Building content that is mobile friendly should be on everyone’s radar when it comes to educating today’s Generation C student. The first step is to maximize the free Blackboard Mobile app, available on iOS and Google Play. The Bb app allows faculty to customize courses, view/edit discussion postings, launch announcements, view content, check your roster, and upload documents using Dropbox. Second of all, mobile friendly content can be built directly in the Bb course environment using the mobile assessment tool and pre-built HTML5 templates. Join this workshop to see how to tap into mobile teaching and learning.

Welcome to the Scholars' Cafe! This is a new CTL initiative this fall. It's a chance to meet with other faculty over coffee, to discuss the latest in the teaching and learning literature. It's like a book club, but for journal articles.

The Scholars' Cafe will meet at 10 a.m. on the first Friday of each month, and engage in informal discussion about a selected paper from the teaching and learning literature. 

This month's paper is entitled "Technology-enhanced learning and teaching in higher education: what is ‘enhanced’ and how do we know? A critical literature review ". The abstract can be viewed here: dx.doi.org/10.1080/17439884.2013.770404. A pdf of the article will be sent to you upon registration, or you can email Renee Burt (renee.burt@humber.ca) to request a copy.

Please join us for coffee and a collegial discussion on Friday, October 6 from 10:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. in North: D225I (CTL Boardroom).
