WHO YA GONNA’ CALL?

I want to teach a campus hybrid course, but heard about some type of required Hybrid Training.

TAC MENTOR

  I love the courses I teach and have been very successful teaching them in the traditional format. I’m ready to move them online now.

 

ELI INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER

All the students in my class are looking at Facebook instead of paying attention to my PowerPoint Slides

CETL FACULTY ADVOCATE

This is the first time I have taught! I’ve been in the profession for years, though. Why is this so HARD?

CETL FACULTY ADVOCATE

I was in the process of uploading an assignment on Blackboard and just couldn't get it to work.  Who can I call to get some type of assistance?

TAC MENTOR

I was so excited! I designed a GREAT assignment and posted it in my Blackboard course.  I was so very sure that my students would love this assignment and have great success in completing it. Darn it though…it completely flopped.  I guess I need help writing instructions for assignments

ELI INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER

I really want to improve my course and use some of the latest technology tools available. I just don't know where to get started

TAC MENTOR

I’ve had a hard day – where can I blow off some steam.

CETL FACULTY ADVOCATE

I would like my students to work in groups and would like them to work together on a combination of online activities and classroom activities.  Is there anyone who can help me design some activities, pretty please?

ELI INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNERCETL FACULTY ADVOCATES

I have a major presentation to do, and I’m worried about it.

CETL FACULTY ADVOCATE

I've heard so much about iPads in the classroom. I'd really like to try one out before I purchase one and learn more about apps that are available. Is there a place where I can go and test?

TAC MENTOR

I’ve been asked to prepare a new course.  I am very comfortable teaching courses where I help my students develop entry-level skills.  The new course will require me to engage students in higher-level critical thinking though.  Is there someone I can bat some ideas around with on how to teach critical thinking?

CETL FACULTY ADVOCATEELI INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER

I’m tired of lecturing; what else can I do

CETL FACULTY ADVOCATE

.I have tried to design a few discussion activities for my students to work on using the Discussion Board feature in Blackboard.  The activities simply don’t seem to be engaging my students though.  Can someone take a look at these activities and help me?

ELI INSTRUCTIONAL DESIGNER

When I was hired, the Dean talked about Blackboard Competency and Blackboard Certification. I don't quite understand the difference between the two. Who do I contact?

TAC MENTOR

Scenarios to ask re CETLfor “Who ya gonna call?”1. All the students in my class are looking at Facebook instead of paying attention to

my PowerPoint Slides2. My dean says that my lectures are boring3. I have a major presentation to do, and I’m worried about it.4. I’m tired of lecturing; what else can I do5. My student complain that my exams don’t test the material that I teach6. I have no idea what my students are understanding7. I want to network with my colleagues more8. I’m new here and I need help figuring things out9. This is the first time I have taught! I’ve been in the profession for years, though.

Why is this so hard.10. I want to read more about pedagogy11. I’ve had a hard day – where can I blow off some steam.12. I work about a zillion hours a day – I never see my kids and my exercise program

is shot.13. I’ve been an adjunct here for a long time and I have an interview for a full time

position coming up.14. I’m tired of technology. Is it OK to go low-tech? What would be a powerful way to

do that?15. I want to change the way I teach – maybe be more collaborative?
