• Presenters:  Tejal Naik 

• Location: LE-204

• Target Audience:  New and Veteran DE faculty and anyone who uses Canvas and Zoom

• Session Details: This is an interactive DE workshop on the Pronto Chat App.  It is basically a chat app on steroids that is integrated into Canvas.  It has in-app audio, video, and the chat/text function has a language translation feature that would be particularly useful for ESL and language courses. It has file upload and storage capabilities that would be wonderful for STEM and Art courses as it allows students to take a picture of their work and upload it immediately for the instructor to review in real-time. If you are using Discord (or Piazza or Remind) then this is an excellent replacement that protects student’s privacy. 

• Key Takeaway: Faculty will learn how to enable and use the Pronto Chat app in their course to interact with students to increase engagement and build community.

• Presenters:  Mike Masuda

• Location: VA-101, at the Art Gallery

• Target Audience:  faculty, staff, students, and local community

• Session Details: 

  • The purpose of the tour is to introduce the idea that EVC has a number of extensive museums and collections that are hidden from public view, and that there is a general interest by the faculty, staff, students, and local community to have all of these under one roof (along with a planetarium and a maker space) on or near campus with easier access for the students and for the local community. This includes The Art Gallery, The Natural History Museum in Sequoia, and the Rock and Mineral Collection in Acacia. 

  • We will provide a survey at the end of the tour to determine the overall consensus of the participants towards this initiative. There is an impetus to move the Rock and Mineral Collection by the end of 2025 due to the declassification of the Acacia building at that time—we do not want to see the vast catalog of specimens moved into the  warehouse for storage. The museum initiative has gained positive support from the Board of Trustees, the local community leaders, and our own District administrators.
