Center for Teaching and Learning

Teaching with Technology

 

Several campus events are scheduled annually with a focus on teaching and learning with technology.

Monthly Teaching with Technology Trainings

The Center for Teaching and Learning will be designating a few months out of the year to help you develop a toolbox full of instructional strategies and technology solutions for some common academic questions. Each month will feature a different technology, and you can sign up for a time for an instructional designer to meet with you for personalized training on that tool.

Whether your course is on campus or online, these Teaching with Technology meetings will offer hands-on instruction and discussion about how to get students to do their work. 

Coordinator is Keeta Holmes, Instructional Designer and Assistant Director, Center for Teaching and Learning, 314-516-7134; email, holmeskm@umsl.edu.

Monthly options:

VoiceThread - May 2013

Panopto - June 2013
