Traveling Workshops Across the State:
A.
Meeting Pedagogy Challenges for Faculty
This workshop will ask faculty to come up with a top ten list of their most pressing pedagogical challenges. We will discuss and rank these challenges, see how this list compares with lists developed at other schools, and demonstrate methods for addressing those challenges through the use of some tools of technology. The workshop will benefit both faculty who have never used technology in the classroom and those who have. This workshop combines elements of last year's successful workshops on Process Writing and Technology for Reluctant Faculty, along with demonstrations of current online resources at locations like Project Merlot.

Intermediate Blackboard
This workshop, for faculty who have already been introduced to and utilize Blackboard, takes a look at extra features of Blackboard not covered in previous workshops. We examine the use of specific course settings, managing users and groups, advanced assessment features (such as manipulating assessments, creating question pools and learning online grade book features), learning how to best use and analyze course statistics, and, importantly, how to RECYCLE your Blackboard course at the end of each semester.
