Description |
| Blackboard I |
This session will focus on site design
considerations and strategies. It is intended as a basic
overview of ways to create, upload and effectively arrange
instructional content within a Blackboard site. Site layout
will be discussed along with various methods for uploading
site content or linking to content from the Content
Collection. Assignment
creation and submission options will be described. The
Adaptive Release tool will be demonstrated as a content
release strategy based on stacked rules where content is
released to students in relation to their assignment
submission, date and time specifications. |
| Blackboard II |
This session will focus on Blackboard collaboration
tools and strategies. Blackboard offers a suite of online
synchronous and asynchronous communication tools. Explore
strategies for leveraging Blackboard’s communication tools
to maximize group interaction. Blackboard enables
instructors to create learning groups or project teams with
the option of giving groups access to their own discussion
board, virtual classroom, group file exchange, and group
e-mail. Discuss strategies for incorporating group
collaboration tools into your course and consider how other
faculty have used collaboration tools in their courses. |
| Camtasia Studio |
Camtasia Studio is an easy to use
screen recording technology that dynamically captures what
is displayed on your screen--including onscreen drawings,
cursor movements, drop down menus, pop-up windows, etc.--and
then produces a video. Instructor audio can be captured
while you are recording screen video or can be added later. Camtasia Studio integrates with
PowerPoint for recording slide presentations along with
annotations and audio narrations. Camtasia Studio offers
various editing and rendering options to different file
output formats such as demonstrated in this sample
presentation output to
Flash,
Windows
and
iPod
media formats. |
| EndNote Web |
This session will
provide a basic overview of and introduction to using
EndNote Web. Beginning with account creation and customizing
your database list, we will describe and demonstrate the
main functions and ways of using EndNote Web to conveniently
search for references, import references into designated
groups, employ the cite while you write feature with Word,
alternate between EndNote Web and EndNote applications, and
easily change citation format styles. |
| FSUCOM e-Library |
This session will provide an overview of library
e-resources: e-books, e-journals, evidence-based medicine
resources, drug resources, patient education resources,
medical images and PDA resources. The library has developed
several graphical webpages and tools to familiarize you with
primary sources. Some of these include the "Find Medical
Information - Start Here" link, the library blog, the
library wiki, short online tutorials, a library toolbar and
quick search boxes located on the homepage that will take
you directly to the content of most of the library
e-resources including scholarly articles and book chapters. |
| IRB Approval Process |
This session will take participants through the process
of applying for IRB approval of an educational project using
the FSU site required for the submission process. A
completed IRB submission will be shared. Explanation of why
a project does or does not require IRB approval will be
provided. Tips for designing and describing a sound and
meaningful project that can be considered "educational
scholarship" will be discussed. |
| Podcasting/Vodcasting |
Podcasting involves capturing and
distributing audio content via an RSS “feed” that
enables subscription and automatic downloading of new audio
content to an MP3 player. Vodcasting involves capturing and
distributing video on demand content, with or
without audio, via an RSS “feed.” In this session, we will
demonstrate the process for creating podcasts with Audacity,
a free audio recording/editing software, and show how
vodcasts and podcasts can be created using other programs
such as Camtasia. We will also demonstrate how podcasts and vodcasts
can be distributed using Blackboard to create an RSS feed
which enables individuals to access, subscribe and download
content via the iTunes player even if they are not logged
into Blackboard. |
| Second Life |
Second Life is
a multiuser virtual environment in which the users are
represented as avatars interacting in a user-built 3D
environment. There is great interest in this among the
health care professions; the following links will give a
better idea of some of the applications:
|
| Skype |
Skype allows realtime voice and video
interaction via the web as well as a host of additional
plugin capabilities like whiteboarding and call recording,
and most basic services are free. It can be used for
instructor office hours and to present guest lectures, among
other things. |
| SnagIt: |
Using SnagIt, you can capture what is displayed on your
screen and save it as an image file to your computer, or to
your clipboard, for pasting into another document. SnagIt’s
editor allows you to crop or resize, adjust color, and add
arrows, lines, highlights, text, callouts, or a clickable
link. One can also output to Flash with hotspots that can
display text or graphics when hovered over such as utilized
in this
floor plan
and incorporate links such as embedded in this
organizational chart. |
| Student e-Portfolios |
This session will address the purpose of
e-Portfolios for students. The various content areas of the
student portfolio will be illustrated. Participants will
learn how to locate and enter the student portfolios of
their advisees. We will consider how advisors can use
e-Portfolio information as a source for discussions with
their advisees. We all also consider how e-Portfolios can be
employed to promote student self-reflection and evaluation. |
| Surveys/Assessments |
This session will focus on the
creation of online surveys and assessments. We will identify
the various types of questions that can be created in such
programs as Blackboard, Sharepoint, and SurveyMonkey.
We will also describe online survey and assessment features
and options with respect to design layout, response collection and results
analysis. |
