Join us for the first workshop in a series designed to help you make pedagogy-driven decisions and strategies when choosing BC-supported learning technologies like Canvas, Perusall, and VoiceThread for your teaching and course design.
What to expect
In this hands-on workshop, you will redesign one activity and one assignment from your own course and explore the pedagogical strengths and limitations of key BC-supported tools. You will leave the session with a clearer purpose for your activity or assignment and a concrete plan you can use in your course.
By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
- Identify at least one clear learning goal that a specific tool can support more effectively than its alternatives.
- (For FeedbackFruits Users) Map one existing FbF‑based activity to an alternative approach or tool while preserving its core pedagogical goal.
- Design and document a new activity (including ideas for instructions, criteria for success, and a feedback plan) ready to deploy in a future course.
You should attend if you are:
- Currently using or transitioning away from FeedbackFruits
- Preparing for an upcoming online course and want to make sure your tools are set up correctly
- Interested in exploring new tools or adjusting existing tools for their Canvas courses
Date and Time
April 21, 2025, 12:00-1 pm EST, remote modality. Zoom link will be provided upon registration.
