An
E-Portfolio Template (Made In Powerpoint)
http://ulm.edu/tlrc/zip/CORS456--PORTFOLIO--YourFirstName-YourLastName-ThisSemester-ThisYear.zip
After you "unzip" this file, you will see a folder
with 9 linked files.
Click on the file that has the word "PORTFOLIO" in the file name; this
file has directions. Basically, this "E-Portfolio" is an
interactive
way to view any type of digital work, elegantly. Any part can be
edited.
Here is a DETAILED example of a similar electronic
portfolio:
http://ulm.edu/~beutner/template/Firstname-Lastname---Signature-Piece-CORS-567.zip
And, this interactive visual tutorial describes how to edit the example
listed directly above:
http://ulm.edu/~beutner/vid/E-Folio/Signature-Piece--08.htm
Students can create a "menu" of their work on the first slide.
Interactive hyperlinks allow a user to view linked slides; each slide
has a link to a file. It's quite easy to use for any type of
curriculum.
In essence, these examples use a Powerpoint presentation to dynamically
link to slides, files, and to website links. It's elegant and easy to
customize. And, it's not hard to do. Taking a workshop is highly
recommended.
The big advantage of an E-Portfolio is
to conveniently arrange complex content and files of
any kind into an interactive and professional-looking presentation.

Spring
2009 Website Maintenance Training
In Spring of 2009, an integrated series of 5
consecutive weekly Webmaster/Webmistress
training sessions will be offered for designated faculty
or staff who need practical training in updating/maintaining
an
existing ULM-based website. The number of participants will
be limited to 12 people; those who
need training and can
commit to all sessions will have priority. Final
confirmed registration for this training will take place during
University Week 2009. You may pre-register by
posting to the TLRC bulletin board used for
registering workshops.
This
is a partial list of TLRC workshops being planned in the future as
workshops during the academic year and during University Week:
- Instead
of hands-on workshops, some workshops
could simply expose faculty to new concepts, technologies, ideas, etc.
For example, "ted.com", is an
outstanding website.
- Second Life.
- Examining conflicting student views of a course
experience in large classes, using different instructional
formats.
- Promoting Collegiality”.
- Encouraging critical thinking skills in
students.
- A variety of Moodle sessions, at all
levels of familiarity. (See "Moodle
Buddies".)
- Assessment and evaluation and how this promotes
quality.
- A series of Camtasia sessions will be
offered. “How
to Convert PowerPoint and Other Files to Video.” will be one workshop.
- Service-Learning,
- Strategies
and methods for enhancing online courses. One very inexpensive
and
convenient strategy is to use phone teleconferencing using a
free
online service (http://www.freeconference.com)
that connects an entire class together.
This has been used very successfully in
an online class.
- Using Flash, an authoring tool of interactive
online content.
- Using ULM Library digital resources.
- Practical, tried-and-proven teaching strategies
that really work.
- "Geogebra", a free program that allows students
to visualize math functions. (Try several Geogebra math applet examples.)
- Scholarly publishing sessions
- Grant networking sessions.
- “Culinary collaborative
conduits” – i.e., lunchtime sessions that will offer participants a
choice of
tables (perhaps at Schultze or in the faculty room of the SUB) at which
different
moderators would sit. This would enable participants to meet other and
share
their interests, potentially facilitating collaboration. Lunch could be
brought
(brown bag) or purchased for $5. Different topics could be presented at
one lunch meeting. Topics could be repeated. Roundtables would be
wonderful for
this. Moderators/Presenters could get free lunch by way of
thanks.
- A session or sessions by the Provost on tenure
and promotion.
- Other previous sessions offered in the past by
the TLRC are under review. A finalized draft of
University Week activities will be presented to the Provost for
approval.
- Building PowerPoint lectures and audio
shows for Moodle.
- Using "Hot Potatoes" utilities to build
flashcards, vocabulary-based crossword puzzles, and
pre-quizzes.
- A
complete series of workshops on using "Camtasia", a versatile and
powerful video capture and editing application that is
particularly well suited for authoring multimedia.
- Recording and editing classroom
lectures.
- "Electronic Portfolios Using Powerpoint".
- Moodle: "Getting
Groups Involved".
What do YOU want? Please
let us know!

This is "a free and open resource designed
primarily for faculty and students of higher education.
The MERLOT Journal of Online Learning and Teaching (JOLT) is a
peer-reviewed, online publication addressing the scholarly use of
multimedia resources in education.
The objectives of JOLT are to:
- Enable faculty to use
technology effectively in teaching and learning by learning from a
community of researchers and scholars;
- Enable academic programs
to design and deploy academic technology to optimize teaching and
learning;
- Build a community around

What Works In Classroom
Instruction (Free Book) http://www.mcrel.org/PDF/Instruction/5992TG_What_Works.pdf
This
is an amazing compilation of research data
about instructional
strategies that have the most impact on student
achievement. This highly-regarded federal study
commissioned
by the federal
Department of
Education outlines "the 9 most effective teaching strategies
for
enhancing student achievement". Based on over 100
major studies
involving
over 4,000 control groups, the study examined "what really
works" and summarizes the most comprehensive and rigorous meta-analysis
of effect sizes for thoroughly researched teaching strategies.
In
other
words, this book focuses on the most effective and
"scientifically
proven" ways
to enhance student achievement. The effect sizes of these 9 strategies
range from 1.61
to 0.59.
(Effect sizes in this range represent very dramatic changes in
student achievement!)

available for use. Membership is free. The Louisiana Board of
Regents is a member of MERLOT and encourages all Louisiana
faculty
to share this extensive collection of academic resources. Contributing
on MERLOT may be considered a professional publishing
activity.
|
Grant
Resources
Need money for research, equipment, travel, or a GA? Write a grant! The
best place to start is to phone 342-1039. |
Workshops
On Demand
New!
Do you and a few colleagues want to participate in a
specific
workshop? Is there a workshop topic that you think others would be
interested in? Or, are you interested in offering a workshop
to
colleagues? If so, the TLRC can arrange workshops.
Just contact the
TLRC and describe your suggestion or idea. |
Cafeteria
Academic Discussions: $5/Lunch
New!
Interested in an informal session at the ULM
cafeteria on
days when the lunch only costs $5.00? This could be an opportunity for
collegial discussion and relaxed networking, the fertile soil of
innovation. If you are interested, let us know! If there is
an academic theme
to a scheduled and
announced lunch meeting, organized by a "moderator" who is
willing to pass out evaluation
forms to participants, the TLRC will recognize
the event as a faculty development session.
|
| TIPS FOR FACULTY AND STAFF |
Nutritious $5.00 Meals
Did you know that ULM faculty and staff can purchase 20 meals
at Schultze Cafeteria for $100? Since the credit is on your
ULM
ID, there's no reason to carry cash. For details, go to the
SUB
and ask for "Alvin" or "Eddie". Request
the "20 meals
for $100, faculty/staff plan". The Aramark number is 342-3420 or
342-1979. |
Sudoku
http://www.dkmsoftware.com/sudoku/sudoku.swf
If
you don't know what "Sudoku" is, or if you haven't tried it, you are
missing out on an opportunity to relax, play, reduce
stress,
and exercise your brain... all at the same time! The Japanese
consider this intriguing puzzle game (which was invented in the USA) as
a wonderful "brain resource". Even though Sudoku is a
"game", consider the related benefits.

ranging from "How to?" to "What can I do?" to "What do you recommend?".
It's collegial, informative, and creative to talk with
faculty, of
all disciplines, across the campus! So, start dialing!
A GENTLE NUDGE: Get comprehensive information during
a Moodle
workshop, not during a phone call. There will be MANY
announced Moodle
workshops
throughout the academic year. Please register! The workshops are run by
very capable people who know how to support you with your online
classes.
