Tuesday, August 5 | 2 - 3 p.m. | Online - Zoom
Register » Organizer: Matt Barton and Presenters: Matthew Barton and Maggie Gilchrist
We will take a look at methods of utilizing the “Branched Scenarios” (or “Jump” function) within PlayPosit to guide students based on how they respond to questions. Each response can take a student to a different part of the video where specific scenarios or feedback can play out, affording students with a deeper learning experience.
This session will best benefit instructors who have already been using PlayPosit and feel relatively comfortable working with the tool. We will not focus the basic functions of PlayPosit and instead spend this webinar identifying reasons to use Branched Scenarios, demonstrating the Branched Learning function, how to set it up, and some methods for planning out these video types.

Speed Dating with Learning Technologies is a fun, fast-paced event where participants “date” a range of potential tools, services, and strategies, gaining exposure to a lot of resources in a short period of time. Participants will have around 10 minutes to "speed date" (i.e., learn about) a specific tool or service before meeting their next "date." Each Zoom breakout room will introduce a resource of interest. Join matchmakers (presenters) from across UITS Learning Technologies and other key partners to find your perfect match!
