Transition Training (TT) Sessions Info and and Schedule

Foundational: Blackboard Basics

TT0a Setting up your course in Blackboard
TT0b Creating webinars with Blackboard Collaborate Ultra

Medium-Advanced

TT1a I give my midterm and final in class and closely watch my students to prevent cheating. How can I do that online?

TT1b Creating and deploying exams, quizzes

TT2 I collect homework, grade all by hand and return all to students so they can see their grades. How to do that online?

TT3 I ask questions, let students think about an answer individually and write it down, they then share their thoughts on a board in a small group, then I moderate a whole class discussion. I closely watch students’ body language and expressions and in guiding the discussion I am expressive and use humor. How do I do that online?

Asynchronous online class

Use Bb Groups tool to assign students to groups. Then each group posts their responses on the class Discussion Board. Next ask students to comment on peers' posts. This activity can last a week. Encourage students to use emoticons.

Synchronous class session

Use Bb Collaborate Ultra Breakout Group feature to break students into group rooms. They can use the group Whiteboard to type their answers or use the audio to talk with one another. Afterwards, you close the group rooms and bring students back to the class main room. While students are working in their breakout rooms, you can enter each of the groups to see what they are doing.

TT4 I start my class with a quiz or with asking students what they found difficult in the readings. I use the results to grasp students' (mis)understandings and to focus on difficult points in class discussions. How do I do that online?

TT5 I let students discuss pictures or text that I project on the board. How do I do that online?

TT6 I lecture while writing or drawing on the board or while showing a PowerPoint. How do I do that online?

TT7 I let students present work on the board that we then all discuss. How do I do that online?
