Lunch & Learn Sessions

CODL hosts faculty sessions focusing on ideas, issues, and resources for online and hybrid learning.  We hope you will join us for these campus discussion opportunities.  If not, video versions will be available following most sessions.

The next Lunch & Learn will be held on February 11, 2015 at noon in the Kansas Union. The featured presenter will be Dr. Brad Osborn, Assistant Professor of Music Theory. The details will be announced soon.

Our last L&L event was held on November 12, 2014.
The November Lunch & Learn was presented by Dr. Jerry Crawford, Julia Murray, Renée Hewitt and John Rinnert and was titled, "Student Engagement Outside of Class Using Blackboard Collaborate." This panel discussed how a new option, Blackboard Collaborate, can effectively connect students, faculty and learning from wherever you are. The panel covered student reactions, the learning curve, how Collaborate incorporated into teaching and learning, and lessons learned along the way. A brief demonstration of Blackboard Collaborate was provide to help you think about ways it could be leveraged in your course.
 
Spring 2015 Lunch & Learn events will be held in February, March and April. The details will be posted here as they become available.
