This Week in the LEC

NSUWorks, NSU’s institutional repository, and SelectedWorks, the online professional profile system, work together to curate content for the Digital Commons network of repositories for dissemination of your scholarly output to the world at large. Digital Measures is NSU’s internal review and tracking system for faculty to keep track of their professional activities. Part 1 of this 2-part series will discuss how these three systems work at NSU, explain your college process for adding your scholarly contributions into these systems, and provide think-tank opportunities for the creation of new scholarly work for yourself and your students. Part 2 will be a hands-on workshop experience to show you how to manage your SelectedWorks profile effectively on your own.

In this workshop, we will define Instructional Design (ID) and discuss how ID principles are used to develop course objectives, sequence content, create authentic assessments, and create web-based content that supports learning content that aligns with your learning objectives.

In this workshop, we will explore strategies for making online courses more accessible and inclusive. All students can benefit from intentional course design.

In this workshop, we will discuss key assumptions for teaching online, identify theories, models, and frameworks that support online pedagogy, and how they can be used to guide online course design and facilitation.

Everyone’s lives were turned upside down during quarantine in 2020. Traditional face-to-face lectures were out of the question and teachers everywhere were forced to adapt to provide for their students. This presentation will review some of the skills and technologies that help to enhance student learning while socially distanced and as we transition back to the classroom for our “new normal.” Tutorials will also be provided for free resources to help incorporate more technology into your lectures including live streaming to YouTube and using virtual sticky notes.

Education is a caring practice. As such, it is important to consider the effectiveness of the technologies we use for promoting productivity, supporting student engagement, and facilitating a student’s acquisition of disciplinary knowledge, skills, and attitudes. 

Kaltura’s KAMP session will not only teach you tips and tricks for getting the most out of your Kaltura products but will also give you some of the latest pedagogical theories for how to use video as part of your courses for more effective learning. Sessions are held every second Thursday of the month during the main calendar year. All Kaltura end-users from higher education are welcome to attend.
