November 30 - December 4 Learning Labs

Angel Monday, Part 3
Monday, November 30, 2:00 to 4:00 PM, TLC LB 3231C
Part 3 of a 4 - Part Angel Training Series
Facilitators Tom Braziunas, Deborah Ocken

This third hands-on workshop will provide an introduction to the versatile communication tools in the ANGEL learning management system (as well as a review of how to create and utilize an online assignment “drop box”). We will explore how to create discussion rooms in ANGEL and how they can be effectively used to bring classroom interaction to an online class or to supplement an on-campus class with options to continue time-limited campus class communications into more expanded discussions online. Possible rubrics for assessment of student participation will be presented. We will cover how to manage student rosters, student teams and peer review.

Angel Open Lab

A special practice and troubleshooting session for folks who have attended regular Angel Training or are already teaching with Angel this quarter. All levels welcome--there are no silly questions!
The BUZZ
Friday, December 4, Noon to 1:00 PM, Green Room (by espresso stand)
Facilitators Tom Braziunas, Carol Howe
"BUZZ" stands for "Better Understanding through piZZa,"
which gives an idea about this informal, lunch-time discussion group designed to provide opportunities for instructors to explore online teaching issues and share information on pedagogy or technical solutions they may have developed in response to those teaching issues, while taking care of lunch at the same time. Advance sign-up not required, but RSVP's appreciated so the right amount of piZZa can be secured.
Pedagogy 101
Friday, December 4, 12:00 to 2:30 pm, Club Room (SW corner of the cafeteria)
Facilitator Jane Lister-Reis

Assessing Student Learning: Rubrics and Scoring Guides. How is assessment tied to student learning? In this session we will focus on assessing to assist,adjust and advance and finally to adapt. (from R. Stiehl, The Assessment Primer.) Assessing to adjust is embodied by the Small Group Instruction Dialog (SGID) process. Bring Lunch. Homemade cookies provided.
