Technology Workshops
| Title | Description | Presenter | Resources |
| Recording Handwritten Content | Sometimes the best way to show students what you're talking about is to write it out. But illustrating complex concepts, equations and diagrams, or making annotations, with a keyboard and mouse alone can prove quite difficult. The Center for Instructional Technology and Distance Learning continually reviews hardware and software tools that allow instructors to record and share their natural, handwritten content. This session will showcase several options available to CSU faculty. | Chris Rennison & John Hubbard, CITDL | Recording |
| Teaching with Zoom: Tools & Tips | Zoom is a videoconferencing tool that allows CSU faculty, staff, and students to connect with each other "anywhere and on any device" via mobile and desktop. Whether using it for remote or in-class instruction, Zoom provides several easy to use teaching tools designed to facilitate synchronous distance education. This session wil demonstrate the features and functions necessary to create, deliver, and facilitate a virtual classroom in Zoom. Topics will include: scheduling a meeting, inviting participants, sharing various content, facilitating group work, obtaining feedback, and sharing recordings. | Chris Rennison & John Hubbard, CITDL | Recording |
| Podcasting as an Assignment | A podcasting assignment is a great way to have students engage a topic or issue beyond text. Coinciding with or replacing short essays, reflections or research papers, the conversational, journalistic style that many podcasts use require students to rethink the way they would present a topic or issue. Podcasting has grown steadily at CSU over the past three years and introducing it as an assignment in your class may be easier than you think. Hosted by a panel of professors as well as staff from the Center for Instructional Technology and Distance Learning and Michael Schwartz Library, this session will cover: Different ways podcasting has been used as a student assignment at CSU; A variety of free podcasting resources for faculty and students; A preview of multiple podcasting studios on CSU's campus that will be open for student (and faculty) use in the Fall of 2021. | Chris Rennison & John Hubbard, CITDL | Recording |
| Maximizing Your Use of Zoom Breakout Rooms and Polling | Zoom provides several tools designed to enhance remote teaching. Among them, Breakout Rooms and Polling are two frequently used means for better engaging students. This session will cover techniques for maximizing the use of both. Please join Mark Hackett, John Hubbard and Chris Rennison from the Center for Instructional Technology & Distance Learning as they demonstrate how to: pre-assign students to Breakout Rooms, create individual Breakout Room recordings, and permit students to self-select the Breakout Room to which they will go. Also demonstrated will be: the creation of polls, choosing whether or not polls can be taken anonymously and generating reports from previously taken polls. | Chris Rennison, Mark Hackett & John Hubbard, CITDL | Recording |
