What's New with CourseWeb: Based on user feedback, the CourseWeb
project team has updated and improved the system that creates a basic
website for all UC Berkeley courses. Whether or not you've made
changes to your CourseWeb site, ETS invites you to come to one of
these short sessions to learn about the new features that will be
released during the Spring 2003 semester! Bring your CalNet ID and
passphrase with you if you want to log in and edit your CourseWeb
site using our portable lab after the session is over. Sessions will
be held in 117 Dwinelle Hall from noon to 1 pm on January 9, January
15, February 3, February 4. No registration required. Bring your
lunch.
Course Website Tools Orientation: Want to learn about the 3 course
website building systems -- CourseWeb, WebCT, and Blackboard -- the
UC Berkeley campus is currently supporting? Come to one of these
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. In addition, following each session 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;
you'll need to know your CalNet ID and passphrase in order to log
into the system. (See https://calnet.berkeley.edu/ if you don't have
an active CalNet ID -- or aren't sure -- or if you've forgotten your
passphrase.) Sessions will be held in 117 Dwinelle Hall from noon to
1 pm on January 16, February 19, and March 18. No registration
required. Bring your lunch.
Campus Web Video Orientation: When included on the web, video and
audio have the potential to enhance the learning experience. What are
your options for adding video to your web site? What equipment do you
need to have? What do you need to do? In this talk, we'll address all
these questions, focusing on the UC Berkeley campus resources
(services and equipment) that are available to help you in this
endeavor. This session will be held in Dwinelle 117 from noon to 1:30
on Tuesday, February 25. No registration required. Bring your lunch.
