Description:
Panopto is a powerful, yet simple tool to use, integrated into the Canvas LMS that makes working with video easy, and it can be used for recording and sharing lectures or presentations, uploading an existing video. Panopto videos can be shared in and outside of Canvas and when viewed with the Panopto Player teachers have the ability to embed simple quizzes and use auto-captioning to enhance instructional videos. Join us for an introductory tour of Panopto. We will discuss what Panopto is and how it works in Canvas. We will practice making screen capture recordings hands-on using Panopto on Chrome web browser and the Panopto LTI in Canvas, and will spend some time answering your questions as well.

Description:

Many times, the grading scales and systems we design and use are largely based on our own educational experiences, but what if we had the opportunity to stop and really examine the "point" behind grading? Would we still grade the way we do? Join us for an open dialogue that seeks to answer these questions and more through the exploration and discussion of equitable grading practices.

Description:

In addition to meeting students where they are, being a student-centered institution means equipping students with the skills to articulate what they're learning, apply their learning in authentic contexts, and make connections between their courses and the intended Institutional Student Learning Outcomes (ISLOs) for all Skyline College graduates.

Join us to explore models of assignments that center student learning, use a tool to review one of your own assignments, and learn about a mini-grant opportunity to pilot the assessment of this assignment using Canvas.

This workshop is an introduction to authentic assessment and aligning assessment with outcomes. Combined with other workshops in this series, it will empower you and your program to participate in the assessment of each year's featured ISLO, which will be expected of degree-bearing programs beginning in Fall 2022.

This information session will name and discuss best practices for supporting undergraduate research at Skyline College. Participants will learn how to find and engage on-campus resources, as we will discuss the role of professional staff, student organizations, the Library, administration, the Honors Transfer Program, faculty-mentors, and our campus Honors societies that have come together to form the Undergraduate Symposium of Academic Research (uSOAR). We will share information about local and regional Honors conferences. We also hope to receive feedback and information about what is needed to further support our students as they are committing to their education, answering their own research questions, and fulfilling their academic and intellectual curiosities.

Description:

For most, this is not your first time teaching, but for many this is the first time teaching in the hybrid modality. A hybrid course is much more than an online class with a weekly face-to-face session thrown in for good measure. A hybrid course provides an opportunity to intentionally design and select the best environment to facilitate course content, construct knowledge, and engage in critical thinking. In this training we discuss how to effectively facilitate a course in the hybrid format utilizing best practices and student ready strategies.
