Recording of a workshop from the Teaching, Learning, and Technology Center at Purchase College SUNY, as part of summer programming for our faculty.

Workshop description: 

Kerry Manzo, Visiting Professor of Literature, will host two workshops on remote teaching. This is a great opportunity to learn new approaches from a colleague who has used them often in classes similar to many of our own.

This session will familiarize attendees with the VoiceThread collaborative platform and provide ideas and instruction for using the VoiceThread to develop asynchronous interactive lectures. Attendees will learn:

1) how to create narrated VoiceThread lectures from PowerPoint slides;

2) how to setup VoiceThread assignments using the Moodle plugin;

3) how to manage, moderate, and grade interactive VoiceThread lectures; and

4) pitfalls and shortcomings within VoiceThread to be aware of.
