How would you like to punch up ANY video on Kaltura or YouTube with engaging interactions referencing your content? Provide on-the-spot robust questioning, asynchronous student discussions or student note taking that you, the instructor, can review. PlayPosit is your solution. It provides ways for instructors to overlay questions and other interactions at any point on the video timeline. You can gauge student engagement and retention and see if they are really watching the video. Come to the next PlayPosit workshop to see a demonstration and try your hand at creating a PlayPosit interaction video. Bring a laptop if you want to create one during the workshop. Please register at UCET@iusb.edu.

(Dates TBD)

Are you designing or revising a course? Want to know more about the best practices of face-to-face and online delivery?

As an added incentive, eligible faculty may receive up to $1000 for their professional development.

Can grading be fun? Yes! Expand your toolbox of grading techniques in this institute. Also, a chance to find out from colleagues what works for them. This is being co-led by the UCET Assistant Director, Jay VanderVeen and a faculty member (TBD).

Join your colleagues in working through the Teaching for Student Success Active Learning Modules. Building on what we've learned through efforts like IU's Mosaic Initiative, the active learning modules address day-to-day practices that help both instructors and students engage meaningfully in active learning classrooms. These modules cover a variety of contexts, from simple active learning strategies focused on reading, note-taking, and information literacy to high-impact educational practices and extensive collaborative projects. This is being led by the UCET Assistant Director, Jay VanderVeen.
