This interactive workshop will address definitions of experiential learning, the hallmarks of experiential learning at UT Austin, and will explore how we can embed experiential learning within our courses.

This semester we will be reading the book Mindset : the new psychology of success by Carol S. Dweck.

In this workshop, participants will learn the basic outline of a lesson and practice creating these steps for their own teaching material: the objective, introduction, activity, wrap-up, and assessment. We will dwell on the “activity” stage to discuss scaffolding techniques. Finally, participants will brainstorm assessment methods to check if their lesson plans were successful. Instructors will leave with a useable lesson plan for their classrooms.

With the overwhelming necessity to engage students virtually, the use of icebreakers have become an important tool to get and keep students engaged. These interactive activities are not only fun but if utilized with intention, can be a valuable opportunity to promote inclusivity in your classroom, actively engage students, and honor their input to shape their learning environment.

It’s time for the Panopto winter feature update! These changes will go live on December 19th, and our band of Panopto adventurers will be hard at work exploring the new features that will be available to UT faculty and students. T

In this workshop we will cover the process of making student video assignments in Panopto, from initial set up to student submission. We will also show you an example of how these come into SpeedGrader, and how you might even provide video feedback to your students. Finally, we will show you how to turn an ordinary Canvas Discussion into a video discussion board using Panopto.

This webinar will cover accessing the UT Zoom portal, scheduling meetings, Host Meeting controls - including Breakout Rooms and Polling - and where to find resources and support.

This will be a two-part webinar (each 30min). Join us to learn more about Panopto's basic editing tools.
