Today’s Academic Innovation & eLearning workshops

LLCC Academic Innovation & eLearning Fall 2020 Workshop ScheduleLLCC Academic Innovation & eLearning fall 2020 professional development workshops are being conducted in three different formats: remote/live via Zoom, online and on-demand. Workshops cover both pedagogy and instructional technology tools and will also include special opportunities to learn to use the new Canvas learning management system.

Today’s workshops:

  • Humanizing the Online Environment: Increasing Instructor Presence and Enhancing Student Engagement – Wednesday, Sept. 23, noon, Live–Zoom – Dr. Michelle Pacansky-Brock/hosted by ICCB. Humanizing is a pedagogical approach that supports the non-cognitive components of learning and increases the success of more students in online courses. In this presentation, we will consider why supporting the non-cognitive dimensions of learning is so important for students from marginalized groups and look at examples of humanized online teaching strategies. You will see how we are inspiring — not requiring — faculty to humanize their online courses through faculty-centric professional development in California. Registration for Humanizing the Online Environment.
  • Online Test Proctoring With Proctorio – Wednesday, Sept. 23, 3:30-4:30 p.m., Live–Zoom, Proctorio Training Representatives.
