Open Education Week 2017 is here!

Join FREE online Webinars on Open Education this week from Monday-Friday with @ONE (onefortraining).

From @ONE eNews:

Open Education Week’s goal is to raise awareness about free and open educational opportunities that exist for everyone, everywhere, right now.  We want to highlight how open education can help people meet their goals in education, whether that’s to develop skills and knowledge for work, supporting formal studies, learning something new for personal interest, or looking for additional teaching resources.

There are free online webinars Monday – Friday, many by and for community colleges, in topics ranging from the very basics of OER through the more advanced digital libraries and zero-textbook cost degrees. Research has shown that faculty adopting free and low cost course materials instead of $150+ textbooks is one of the ways that we can make a difference in closing the equity achievement gap.
We hope that you can take part in the week’s free professional development opportunities! For more information go to http://www.openeducationweek.org.

The Screencasting Workshop is back at CELTT!

The hands-on Screencast-o-matic Workshop is back!

Want to improve your online or hybrid course with tutorial videos for your students but don’t know where to start?

Screencasting is the process of capturing activities on the screen, optionally combined with audio input. Studies have found that students see videos to be a helpful learning tool and often use videos as tutoring resources.  Students also demonstrate improved learning when their learning process is supplemented with video lectures.*

In this hands-on workshop, we will play with Screencast-o-matic, a FREE and easy-to-use screencasting tool anyone can use to create short screen recordings for your course.  You will create a screenrecorded video for your course that can be published online or downloaded as an mp4 file, and embedded into Laulima.  We will also briefly demonstrate how to add captioning.

Due to the hands-on nature of this workshop, seats are limited to 10 participants each day.
Please bring your own headset with a mic if you have one.

WHEN: Thursday, 4/6/2017 at 2:00pm to 3:00pm OR

Friday, 4/7/2017 at 2:00pm to 3:00pm
