At high noon last Friday, we concluded the last of our Summer 2006 series of workshops. As usual, it was quite the whirlwind tour. We delivered a total of 7 separate workshops, many of which were multi-day events. This meant we had workshops every day for almost two weeks, sometimes with more than one a day, resulting in a full day of teaching and support. Overall, there were apporoximately 90 participants registered – that’s an average of almost 13 people per workshop! Read on for more.
Here is a list of all 7 workshops in the series:
Aug. 8th – 9th: WebCT 101
Aug. 10th – 11th: WebCT 101
Aug. 14th: Managing the WebCT Gradebook
Aug. 16th: Blogging Your Course
Aug. 17th: Creating Online Quizzes and Exams
Aug. 17th: Introduction to Adobe Photoshop Elements
Aug. 18th: Introduction to EndNote
Enrollments were once again high, and the instruction was often punctuated with energetic discussion and collaboration. Attendees included a nice mix of new faces and returning members of the community who had been through our workshops before.
While all this was going on, we also brought several director candidates to campus (more updates on that to come, so don’t touch that dial), and made a brief presentation to incoming faculty as part of New Faculty Orientation. Yesterday we also sponsored a Graduate TA training event aimed at giving Graduate TA’s the skills they need in the lab and classroom to effectively guide students through their classes and laboratories.
