Blogging: So Many Uses, So Little Time Posted by: bodewedl / August 25, 2015 August 25, 2015 by Dana Bodewes, Instructional Designer Blogs have greatly contributed to the explosion of content created and shared on the internet. I, myself, couldn’t count the number of hours I’ve spent reading blogs about everything from recipes to research. There are many academic applications for blogs. Blogs allow students to easily publish and share content, foster writing and presentation skills, and help

, such as Screencast-O-Matic, can be used to create recordings that display video from a webcam, content on a computer screen (including images from a document camera), or a combination of both. Faculty and staff at PLU can download a license for Screencast-O-Matic PRO by contacting the Instructional Technologies Team. Sakai’s text editor allows users to record and share short audio clips and Audacity software can also be downloaded and used to create longer audio recordings. When creating recordings

. During the virtual meeting, participants can choose to display any content on their computer screen. This is useful for sharing presentation slides, documents, web content, or other materials. Participants can choose whether to enable their camera, communicate through audio only, or communicate using text-chat. The PLUTO team recommends instructors use Google Hangouts Meet to conduct virtual class sessions because the interface is relatively simple to use and access with your ePass credentials.  This

ideas to consider: Are you using your virtual class session to deliver a lecture? Consider sharing lecture content using a recorded screencast instead. Virtual class sessions can be used for discussion, live Q&A, or other interactive elements. Similar to in-class lectures, virtual lectures should be chunked into small segments interspersed with activities, polls, questions, discussion, etc. Consider shortening virtual meeting time to a maximum of 30 minutes. Students may be more engaged if meeting

expectations for communication and participation. Explain how students are expected to engage with the instructor, with their peers, and with course content. What protocols should students use when communicating or participating? Share course goals and learning objectives. Describe what students are expected to know and be able to do by the end of the course. Based upon course goals, share weekly or unit level learning objectives to focus student attention and prepare them for assessments. Provide

research projects. Concepts in data analysis and statistical design of experiments (e.g. MatLab, Python, JMP) are incorporated throughout the coursework. Electrochemical content is coupled with professional and communication skills development, as well as elective coursework focused on target career areas (materials science, bio-medicine, energy, etc.).  After 6 months of accelerated immersion coursework and a 9 month industry internship, graduates are ideal “T-shaped” employees that can tackle complex

January 21, 2014 Lutes study social justice at one of the world’s oldest, most prestigious universities By Barbara Clements, Content Development Director Nine Pacific Lutheran University students are studying at Oxford University as part of the first such program at PLU, one of the only universities on the West Coast to offer such an opportunity. The students, who departed PLU the first week of J-term, will spend the next six months at Oxford studying social justice issues, those issues around
