Want to see how something works?

You are enrolled as a student in the Canvas Kiosk of Information (formerly BB Kiosk).  There is a lot of information there but this course can give you the real feel of being a student.  There is information on Canvas and other technologies we are all using now, Teams, WebEx, Polling, Mediasite.  There is a Turning Point quiz that you can give in class but also schedule remotely, check it out.  If you want to see how something works and it is not there let us know and we can try it out, like groups???

Are you there – remote polling with Turning Point

But not with clickers but any device using Responseware.  Now that first summer session is over and we are halfway finished with 11 week summer session why not try something different.

Some tips while doing this via a webconference you can allow students to send private chats and then you can review the questions at a break time during your session.  Have a muddiest point discussion in your LMS for students to express.  Ask one question at a time, don’t ask too many rapidly.

Contact OET to try it out or check out this Webinar from Turning Technologies and for information on using the product.

 

Final days of summer. . .

At least Summer Session 2018.  As the semester starts winding down why not make sure students are understanding since 11 weeks get intensive.  Using Audience Response software such as Responseware (Turning Point) or Socrative can engage students and let you see what they might be missing.

As an instructor, you can create instant polling questions from Web content, PDF’s, Microsoft Office products, whiteboards and more. Quick questions can be polled by letting students use their phones, tablets or computers by using Responseware.

Sometimes things do get easier!

Clickers, polling, audience response systems are great ways to create interactivity in the classroom, keep the students awake and find out just how much they are listening/understanding.  Turning Point Cloud is loaded on all classroom computers in our building and to use it for anonymous polling you just can go to Tools in your Blackboard course and click on the “Turning Account Registration” link in your Blackboard course, open the TurningPoint Software, or log into ResponseWare on a mobile device, you will be redirected to an ECU login page. You can download the software to your machine for easy creation of polling questions.  OET has clickers which can be checked out when needed.
