To answer these questions, Academic Partnerships Faculty eCommons presents a micro-MOOC, Game Elements for Learning (GE4L). Kicking things off is a free live webinar, hosted by Kenneth C. (Casey) Green of The Campus Computing Project, who will moderate a lively conversation with Dr. Gerol Petruzella, Coordinator of Academic Technology at the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Petruzella will discuss his experience designing, building, and teaching an introductory philosophy course as “Dungeons & Discourse,” a quest-based roleplaying game. This webinar is part of a professional development micro-MOOC, Game Elements for Learning (GE4L). GE4L introduces participants to game elements for teaching and learning through sharing, game elements, discussion, and participation in self-selected methods. |

Learn how to use Skype in the classroom (Introduction)
Skype is a free and easy way for teachers to open their students to a world beyond their classroom. From connecting with other classes (whether in the same college or around the country), or inviting a guest lecturer to speak to your class from the comfort of their home or office, and all the way to taking a virtual museum tour, Skype provides educators with a web conferencing tool to connect their face-to-face classroom with the outside world. In this hands-on workshop, each participant will discover the various ways Skype can be used to engage their students and apply the skills and knowledge they learn in the classroom to the real world. By the end of the workshop, everyone will have their own Skype account, will have a working knowledge of how to connect to Skype in their classroom, and have a list of resources for using Skype as a tool in their classroom. NOTE: Experience will vary depending on your classroom equipment. |
