Instructors now have the capability of delivering eTexts easily within Oncourse. This workshop will show you the basics of how to use and access eTexts within your course. Additional time will be spent highlighting how the Courseload platform can enhance engagement through the ability to share highlights and annotations linked directly to specific sections of the text. Time for questions and discussion will follow at the end.

This webinar is part of the Center for Teaching and Learning’s online mini-workshop series focused on foundational teaching skills, Teaching@IUPUI. Designed for new faculty, adjunct faculty, graduate students, and those looking for a refresher on good teaching practices, the workshops are short, with a brief presentation interspersed with opportunities for interaction and questions. Grounded in current research, the workshops address various teaching topics and provide participants with strategies and resources to make instruction more effective, efficient, and enjoyable. Sessions are scheduled with the time of semester in mind, to keep topics relevant for faculty needs at that time.
