Here is information about the three workshops that CLT offers to acquaint instructors of broadcast and video streamed courses with the technology that they will encounter:

Classroom Orientation to Broadcast and Video Streamed Courses

You are invited to visit a broadcast classroom seminar and experience the Virtual Instructional Assistant first-hand as you sit at the desk. You will see how your video streaming students will contact you to participate in class while you are teaching as well as how to follow their attendance and group chats after class.

This seminar will be held in one of the broadcast classrooms on Gornto's second floor.

Broadcast and Video Streaming Classes: Optimize the Display of your Content

This workshop on the preparation and presentation of visuals for broadcast and video streaming courses is offered in order to assist you in teaching on camera. Topics for discussion include: Presentation of the instructor, Presentation of real objects, Presentation of slides and video materials, Presentation of hand-written materials (blue pads), and the effect of movement. A portion of the workshop will be dedicated to hands-on practice with PowerPoint utilizing guidelines for the design and development which will help ensure clarity, legibility, and presentation of content in interesting ways. For topics related to course administration and classroom management, please register for the companion workshop: Video Streaming Course Administration and Management.

This workshop will be held in the CLT Faculty Development Lab: Gornto 411.
