LLCC 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. LLCC has licensed Proctorio, a remote proctoring service, to support online testing needs this academic year. Proctorio is a secure monitoring platform that works within the learning management system to monitor online test takers for suspicious behavior. The system is available to support all Online, Remote, and Flex classes as needed with no additional cost to students. Faculty who are interested in using Proctorio are encouraged to join this live training on one of the two dates available. Registration for Online Testing Proctoring with Proctorio.
