Center for Online Learning Workshops

Our workshops are designed for faculty who want to learn technology tools in the context of how they can be used in college classrooms, using examples of how they have been used by Hunter colleagues. We update them each semester as technology tools and instructors’ needs change. Workshops are listed below by date offered. You can also view them grouped on our Workshop Categories page.

Please use the registration links to let us know that you will be joining us. We change registration links to links to resources or recordings after the date of the workshops.

Setting up your Blackboard Grade Center
Become a power user of the Grade Center! This workshop can save you time and eyestrain, especially if you are teaching a large class. Join us to learn how to customize your “instructor view” of the Grade Center. Choose what columns to see and in which order they appear. Create and assign categories so that each assignment gets its correct weight in the final grade. Finally, use smart views and color-coding to view the grades of small groups of students and find out who might need special attention.

Grading & Feedback with Hypothesis
While there are multiple options for grading in Hypothesis, the importance of incentivizing participation cannot be overstated. To help spark interest in annotation, instructors need to provide clear guidelines that reward high-quality contributions. In this workshop, Christie from Hypothesis will present foundational components in creating either an analytic or holistic rubric for annotation, as well as establishing a framework for effective feedback. Social annotation lends the ideal format for assessing and promoting continuous learning, so join this session to gather ideas and tools to take your grading and feedback practices to the next level.

Creating question pools for quizzes that draw questions randomly
This is an advanced workshop on Blackboard’s testing functions. Giving tests that draw questions randomly from a bank of questions can be one strategy to mitigate cheating. These tests go beyond presenting questions or answer choices in different orders. When questions are drawn randomly from pools of questions, each student gets a different test. Question pools require careful preparation with questions grouped by difficulty level and topic. Let us help you tackle this challenge!

Social annotation for STEM courses
Hypothesis’ instructional designer Christie DeCarolis will discuss how collaborative annotation with Hypothesis can be used to make student reading visible, active, and social. While the application of social annotation in STEM courses is not always obvious, its collaborative and metacognitive nature can encourage students to tackle difficult concepts in a new way. For example, social annotation can assist students in identifying patterns and relationships, in analyzing the validity of arguments and/or solutions, and in locating and contextualizing important information in problems. Additionally, it can give instructors an opportunity to guide students through texts or course materials asynchronously. In addition to sharing pedagogical best practices for collaborative annotation, Christie will demonstrate how Hypothesis can be used with course readings in Blackboard.

Asynchronous online modules for when you can’t make it to class
Learning modules are a collections of carefully sequenced and chunked teaching materials, activities and assessments. They are the building blocks of hybrid and online courses but also useful to replace sessions of in-person courses when weather, conferences or health issues require alternatives. Professors design these learning experiences and students complete them within a specified period of time, usually a week. At this workshop, we will discuss how to create learning modules and review examples of modules created by Hunter professors.

Creating question pools for quizzes that draw questions randomly
This is an advanced workshop on Blackboard’s testing functions. Giving tests that draw questions randomly from a bank of questions can be one strategy to mitigate cheating. These tests go beyond presenting questions or answer choices in different orders. When questions are drawn randomly from pools of questions, each student gets a different test. Question pools require careful preparation with questions grouped by difficulty level and topic. Let us help you tackle this challenge!

As you prepare to design and teach your summer course online, we are here to help you. Join us for one of four week-long course design workshops. Each workshop consists of a series of presentations related to different aspects of online teaching and learning. These workshops focus on course development and implementation. For support for Blackboard tools, consider attending workshops offered by the Technology Resource Center. There will be three presentations every morning and three time slots in the afternoon for you to sign up to work with a staff member individually. Choose the presentations that interest you and attend as many as your schedule allows. The presentations will repeat over the four weeks, so you can repeat or attend a presentation at a later date.

Presenters
  • Laura Baecher (Curriculum & Teaching)
  • Sarah Byosiere (Psychology)
  • Mowmita Jabir (Technology Resource Center)
  • Shiao-Chuan Kung (Center for Online Learning)
  • Scott Lipkowitz (Library)
  • Gina Riley (Special Education)
  • Abigail Torres (Center for Online Learning)
  • Julie Van Peteghem (Romance Languages)
