Lectures and Absorb Activities: Strategies For The Digital Classroom

Primary Presenter: Michael Edwards

Co-Presenters: Crystal Gasell and David Lyons

Organization: CU Online

Role: Academic Technology Coordinator

Track: General Presentation

Topic: Lecture Capture

Level: For Mere Mortals

Abstract: There is a common wisdom that lectures or other "absorb" activities are inferior teaching strategies compared to "do" or "connect" activities, but there is a time and a place for the didactics of efficient knowledge presentation. Come and learn about uses of absorb activities including storytelling, guided tours, and screencasting, as well as how to identify contexts ripe for these approaches to teaching.

Bio: Michael Edwards works for CU Online at CU Denver as an Academic Technology Coordinator, where he facilitates training for faculty teaching with technology and keeps his bearings on the latest in the academic tech world. Mike also teaches online in the School of Education's Information Learning Technology program, offering a course on Webinars & Synchronous Learning Events. His current projects include UCD's LMS migration to Canvas and a budding eText initiative for harnessing the full spectrum of digital texts, from user-generated content to publisher licensed textbooks. Mike earned his M. Ed. in Career & Technology Education from BGSU in 2007.
