Many Students at a Distance

2 comments

Join Academic Outreach for this weekly summer series!

This summer tune in as AO chats with faculty teaching Many Students at a Distance. ECU faculty are successfully teaching distance education classes with 75+ students; all with lives beyond these classes! Academic Outreach is offering this series to disseminate best practices in teaching Many Students at a Distance.  You can either listen or read the interviews.  Some really good ideas for using the discussion board.

BING!

Just the homepage alone is inviting, check out this new search engine:

http://www.bing.com/

“The truth is you’ve evolved. It’s time search caught up.

So we had an idea. Start over. And we did.

“We took a new approach to go beyond search to build what we call a decision engine. With a powerful set of intuitive tools on top of a world class search service, Bing will help you make smarter, faster decisions. We included features that deliver the best results, presented in a more organized way to simplify key tasks and help you make important decisions faster.” http://www.discoverbing.com/welcome/

Laupus Library Links

For those of you who use video links provided by Laupus Library please be advised that they disable EVERYTHING at the end of each semester.  If you need to re-activate access to a particular recording, you must visit their web site and fill out another video request at this link

http://www.ecu.edu/cs-dhs/laupuslibrary/videorequest.cfm

The video still exists, all they have to do is re-activate it.  They do this to make sure that everything on the server is actually needed.  Just hit the link above and re-do the request form.  You might want to bookmark the request form page and plan to hit it every semester that you need the video.

Please note any Mediasite recordings that you may want to revisit will also need to be requested from OET for a new catalog link since our Mediasite upgrade in May.

Mediasite not just for Distance Learning

Do you teach a hybrid course with both in-class students and distance students?  Would you like to give the distance students the same experience as the in-class students?  Would you like to add in-class experience to your Blackboard class?  No distance students, you say?  Well, would you like for your in-class students to be able to review the lectures as they study?  You’ll need our 800–pound gorilla for this.  Her name is Mediasite and she can do it all.  Let us introduce you.

Check out various ways you can use the Mediasite recordings that can be made in many of our classrooms here at CAHS.
