SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
Title: Understanding the Undergrad Program: Where Does My Course Fit?
Presentation Delivery Method: Presentation/Discussion
Description: All of us fully understand the content of the courses we teach. But do we know where our course fits within the overall structure of the undergraduate IM&T program? Is it a core course? Does it have or fulfill a pre-requisite? How does the course relate to our 6 concentrations? And most important of all, how does the course help expose our students to the plethora of career opportunities that await? The B.S. in Information Management and Technology is so much more than 120 random credit hours. This session is the first in a series, each focusing on a different program offered by the iSchool. Come learn more about our undergraduate program and our students!
Presenter: Deb Nosky, Director of Undergraduate Programs/Assistant Professor of Practice and Sheila Clifford-Bova, Undergraduate Program Manager
Title: Exemplary Course Design in Blackboard
Presentation Delivery Method: Presentation/Discussion
Description: The Exemplary Course Design in Blackboard session focuses on best practices in four major areas: Course Design, Interaction & Collaboration, Assessment, and Learner Support. The session is supported by an Exemplary Course Program Rubric.
If you are interested to find out what is considered an exemplary course design in Blackboard, as determined by Blackboard, this is the session for you. We will discuss the course design and why or why not we would want to include some of the aspects listed in the rubric as part of our course design here at the iSchool.
Presenter: Jeff Fouts, Director of Instructional Technology/Adjunct Instructor
Title: SlideDecks – Your Presentation Slides on Steroids
Presentation Method: Presentation/Discussion
