More Details

This workshop will focus on the pedagogical value of polling and breakout sessions. We’ll share ideas about how to use these tools effectively in the Zoom classroom and take turns sharing the hosting so you can see what it looks like from the host perspective. Although some participants will have the opportunity to practice as co-host, the main purpose of the session is to think creatively about how to make the best pedagogical use of these technological tools in the remote, synchronous classroom.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
