E-Learning

E-Learning is the delivery of instruction either solely online/at a distance, or as a combination of online and classroom instruction. The Teaching & Learning Centre focuses on the pedagogical support of e-Learning to maximize student learning. Whether you are new to e-Learning or have years of experience, the Teaching & Learning Centre can assist in online course design, course set-up, online activities, online student assessment, and evaluating your online course. We can help take the mystery out of tools like Blackboard, Adobe Presenter, Elluminate and videoconferencing and help you come up with ways to integrate them into your teaching.

Teaching Online

Teaching Online is the Teaching & Learning Centre's focus of e-Learning. Our staff have in-depth knowledge of the available educational technologies to best support designing and implementing your online course. From visualizing your course to facilitating online learning activities with your students, we are here to help you every step of the way with pedagogical support.

BLACKBOARD

Blackboard is the U of C course management system standard, offering you a 'virtual classroom' for teaching and learning. The Teaching & Learning Centre helps instructors adopt and use blackboard by providing course design consultations.

ADOBE PRESENTER

Adobe Presenter software lets you add narration to your PowerPoint presentations and post them online. Learn how to use this tool to its full advantage with Breeze consultations and workshops from the Teaching & Learning Centre.

ELLUMINATE LIVE!
