Sakai Pathways: Communication Tools
Join us on September 30th at 1pm CT! This interactive professional development series provides you with tips and effective practices for facilitating communication in online and technology-enhanced courses. Explore the Announcements, Calendar, Email, Chat, Messages, Discussions, and Conversations tools to help devise a comprehensive student communication strategy.
Announcements and Calendar: The Announcements tool enables instructors to communicate with small groups or their entire class. Additionally, this session will address how to effectively use the Calendar tool to help organize course content and activities.
Email, Chat, and Messages: The Email, Chat, and Messages tools facilitate one-to-one and one-to-many communications via Sakai. Gain insights into the logistics and advantages of each tool, as well as hands-on practice using these tools to communicate with other session participants.
Discussions: The Discussions tool allows instructors to facilitate asynchronous dialogue in their course. Learn how to create forums and topics, customize settings, grade student contributions, and gain strategies to promote collaborative learning.
Conversations: The Conversations tool assists instructors with facilitating short-answer questions or longer discussions, along with tagging key posts. Learn how to create a new topic, post a question, answer questions, hide/delete/lock posts, bookmark topics, and more.
This is a single 3-hour session with a 15-minute break at the halfway mark. At the conclusion, you will have met all the requirements to earn a Sakai Communication Tools digital badge. Digital badges are issued via Credly. Registration is now open!
