortunate to host workshops and presentations with faculty on topics like Generative AI, formative assessment, gamification, and interactive video tools while still continuing to share fundamental content on EdTech tools that NSU provides faculty. We were particularly proud of the Summer Sizzler Series where faculty members shared their best suggestions on Engaging Today’s Learners and Thank a Professor recipients unpacked their effective teaching techniques.
