Please see the announcements below regarding “Moodle” and “Clickers” workshops scheduled over the next couple of weeks.
MOODLE is a learning management system that makes it very easy for courses to have a presence on the web. If you are interested in getting started with Moodle or want to learn more about its interactive features, consider attending one of these workshops. The introductory workshops will focus on fundamentals and will work towards building a dynamic syllabus in Moodle. The advanced workshop will focus on ways to engage your students in collaborative work in Moodle.
If you are interested in attending a Moodle workshop, please contact Arno Damerow (damerowa@lawrence.edu).

CLICKERS are a new classroom technology that the Committee on Academic Technology evaluated last academic year. Clickers are small keypad devices that allow a student to answer a multiple choice question and have their response sent to a receiver attached to a computer. The computer automatically tallies the responses and displays a summary graph for both instructor and students to see. On Wednesday, September 19, a representative from the Turning Point software company will be on campus demonstrating how a simple Powerpoint presentation can be used to collect and display live classroom surveys.
If you are interested in attending a Clicker workshop, please contact David Berk (berkd@lawrence.edu).
