Signature Programs |
The TRC regularly runs workshops and seminars designed to bring new ideas and tools to faculty and staff. The following signature programs are recurrent, highly interactive, and designed to help faculty and staff meeting their professional development goals.
|
| WebCT Intensive Training |
WebCT is a Course Management system for delivering courses online. The Intensive Training is divided into 4 2-hour sessions, conducted once a week for four consecutive weeks. Trainings are run twice in the fall and spring semesters and once in the summer. During the training, participants are introduced to the basic layout and tools of WebCT, as well as have opportunity for hands-on experimentation with the course management system.

| Supplement Your Course with WebCT |
For faculty who would like to use WebCT tools in a face-to-face course, this two-hour workshop is designed to provide hands-on experience using the WebCT tools most often used in ground-based courses - communication, collaboration, and evaluation.
For more information about supplementing your course, contact the TRC. |
| WebCT Advanced |
Faculty that have used WebCT over several semesters may want to "tune-up" their course and use new tools that strengthen pedagogical elements. This single-day workshop provides seasoned WebCT faculty hands-on opportunity to explore all the bells and whistles.

| Dreamweaver for WebCT |
WebCT faculty can develop course content using Dreamweaver, a Web authoring software application, which works nicely with the WebCT course management system. This four-hour workshop introduces participants to Dreamweaver, including how-to's on uploading directly to WebCT.

| New Faculty Orientation |

| Teaching Squares |
Teaching Squares is designed to improve teaching skills and build community through a structured, non-threatening process of classroom observation and shared reflection. The process involves the best aspects of peer learning – observation and discussion – while excluding judgment and evaluation. Participants typically spend seven to ten hours per semester in Teaching Squares activities.
