Today’s Academic Innovation & eLearning workshops
LLCC Academic Innovation & eLearning is offering the following workshops today:
- ISO the Academic Integrity of Instructional Materials: Seeking Permission and Source References – Wednesday, March 20, 2-2:50 p.m. in S0119. Quality Matters Standard 4 states that just as faculty require students to seek permission and provide correct citations in their work, instructors should model the same academic integrity for students by providing both source references and permissions for use of instructional materials. Instructional materials come in all shapes and sizes — free online textbooks, journal articles, images, interactive websites and videos. The list is endless. Join us for this workshop to learn how to seek permission for use and about resources to help you create a proper reference. Register at http://bit.ly/2H0EbiA. Note: Current online faculty participating in the Online Proficiency Program can receive two points for successful completion of this workshop.
- Creating Internet Accessible Word Documents – Wednesday, March 20, 3-3:50 p.m. in S0119. Join us for this workshop to review what the color indicators of Ally mean, and how to make them green! Prior to attending this workshop, look at your Ally results for Word documents that have scores in the orange and red range, and bring those files with you. In this workshop you’ll learn how to use the accessibility checker in Word and make edits to your documents, so they can go green and your course improves its Ally score! Register at http://bit.ly/2CdeQMy. Note: Current online faculty participating in the Online Proficiency Program can receive one point for successful completion of this workshop.
