This fall we'll highlight guest speakers from leading educational institutions who are using SoftChalk in innovative ways.
September: Teaching Educators How to Teach Online using SoftChalk Lessons
Sharon Rifkin, District Director, e-Learning Programs/Faculty, Broward College, Florida
This session will show how Broward College provides the necessary professional development to educators wishing to teach online. Through a series of online classes and workshops, Broward has realized their need to properly train and ‘certify’ educators that do online teaching. SoftChalk can provide exciting and interactive activities that include content, video tutorials, links, learning activities and assessments that satisfy learning outcomes. During the presentation you will see demonstrations of the content Broward has created. A Q&A session will end the presentation.

October: Create Content that Meets Quality Matters Standards for Online Courses
Sharon Rifkin, District Director, e-Learning Programs/Faculty, Broward College, Florida
Samita Ghoshal, Instructional Designer/Faculty, Lone Star College, Texas
With a FIPSE grant Quality Matters developed a set of forty specific elements, distributed across eight broad standards, by which to evaluate the design of online and hybrid courses. These standards help to design the layout of a course, making sure it is optimizing student learning.
SoftChalk provides the unique opportunity to build rich, interactive content material in compliance with these Quality Matters (QM) Standards. Using SoftChalk, the QM rubric can be applied to meet the required standards easily and effectively. These standards include: accessibility, defining learning objectives, student engagement, and course navigation (to name a few). During this presentation we will describe the standards and show examples of how SoftChalk can be used to meet them. A Q&A session will end the presentation.
