Here are my offerings for this week:
Semester winding down
It's hard to believe it's the last week of classes and it's hard to believe the weather has been so spring like. But, it's true. Finals are next week and grades are due by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, May 7. Grading will be turned on April 25. Here's a reminder on how to grade.
Atomic Learning
UAA has a subscription to Atomic Learning, the creators of literally zillions of online tutorials. Webinars and tutorials are available for
Blackboard, Acrobat Pro, SMART Boards, Google Apps for Education and more. They are generally very specific 1-3 minute videos. There's a slew of tutorials tucked away in the Instructor Help on Blackboard for you as well as advice on how to use Atomic Learning in your courses.
But wait, there's more… under Student Help there are links to Blackboard tutorials for students.
And more… you can even check out Atomic Learning without going to Blackboard.
So, how can you use Atomic Learning modules in your classes:
- Tutorials on applications that students need to be successful in your class ( e.g. Powerpoint)
- Presentation skills (under professional development)
- APA v.6
- and lots more! Just browse the drop down lists or use the Search box.
Please, let me know how you use Atomic Learning in your class or for you own professional learning.
