Non-MD Online Learning
In our continuing effort to provide training and support to faculty moving classes online, the Delphi Center has created two new training opportunities to address more specific needs.
- Blackboard Collaborate Ultra - This web conferencing tool can be used to meet synchronously (at the same time) with your students. Sessions start Friday morning and run all next week -- even Saturday!
- Panopto – You can use this tool to record audio and/or video lectures. Your students can also use it for recording presentations. Sessions start Friday and run to Tuesday.
The use of these tools can make the transition to online much easier. Please reserve your spot soon by clicking on the links above, and don’t forget about our other trainings designed to get you started:
- Online Module you can complete at your own pace (available now)
- In-Person Classroom Trainings to be held in the TILL Classroom in Ekstrom Library
- Live Virtual Trainings to be held via Blackboard Collaborate from any location
If you have any questions about moving your class online, please call or email Aimee Greene at aimee.greene@louisville.edu or 852-4482.
