Judy Stern, Educational Technology Services
In case you missed them, ETS (Educational Technology Services) is repeating some of the events we held in August, designed to help you learn about building course websites.
Want to learn about the three course website building systems — CourseWeb, WebCT, and Blackboard — the UC Berkeley campus is currently supporting? Come to any of our presentations during which we'll demonstrate these tools, cover the administrative and pedagogical reasons for using each, and answer the questions you have about when you might want to use these or other tools.
Sessions will be held in 117 Dwinelle Hall from 12 noon to 1 p.m. on:
Monday, October 28
Tuesday, October 29
Monday, November 25
Tuesday, November 26
In addition, following each session (from 1 to 1:30 p.m.) computers and helpful staff will be available in 117 Dwinelle so that you can make changes to your CourseWeb site or register for a WebCT or Blackboard site. (If you want to make changes to your CourseWeb site, be sure you know your Calnet ID and passphrase.)
No registration required. Bring your lunch.
