Provost Craig Schnell is encouraging faculty to be creative in dealing with the loss of two weeks of class time due to the flood, and the Information Technology Services Instructional Services team wants to help. Here are a few offerings on using technology to leverage the rest of the semester:
Information Technology Services will present “FloodBytes” on Tuesday, April 14, and Wednesday, April 15, from noon to 12:55 p.m. in EML 183. Bring your lunch. Participants will learn how to extend class time through Podcasting, Wimba Classroom, Jing and the Bb Discussion Board.
Visit www.ndsu.edu/its/rd/flood to get more ideas on extending your class time.
“An Introduction to Wimba Classroom” is planned for Thursday, April 9, from 10 a.m. to noon and on Thursday, April 16, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event is a hands-on training session that can be held virtually or you can record a class.
