In the workshop ‘Beyond Zoom’ we will aim at answering some of these questions, clarify the pedagogical principles of remote learning, and present practical examples of tools that can be integrated into your courses.

The workshop is built asynchronously (pre-recorded lectures and accompanying assignments) and self-paced between the designated dates. During this time period, we hope to give an opportunity to describe issues that you have encountered and to discuss solutions with us and with your colleagues.

Additional Information:

 

In the first part of the workshop we will meet for a short Zoom meeting , in a group of 10 participants we will get to know the group members and the course of the workshop

The second part, includes a self-completion of an online workshop that deals with building an effective academic course based on asynchronous materials and submitting assignments. In this section we will find out what is a good course and what is a good course structure? Define learning outcomes for your chosen course and develop course assignments and receive feedback from the workshop facilitators. You can watch the videos and complete the workshop tasks within two weeks. The total activity time in this section is estimated at about 6 hours and can be done in a span of two weeks at times that are convenient for you, paying attention to deadlines for submitting tasks.

In the third part of the workshop we will meet in groups of 5 [half group]. The session will be face-to-face [in case of an emergency zoom], in which each of you will present a 7-minute teaching segment (from one of your courses) intended for a synchronous session (students and lecturer meet at a given time) or a video you prepared as asynchronous material. Excerpt from a recorded synchronous meeting].

In addition, workshop participants who are interested will be able to send their course syllabus to the workshop facilitators: Michal Shodel and Efrat First by e-mail and receive personalized written feedback on it.

This creation of positive expectations and recruiting students to make an effort, within only minutes, is an example of the successful management of the psychological contract. Even if you know that you do it well most years, you might want to increase the number of students who are enthusiastic about the course or put your finger on what exactly is working here. This workshop is intended to improve skills for effectively managing the psychological contract. It is offered in the week before the opening of the academic year (and/or second semester).

Learning Outcomes:

As participants in the workshop you will be able to:

• List five characteristic questions that many students ask about the course and lecturer when consolidating an opinion about them.
• Given the opening of a course you will be able to identify the direct and hidden messages in the psychological contract.
• Suggest alternatives for opening words that will make even more students enthusiastic about learning.

Likewise, much of the workshop will be devoted to getting to know alternative platforms that offer different ways, visually and chronologically, to present ideas and practice using them.

This workshop is intended for lecturers with experience in creating presentations. It is advisable to bring a personal PPT which you will be able to work on.

Among the tools that will be presented at the workshop are Prezi, Emaze, Roojoom, Sway, Google presentation (Qַַַ&A), Adobe Spark, Flipsnack, Zeetings and add-ons for PowerPoint such as: office-Mix, Participoll, polleverywhere.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the workshop you will know how to choose the most suitable tool for the needs of your presentation and be able to build an attractive presentation using the chosen tool. You will know how to gather answers to a question from the audience during the lecture and display them in the presentation, and how to enable listeners to send you questions during the lecture without disturbing its course.

Although the rumor about the many benefits of these tests has already spread far, many teachers are still afraid of implementing this possibility for various reasons. This workshop, as its name shows, enables participants to understand the range of possibilities offered by the quiz module in Moodle.

Most of the workshop will be devoted to presenting and learning about the types of questions offered by this tool and the ways in which they can be used correctly and effectively. We will get to know questions that use completion, dragging, and matching, and we will learn how we can use embedded answers (cloze questions type) in order to create more complex and advanced questions. We will talk about mixing questions and mixing distractions, how to include optional or bonus questions, and how to create different test sheets in which every student is presented with different questions. We will learn how to import questions from a word file and relate also to additional uses of this tool which do not check knowledge in order to give a grade, such as creating courseware for independent learning and generating practice tests that offer guidance, clues, and immediate feedback.

We will hear abut the possibility of using a secure internet explorer that prevents students taking the test from accessing the internet or other files on the computer during the test. In addition, we will briefly mention the role of the test in the array of assessment and measuring tools and a number of principles and emphases for writing and grading tests.

At the end of the workshop you will be able to create a test on your course website and add to it questions of all kinds. You will know how to designate automatic checking of questions that can be checked in this way, as well as building a test that will serve as courseware with immediate feedback for every answer. You be able to manage the marking system: how to cancel out questions with a low level of assessment and how to add in a grading factor. And you will know how to use this tool in “assessment for learning” and not only as a “final assessment”.

Learning Outcomes

• Participants will be introduced to a number of ways to generate interaction in large classes, among students themselves and between students and lecturer.
• They will learn how to structure presentations suited to keep students concentrated in large classes (such presentations can also serve them also in medium and small classes but will be designed especially to help the students maintain concentration in large classes).
• They will receive a number of ideas regarding how to regulate students’ emotions in large classes.

 

 

Workshop Facilitator:Dr. Michal Schodle

The aim of this workshop is to help participants understand the needs and challenges of students from various groups and to discuss the tools for tackling them. The workshop will discuss the disparities arising from differences in learning habits, knowledge, and cultural background, with an emphasis on students who are the first generation to receive higher education. We will discuss the meaning of a heterogenous class from the perspective of classroom management and relations between students.

Learning Outcomes:

The tools that you will acquire in this workshop will help you to make the classroom a place of multi-cultural encounter and enable every student to integrate and maximize his/her personal abilities.

Additional Information:

The workshop is planned in cooperation with the Center for the Study of Multiculturalism and Diversity at the university.

 

 

Workshop Facilitators:Dr. Michal Ramot & Michal Barak

We present the view that using learning outcomes as the basic building block of an academic course helps in achieving a good course structure. Learning outcomes are the things that students will know to do as a result of the learning process they experienced in the course. Learning outcomes are the core of well-structured course and the goal of the structure. Learning outcomes are not just empty statements. They are accompanied with a training program that includes course assignments. 
In this workshop we will practice course building skills by working on the participants’ courses. The workshop will provide a number of examples of what we believe are well-structured courses.

Learning Outcomes

• You will phrase learning products and/or examine learning outcomes that you phrased in the past and take a fresh look at the link between the learning outcomes and the assignments you designated.
• You will get to know a series of parameters for assessing the quality of the course structure (such as “maintaining learning pace,” “balancing content and skill,” and more).
• You will be able to look at the syllabus of any course and assess the quality of the course in terms of the parameters that were taught in the workshop and even recommend improvements.
