Upcoming Faculty Workshops (W2013)

Curricular and Research Computing has planned a brown bag series aimed at introducing faculty to established as well as emerging technologies for teaching, learning, and research. All the workshops have been scheduled for one hour at noon on and a light lunch will be provided.

Class Capture
Date TBD, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Roger Williams 105)

ILS has started to install classroom capture systems in select teaching spaces on campus. These specialized audio-video systems allow faculty to record classroom activities or pre-activities (lectures, discussions, presentations, etc.) for students to review before or after a class meeting. During this session, faculty who have used class capture in the fall will share their experiences.

Google Sites
Date TBD, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Roger Williams 105)

Google Sites is a powerful and easy to use website creation and publishing system. Faculty from across the disciplines have turned to Sites for a range of curricular and research projects and will discuss how they’ve used it in their classes to create websites, blogs, etc.

Audience Response Systems (AKA Clickers)
Date TBD, 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM (Roger Williams 105)

Clickers have gained traction in the curriculum in recent years and more and more faculty have started to use the clicker system, Turning Point, available at Bates. During this session, several faculty will discuss their use of clickers.
