Open Education: Finding, Using, and Licensing Open Teaching and Learning Materials (48 min) | presentation slides

CTL was happy to welcome Caitlin Carter, Scholarly Communication and Open Access Policy Fellow at the Welch Medical Library, as the facilitator for this Toolkit workshop. The session discussed finding and using openly licensed teaching and learning materials, including open educational resources (OER). OER allows instructors to flexibly and transparently create and reuse learning objects like videos, lecture slides, textbooks, images, and course modules in their own classrooms. Participants learned to identify the characteristics of Open Education; summarize Open Education's position within the Open Movement (related to Open Access and Open Science); assess copyright and open licenses to determine the proper use of teaching and learning materials; and determine strategies for finding relevant Open Educational Resources.

As faculty at the school move to a remote teaching model, knowing how to use CoursePlus — the school's learning management system — is more important than ever. Many tools in CoursePlus can save you time and minimize the hassles of course administration. Whether or not you're familiar with CoursePlus, this session introduces time-saving tips for making the system work for you and your students. This includes information on: a digital syllabus for keeping your students on track with your course goals; Drop Boxes for collecting student work; an Online Library for document organization (and posting your Zoom recordings); delivering online exams; and a Gradebook for keeping students apprised of their performance in your class.

We offer several opportunities for LiveTalk training in person (in the NSPH Multimedia studios) at the start of every term. In response to recent events, for Term 4 AY19-20 we shifted the training to be online. This recording was made during one of our three sessions. It teaches navigating several techniques important to managing a LiveTalk, specifically as related to Zoom. It's worth noting -- managing a LiveTalk is definitely not the same as simply having a meeting via Zoom!

Dean's Office Faculty Workshop: Course Design… Backwards! (60 min) | transcript | presentation slides
April 2022
Elizabeth Topper Golub, PhD, MEd, MPH (OPAL, Epi); Amy Pinkerton, MIDT (CTL)
Have you ever wondered whether your course was designed backward?
Typically, faculty start the course design process by identifying the content that they want their students to absorb, but there is a more effective, goal-oriented method called Backwards Design. In this workshop, we will explore aspects of Backwards Course Design, which focuses on the end goals, or learning objectives, of the course. We will discuss the importance of starting with learning objectives, what it means for a learning objective to be SMART, and how to design assessments that align with those objectives.
