Faculty across campus share the opportunities and challenges they've faced teaching online and how they've been able to find success in teaching online.

SlideKick turns your PowerPoints into interactive slide decks, allowing students to take notes, ask questions, etc. directly from the slides.

Students have a better sense of where they're going when you can show them how assignments and exams relate to the purpose of the class. This workshop will show you how to link your learning outcomes to assignments and exams in your learning management system like Learning Suite. 

This session will show you how to use the most recent discoveries in cognitive science to increase student performance in your online classroom through Active Learning.

Assignments and assessments are for more than giving a grade—they should provide evidence to evaluate students’ achievement of the learning outcomes. Further, when students see that assessments are purposeful, they are more likely to engage.

TurningPoint is a comprehensive audience participation platform, not only provides live polling and interactive homework capabilities but also lets you conduct unlimited surveys for insights into the minds of your students. Even better, a simple interface – along with the ability to respond using a cell phone, tablet or computer – means that everyone can get started right away. TurningPoint is being piloted this fall at BYU.

Pluralsight is a service that offers web-based training in software development, IT, Data Management, and Cyber Security, etc, which you can use with your students. Pluralsight is currently being piloted at BYU.
