Educational Technology & Design in the School of Nursing
Serving the instructional design & educational technology needs of faculty in UT's School of Nursing
There are always lots of cool, new, innovative things happening around campus and here in the School of Nursing. Here are just a few that I wanted to share with you and highlight. If you know of anything you’d like to add to future emails, please let me know!
Mid-semester is upon us (or will be soon!) and here’s a great, simple resource that can help you get feedback from your students to help make changes or improvements to your courses now, rather than at the end.
Are you (and your students) tired of the same old PowerPoint slideshows? Would you like a few different ways to take your slideshows to the next level?
Well, then you’ve come to the right place! We have several new resources to help you do just that.
Zoom and BigBlueButton are both “video conferencing” tools, and they have a lot in common. But, they also have some important differences. And deciding which one you should use will depend in large part on what exactly you want to do.
Do you ever have guest lecturers who can’t make it to campus, or want to conduct online interviews or “virtual office hours”?
Do you need to record a lecture or short video that you can share with students later on? Is inclement weather preventing you (or your students) from coming to campus?
Or maybe you’d like to let students work together in a virtual space that doesn’t require them being in the same room?
Well, luckily, there are two FREE tools available to you to let you do all that and more.
Because we know how things work, sometimes we think we understand why these things work as they do. That can be a problem.
