Workshops Fall 2008

How to enable students to listen to or even create audio materials outside the classroom (and be able to evaluate something you didn't witness).

Friendly LCLC staff and students will guide you through all the Wimba Voice Tools currently available in Blackboard at UIC. You will learn how to create audio materials including podcasts for your class, and how your class can create audio materials or interact orally outside the classroom. You will also learn about how to incorporate these things into grades or your syllabus without having to listen to entire conversations between every student in your course.

How to increase interaction outside the classroom and build writing fluency in language and culture classes.

Friendly LCLC staff and students will guide you step-by-step through setting up a quick-and-easy wiki in your course. We will talk about why wikis are useful within the context of your course or language courses and show examples of how wikis have already been used here at UIC and other universities. We strongly encourage already having a Bb course to allow you to create your own wiki.

It doesn't have to be your enemy, we can show you how to master this powerful tool!

Friendly LCLC staff and students will guide you step-by-step through setting up the new Grade Center in your course, and how to effectively use "weighted" columns to automatically determine final grades, midterm grades, etc. You must bring YOUR SYLLABUS and have a Bb course to get the most out of this workshop.
