Get Interactive: Practical Teaching with Technology

Objectives:

Participants will be guided through concepts, and will be encouraged to partake in practical and collaborative activity. The aim of this week is to introduce a range of multimedia tools and techniques that can be incorporated into an online course to increase student interaction and engagement with learning.

​

Tasks:

• Create and add images to an online course

• Set up and add a Twitter feed to your course

• Embed videos in your course

• Create simple screencasts and podcasts

• Apply these technologies to a learning context

​

I'm already familiar with lots of tools, but in this first week I've tried new ones, such as the Google extensions for screencapture:

​

 Image capture - Awesome Screenshot

Screencast - LOOM

​

I've also created a test course in MoodleCloud.
