Crichton – Designing Instruction
Podcasting – Ragoonaden and Young
Tip
A solid instructional design based a methodic course content is a priority. For example, students progress through the course by accessing a series of seminars. Each seminar is clearly identified on the website (Seminar 1,2, 3 etc.) Instructional resources, links to websites and podcasts which reflect the content of each chapter/ readings has been uploaded. A separate Discussion Board is in available to students for thematic on-line postings. Each seminar requires two postings, one initial response to the readings and a second response made in relation to a peer’s posting. In this manner, students are engaged and connected to the course content, their peers and the instructor.
Schedule
Prompted by discussions at the Graduate Exec and Council meetings, the ILC is pleased to host Sharing Our Practice, a monthly gathering for the Faculty of Education. Each month Faculty can share their promising practices using new tools and learning experiences. Sessions are informal, discussion based with opportunities for hands on exploration. Ideas will be accessible on a collective blog, edited and managed by the ILC. On Feb. 13th Dr. Ragoonaden, in conjunction with Bruce Young will share a different approach to podcasting using new technologies available in the Centre for Teaching and Learning.
The first gathering will be Feb. 13th (3:30 – 4:30), following the council meetings. Subsequent gatherings will be March 13 and April 10.
Please RSVP to Lindsay (Lindsay.Peruniak@ubc.ca), so we can make sure there are adequate tasty treats to enjoy. I know we are all terribly busy, but please consider coming and learning and having some fun!
Sharing Our Practice (CoP)
SoP grew from a discussion among our Graduate Executive about how to support colleagues as we move our program online. The first SoP gathering as held in the ILC on February 13th, 2013. Dr. Karen Ragoonaden and Bruce Young from the CT&L shared a new podcasting tool.
Colleagues engaged in a lively debate, while munching tasty snacks, about pedagogy and learning opportunities. The SoP template was circulated to all faculty. Faculty were invited to fill it out to either volunteer for a session or use it ask for support for a session on a specific topic.
