Wednesday, November 28th, 2012
12:00 PM to 1:30 PM
In the CCS Boardroom, LIB-B99-M (on the basement level of the Library building).
Agenda:
- Two faculty members Tetyana Antimirova from Physics and Said Easa from Civil Engineering share their experiences in using i>clickers and web>clicker.
- A quick how-to-use-clickers orientation workshop, which includes general introduction of the i>Clicker system and integration with the Blackboard grade centre.
Please feel free to bring your own laptop (BYOL).
After the session, the DMP will be available to answer your individual questions and/or setup your laptop with i>Clicker.

Using Clickers to Enhance Student Engagement
November 16, 2011 (1:00 - 3:00 PM) in KHE-118-A
Speaker: Timothy Stelzer, Dept. of Physics, University of Illinois
Clickers (classroom polling systems) can enhance student participation, learning, and motivation. Join us for a discussion of best practices in clicker pedagogy, and an overview of the logistics of the i>clicker response system. We’ll also provide hands-on experience and practical advice for introducing clickers into your classes.
Speaker's bio: Tim worked on the award winning transformation of the introductory physics courses and is a founding member of the Physics Education Research group at the University of Illinois. His education research has focused on making appropriate use of technology to improve student learning. He is a co-inventor of the iclicker personal response system and is coauthor of the “smartPhysics” learning system. Tim is a regular on the University’s “Incomplete List of Teachers Ranked Excellent by Their Students,” based on mandatory student course surveys, and was recently award the Arnold Nordsieck award for “the development and dissemination of innovative materials and techniques that have transformed introductory physics teaching.”
Tim Stelzer is a research associate professor of physics, and distinguished teacher-scholar at the University of Illinois. He received his Ph.D. in theoretical particle physics from the University of Wisconsin at Madison. His particle physics research has focused on physics at hadron colliders such as the Tevatron at Fermi National Accelerator Laborarory and the LHC in Geneva Switzerland. Several of his papers are among the top cited in high energy physics.
Managing Interim Grades with Blackboard Grade Center
Thu. Oct. 20, 2011 (2-4 PM) in KHW-177-C
In this hands-on workshop you will learn to: prepare and organize your course shell Grade Center to enter students' grades have the Grade Center do the math using calculated columns, such as the Weighted Total create Smart Views to focus on specific criteria, such as only viewing one section number group of students at a time download the Grade Center and save it as a spreadsheet on your computer This workshop provides you with the opportunity to connect with other instructors and have your Blackboard questions answered.
From this 2010/2011 Academic Year - Social Media and Web 2.0
Students at Ryerson have a wide range of experience with new media, social media and web 2.0 tools. This year we would like to explore several of these new technologies and how they may be integrated with your teaching. A series of events had been offered in the form of hands on workshops, walk-in clinics and discussion forums on new pedagogies and best practices using Social Media and Web 2.0 for teaching and learning. These events were coordinated collaboratively by DMP, Library, LTO, and XMI & EDGE Lab.
