Session Descriptions

Desire 2 Learn (D2L):
Presenters: Jim Lurvey, Jason Kemnitz, Michelle Parker and Shouhong Zhang

The move to Desire2Learn is almost complete. This session will explore some of the similarities and differences between D2L and WebCT. This is a great session if you have not seen D2L but plan on teaching online in the near future. All online and web enhanced course will be offered via D2L starting with the summer session, THIS IS A REVIEW OF DESIRE 2 MOVE.

Student Cyber Experience at SDSU
Presenters: Audrey Bloemendaal and Katie Jo McGuire

Facebook, Wikipedia, texting… for a generation of technology savvy students what is the role, or desired role, of technology in SDSU students’ lives?  This session is designed to help you know, as a professor, about communication and what role it plays in the lives of SDSU students.

Emerging Technologies: Camtasia & SRS Clickers
Presenter: Jim Lurvey & Dr. Jason Kemnitz

One of the primary needs in a classroom is student engagement. The SRS clicker and Camtasia Studio offer two methods of engaging your students in a face to face and online classroom. This session will discuss the various uses and features of the SRS Clicker and Camtasia including using SRS clickers in tandem with WebCT and D2L, as well as using Camtasia to engage your students through the use of flash based quizzes and visually narrated notes.

Active Learning
Presenter: Renee Oscarson

AL means different things to differnt [sic] people” . Join the politically incorrect as we examine “differnt” definitions of active learning, assess the fit between online education and active learning, and identify resources that may be used to engage students.  Finally, we will discuss strategies faculty may use to maintain sanity in an active learning, online environment.

Technology Application
Presenter: Dr. Janet Johnson

We can experience active learning not only in the F2F classroom but also in online classes. Active learning can involve the individual learner, a group of learners, or the whole class. The use of Camtasia, electronic flashcards with audio, annolighting, class blogs, and interactive assignments are some of the applications of technology to be presented in this session.  

Building Student Rapport
Presenter: Dr. Kathie Erdman

Rapport is an essential first step to fostering engagement in the learning experience. This session explores effective strategies for building rapport with students as well as among your students.

Understanding & Using Elluminate
Presenter: Dr. Jason Kemnitz

Elluminate Live allows instructors to real time narrate a Power Point presentation or communicate with students online with this web conferencing system.
