Screencasting Workshop

Screencasting enables you to capture anything on your screen, add an audio narration, and share the resulting presentation with your students. Screencasting tools can help you create course orientations, present mini lectures, provide assignment feedback, and even support students’ technology use.  In this workshop, you will look at a variety of web-based, desktop, and mobile screencasting tools to find the right one for your teaching and learning needs. You will engage in the process of creating a screencast, including planning, storyboarding, preparing your screen, recording, and publishing.

Infraplus Workshop: Communication Tools

In order for education to happen, communication is paramount. Through Infraplus, lecturers communicate with their students via forums, live chat, and editing documents, through real-time collaboration. Chat allows lecturers and students to communicate about a collaborative task, share ideas, share links, and in general work together on projects. Better yet, the live chats can be recorded and saved for future reference.  This workshop will help lecturers learn about the strengths and limitations of each tool and when to use it.
