Welcome back, but again, not quite a full week. I had two work days and half a vacation day so my work week technically ended on Tuesday.
I spent most of my time working through a couple of help desk tickets and catching up on all the new resources for faculty and students that are available. I’ll be looking for places where there are hand outs or screencasts that I could create for support. I also started preparing for getting back into workshop mode next week. I need to clean up some of the course shells I used for studio sessions and make sure they’re ready for some new users.
I have some priorities that I’ll work on next week, in particular getting familiar with what’s coming for the Kaltura upgrade and doing some practicing with screen cast/video production.
Outside of NIC I was invited to facilitate a Facilitating Learning Online (FLO) bootcamp session for BCcampus this week. I really enjoyed it. We worked with instructors from across the province on course re-design. It was interesting to get a peek at what’s happening at other institutions. They covered a lot of material in four days. In fact I used to facilitate a similar course that ran for five weeks…
Back to three days a week for the rest of the month. Lots of emails to follow up with on Monday.
