2019-08-02 14:00 - 15:00 (America/Chicago) | International Center, Room 102, 118 College Drive #9649, Hattiesburg, MS, 39406
Web conferencing is a way for instructors to synchronously communicate with students online, in real time. Currently, USM has three different applications that facilitate web conferencing: Big Blue Button, Yuja Video Classroom, and Skype Meetings. Each application has certain benefits and limitations. This workshop is designed as an overview of each application. Topics included within this workshop are:

Application functionality

Connection to a course (Canvas)

Session archiving/recording

Big Blue Button and Yuja are developing new versions of their web conferencing products. Those update will be discussed in detail. Skype Meetings have not had any significant updates but this option will also be sufficiently discussed.
This workshop is led by Mark Ferguson. If you need more information, please contact Mark Ferguson at mark.ferguson@usm.edu, or call 601.266.6581.
DISCLAIMER: your department or school may have purchased a license for another web conferencing product other that what is listed above (like Zoom). In that case, we can certainly discuss your product during the session but USM will not offer any training or support for this product.

Canvas Workshop - Objectives for Online Classes
2019-01-14 13:30 - 14:30 | International Center, Room 102, 118 College Drive #9649, Hattiesburg, MS, 39406
Objectives are important parts of online classes. They help students understand what they are responsible for mastering by the end of the course and how they will demonstrate mastery to instructors. However, objectives are often overlooked when developing a course. This workshop is designed to help instructors understand the importance of objectives, how to develop them, and how to write them from the student prospective.
The workshop will be led by Susan Rayborn, with Mark Ferguson assisting. If you have any question, please contact Susan Rayborn (susan.rayborn@usm.edu) or Mark Ferguson (mark.ferguson@usm.edu).

2019-01-14 10:00 - 11:00 | International Center, Room 102, 118 College Drive #9649, Hattiesburg, MS, 39406
Canvas is developing a new Gradebook. This Gradebook contains features unavailable in the current version of the Gradebook, like automatic deductions for late assignments. While this Gradebook is still in beta testing, instructors can use it within their courses rather than the current Gradebook version. This workshop walks instructors through adding the new Gradebook to their course, grading assignments within the new Gradebook, and using the new Gradebook features.
This workshop is led by Mark Ferguson. If you need more information, please contact Mark Ferguson at mark.ferguson@usm.edu, or call 601.266.6581.
