Tags send-to-undergraduate-screen information technology faculty technology institute client service workshop 10:30–11:45am Getting Started with Moodle Getting Started with Moodle Moodle is a web-based content management system that makes it easy for groups to securely interact, collaborate, communicate and share materials on the web. First, we’ll introduce you to Moodle and tell you about the various tools it offers to help you reach your students beyond the classroom. Then we will take you through the basics of setting up your Moodle course. 10:30–11:45am (to 5/14) Location: Dubach PC This event was posted by Lewis & Clark: IT.

If your project files, lecture notes, or any other vital data live only on your local computer, you are one hard drive crash away from losing it all.

Today’s society is highly visual, and visual imagery is no longer supplemental to other forms of information. New digital technologies have made it possible for almost anyone to create and share visual media. Yet the pervasiveness of images and visual media does not necessarily mean that individuals are able to critically view, use, and produce visual content. Individuals must develop these essential skills in order to engage capably in a visually-oriented society. This workshop will discuss this “new literacy” necessary in a world which inundates us with visual media which often goes unquestioned. Through activities and discussion, we will ask the tough questions: How does the study, use, citation/attribution, and critical engagement with images and visual resources differ from text? How can we thread this into instruction and research in an engaging and meaningful way? How are students approaching and engaging with images versus texts? I will also cover work that I’ve been doing on an International and National level on the Competencies, Standards, and Guidelines over the past 2 years. 10:30–11:45am (to 5/14) Location: Geary This event was posted by Lewis & Clark: IT.
