Online Interactive Assignments
10:45am - 11:15am
Room F1008 Students of MHC have been able to complete the Travel Counsellor program online for many years. During this session, Linda Tooth, will show you some of the interactivities and assignments she has successfully implemented in her courses that support the asynchronous distance learning format, which may be beneficial for those interesting in developing blended or online course material.

Document Camera Recording10:45am - 11:15am
Room H114B (Video Lab) Writing things down with a pen and paper can be the easiest and most efficient way to communicate certain concepts to students, but not the most effective use of time if you have to explain the same idea to multiple students. Simple tools like the document camera can make a low-tech solution more accessible - saving you time... and paper! PRESENTED BY: Coreen Dolan Division of Business |
Engagement Through Simulation12:30pm - 1:00pm
Room E155 Initially, "simulation" on campus was perceived as a learning technique for healthcare professionals. However, simulation and experiential learning is used in many college disciplines. The SIM Centre team has developed a comical promotional video to engage participants that they will be showing during the noon hour. The team will then be available in the afternoon to answer any questions on how you could benefit using SIM! PRESENTED BY: Matt Jubelius Brittany Gold Holly Lewis-Futrell Division of Health Studies |
Experiental Learning: The Outdoors and Weebly
1:15pm - 1:45pm
* Teaching Garden (located outside by Library entrance) Experiential learning is everywhere and happens every day. Many college programs require hands-on field work, and for some this action takes place outdoors. Learn how one instructor uses Weebly, a free online resource, to create a portfolio and journal site students use to report their outdoor research, perhaps an ocean away. * In the event of inclement weather, this session will be moved to Room S103. PRESENTED BY: Russell Krasnuik Division of Science |

Mobile College Email2:00pm - 2:30pm
Crowfoot Room Many college employees have appreciated the ability to check their email while away from the office using webmail, but it can be difficult to operate when accessed using your cell phone or other mobile device. However, ITS has found a mobile app that makes checking your email and calendar much simpler! During this session, participants will see a live demo of this app, and those interested will have an opportunity to sign up to use their personal mobile device for college email access.
