I had the pleasure of attending the 22nd annual elearning conference. This conference brings together faculty, instructional designers and business professionals to share their experiences about teaching and learning using technology. Below is a summary of some of the workshops I was able to attend.
Open Content for Online Professional Development
This session highlighted professional development courses offered by Colorado Community Colleges Online to new and continuing faculty. At Colorado Community Colleges Online faculty who wish to teach online must take a course for online teaching.
Some of the courses offered are learning styles, managing discussions, Desire2Learn and many more. These resources are available at http://ccconline.org/faculty for anyone to view and use.
Simplify Your Life – Web 2.0 Timesavers You Can’t Live Without
There are software programs on the market that are efficient, but can be very expensive. This session focused on Web 2.0 tools that are free or inexpensive and that can save a lot of time. Some of the Web 2.0 tools presented were DropBox (Share files online), Snagit (Capture, edit, share and organize screenshots), DivShare (Upload videos, photos, documents, music that you can embed anywhere) and Jing (Take a picture or make a short video and share it on the web, email, Twitter or your blog). One of my favorites is Snagit.
