On-Demand Workshop Videos
While many opportunities for training and professional development are synchronous, the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) offers this collection of videos for those who cannot attend our workshops or want an on-demand overview. Additionally, our collection of brief video tutorials can be found on the Toolkit Shelf. And the CTL Blog also offers some videos in its Quick Look series.
Workshop videos listed below are arranged chronologically. Use the drop-down menu to navigate to videos for a specific academic year. Optionally, you can search our entire collection by title and/or key words.

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!

This special Toolkit Workshop began with a conversation talking about attendees' LiveTalk experiences before sharing several positive examples of the various form a valuable LiveTalk might take. The session focused on learning, personal connections, and the other opportunities afforded by LiveTalks. Topics included things to do before a LiveTalk to prepare, ideas for engaging the students, and things to do after the LiveTalk all in an effort to make sure everyone gets the most out of a purpose-filled LiveTalk. NOTE THAT THIS RECORDING WAS MADE PRIOR TO THE BSPH SHIFT TO FACULTY SELF-RUN, REMOTE LIVETALKS so some content, such as mentions specific to the studio and multimedia support, is no longer applicable to our LiveTalks.
