Speaker: Dr. Susan D'Aloia, Client Success Manager ASIA Blackboard Inc.

Organizers:

Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research

Description: A. Best Practices to Improve Adoption (60 minutes)

Synopsis: To achieve student success and build impactful programming, we need to look at purposeful and intentional approaches combined with the effective use of technology. Even the most advanced tools can deliver few benefits if faculty and students don't feel empowered around using them. This pedagogical session will discuss a comprehensive approach on how to integrate a learning management system in any education environment. Drawing upon experience from various initiatives and workshops, this workshop will offer perspective on how to drive technology adoption. Through multiple case studies, participation in this session will offer insights into how we have identified common challenges experienced by institutions and how we have dealt with these issues so to support diverse needs at both a coursewide and institutional level.

Participants will be provided with a framework they will utilize as a group so to analyze multiple case studies. This session will dovetail into the Flipped Learning session and/or the Critical Thinking Session.

B. Flipped Learning 101 (60 minutes)

Goal for Participants: Participants will imagine engaging students in active learning activities rather than delivering lectures. In this presentation, you will learn emerging concepts behind a flipped classroom and why you should try it. The session will go through the techniques of creating flipped learning opportunities and the structure of a flipped lesson. Hands-on activities will illuminate how Blackboard Learn can support flipped learning. (35 minutes)

Participants should be familiar with learning outcomes for their courses of consideration so to engage in a hands-on activity. All participants will be provided with the Hybrid Learning Tool Kit to utilize so to develop their course work during this hands-on session.
