What is it?
Our workshops focus on the success of your students by developing learning paths and solutions to meet the expectations of innovative class assignments. Workshops are developed around student skill sets, different learning styles, using technologies, and presenting information to students in a format for success.
Workshop development is a collaborative process between members of the Academic Technology Team and faculty members. Faculty member input and engagement during both the development and facilitation of the workshop lead to the best outcomes. Workshops can be delivered either in person or virtually. Specific workshop topics may come with delivery recommendations from the Academic Technology team.
The “Storytelling through…” series of workshops focuses on crafting engaging stories using a variety of media. Some commonly facilitated workshop topics include:
-
Storytelling through presentation - an interactive session that prompts students to use visual elements like color, images, and text to aid in visual storytelling that supports their verbal message.
-
Storytelling through video - a full walkthrough on how to effectively plan, film, and edit video to capture their desired story.
-
Storytelling through podcast - a scaffolded approach on how to effectively script, record, and edit narration to capture an audio story.
-
Storytelling through infographic - Students learn how to transform data points into cohesive and accessible visual stories using principles and elements of design.
- Other - There are a wide variety of topics that the Academic Technology Team is knowledgeable and passionate about. We are happy to work to create custom workshops on topics including but not limited to: accessibility, project management, and learner engagement.
