Super Bowl Teaching Support Strategies
Monday, January 30 - Adobe Connect Meeting Room Online - 10 - 11:30 a.m.
Register » | Presenter: Lorie Shuck
Because Indianapolis is hosting the 2012 Super Bowl, campus access may be hindered for students and faculty in the days leading up to and immediately after the game. During this period, some faculty may want to consider alternate methods to keep teaching in that event that students and faculty cannot travel to campus.
The Center for Teaching and Learning is hosting a series of workshops designed to have faculty up and running with real-time web conferencing and other presentation delivery options. The workshops will focus on Adobe Connect and Adobe Presenter. Participants should request an Adobe Connect account prior to the workshop.
You can request an IU Adobe Connect account from http://www.indiana.edu/~breeze/

CTL Online Teaching Modules
Teaching a face-to-face class is challenging, and teaching online can be all the more so. Understandably, topics related to online teaching are common consultation and workshop requests for staff at the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL). Sometimes distance and scheduling issues make it difficult for faculty to attend workshops or consultations. To make information more readily available, the CTL has developed a series of online modules focused on online teaching. Faculty can now access this content whenever they want and as often they want via their computer. The modules are located in an Oncourse site that can be joined by anyone with an IU username. The online teaching modules cover the following topics:
• Course Organization and Planning
• Content Delivery
• Learning Activities
• Assessment
Faculty can progress at their own pace and have the freedom to choose only the topics they wish. The modules are in a narrated slide show format and were prepared using Adobe Presenter (please make sure the latest version of Flash is installed before viewing the modules). To join the site, follow these instructions , using the search term, CTL Online Teaching .
Redesigned CTL Resources
The CTL has updated the CTL Resources space on our website (http://ctl.iupui.edu). This renovation has resulted in a high quality collection of teaching and learning resources that cover topics such as teaching strategies, documenting your teaching, to using clickers in the classroom and many more.
A main goal of the redesign was to make it easier for faculty to search and find the resources that they find most valuable. We also know that people use different types of devices to access the web and wanted our content to be easily read on a variety of devices. To these ends, we believe that you will find our new resources web space:
• web-friendly (no downloading required),
• easy to print,
• easy to search, and
• mobile device friendly.
We invite you to explore the new space and let us know what you think. If we are missing an important topic from our collection, let us know. We'd be happy to add it. Please offer suggestions by sending an email to thectl@iupui.edu. You can find the Resource space at ctl.iupui.edu on the main navigation bar (see image below) or you can access it directly here.
