Telling Stories to Teach Well: How SoftChalk Can Help
Lyn Hawks, Coordinator of Independent Learning, Duke University Talent Identification Program
How does storytelling make academics better? Using narrative, characters, and case studies, Duke University Talent Identification program creates lessons for gifted K-12 students using images, audio, slide shows, hyperlinked handouts, quizzes, and various other resources. Learn how critical thinking challenges students when they are immersed in story and asked to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize.
See mathematics, language arts, and science lessons that engage students in academically rigorous scenarios. Learn how SoftChalk aids instructors in developing creative and artful lessons that don’t feel like instruction.
The session will end with a Q&A period.Wednesday, August 4

Migrating from PowerPoint: You CAN make your Online Teaching more Engaging and Interactive
Deborah Kell
Dean, Instructional Systems and Institutional Effectiveness
Director, Virtual College and Professional Development
Mercer County Community CollegeAs educators, we know that the best way to reach our students is with the use of interactive and engaging strategies. However, our online students are often inundated with PowerPoint presentations that carry little more than illustrated bullet points. Busy faculty members are understandably reluctant to devote a great deal of time to learn how to produce more dynamic online content – including multimedia.
Join us in this session as we demonstrate just how easy it is to take an existing PowerPoint and turn it into web content for training or teaching with built-in navigation, interactive activities, accessibility compliance, and professionally-produced streaming video clips. The presentation will describe the use of SoftChalk and INTELECOM as resources for accomplishing this migration.
The session will end with a Q&A period.Wednesday, September 22
