The learning objectives of this course are to: (1) Utilize and integrate live/instant response tools into online classes, (2) Integrate interactive offline feedback tools into online class, and (3) Utilize online assisting grading tools for online classes. The course is designed to equip educators with some technology tools that make online/remote class delivery more effective and engaging. While there is no magic technology tool that can improve all aspects of class delivery (One size will not fit all!), it is possible to overcome the challenge and customize the use of these tools to our needs and wisely use them to achieve the desired improvements. It is also true that technology is capable of providing great solutions but it can be a distraction and waste of time and effort if not utilized properly. This class will introduce four technology tools for Instant response/feedback (including REEF, Menti, Piazza, Kahoot) and 1 online grading tool (Gradescope). Hands-on activities will be presented to practice these 5 tools and guidelines will be given to complete a project that requires the use of at least 2 of these tools in the context of the educator’s own teaching field.
