Questions? Please get in touch at AcTech@groups.mcla.edu.
Dates/Times: Every Wednesday, 11-12 PM
Location: Faculty Lounge (Bowman)
For our in-person gatherings, we'll be alternating between recurring programming and three marquee events.
You’ve heard of open educational resources, but does it mean anything more than “free stuff”? Join us to learn why the OER movement is a strategy for realizing our values as a college committed to equity – and how Massachusetts is advancing OER right now. Lunch will be provided; please RSVP.
As you use Canvas for more of your course material, one of the challenges can be that key information gets harder to find. We'll focus on design strategies to help make the essential course information pop. Lunch will be provided; please RSVP.
With all the resources on teaching strategies out there, it’s hard to know where to focus your (limited!) energy. In this workshop, we’ll look at 6 strategies that stand out in the research for having strong consistent evidence of supporting student learning. Lunch will be provided; please RSVP.
Do you enjoy technology? So do we! And we're always collecting new digital bits and bobs that may not be "standard" teaching tools, but we find fascinating nonetheless. Join us for delightful off-beat explorations of small, niche, or otherwise off-the-beaten-path tech topics. Plus: tea and scones!
Join Gerol and Jessica in the Faculty Lounge for tasty caffeinated drinks, plus a lively exploration of methods and tools for keeping your personal information secure. Geolocation, VPNs, password managers, MFA, encryption, and more.
