Faculty Workshops
Spring 2010 Faculty Workshops
Workshop #1: Audio Tools
February 16 (Tuesday): 4pm – 5pm (Barret 033) - Our first experiences with the drop boxes and voicethead: let’s share!- integrating these and other tools into moodle.
- Presentation of the “Conversations 2.0” program, which let’s teachers (or students, for that matter) record a number of questions, which students then answer in a sequence (it mimics a conversation). Could be used for practice, or for oral proficiency testing. Can be integrated with moodle.
