    Being Present in the Classroom

    Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019

    11:00 AM - 12:15 PM

    Storrs Campus
    ROWE 319

    Participants will walk away with specific strategies for how to remain present throughout the class and how to keep students present and engaged.

    We discuss topics such as:

    • What does it mean to be present, to be fully present- as the instructor… as the student…
    • Maintaining Focus
    • “Mixing it up” in order to keep students present
    • The importance of enthusiasm and energy…

    Create Videos for Your Class

    Tuesday, July 23rd, 2019

    01:30 PM - 03:00 PM

    Storrs Campus
    ROWE 319 and Online

    Some advantages of using video in your class include the following:
    • Provides a way for students to review material
    • Provides instructors another way to present content (i.e. flip the classroom)
    • Record video “microlectures” before or after class to help with difficult concepts
    Using UConn’s video platform, Kaltura, you can record lectures, store videos, create quizzes and share them in your HuskyCT course. In addition students can use it for homework assignments or for discussions. The training will cover how faculty, staff or students can create, upload, store, edit and share videos.

For faculty looking to move away from paper exams or Scantrons, online testing is available through HuskyCT. Online testing can be offered in the classroom or as at-home assessments. For faculty wishing to administer online testing in the classroom (BYOD testing), CETL and ITS have worked to make this easier.  For more information and to register, please click here
