Teaching Excellence Series: Deliver Course Content Outside of Class
Tuesday, September 23 • 1–2:30 p.m.
In this series, Classroom Learning Experiences for Maximum Impact, we focus on how to invite students into the process of learning.
In a flipped classroom, students gather information outside of classroom through video, online readings, or other electronic sources. This allows class time to be used for applying that information through exercises and activities. This session will show you how to use online resources and ReggieNet to provide students with a variety of resources. No registration is necessary.

Discover how to easily create online instructional modules using Lesson Builder. This powerful tool allows you to integrate resources from across your ReggieNet site (tests and quizzes, assignments, discussion and discussion forums) into online lessons. Design lessons that require students to complete goals before they can proceed to the next stage. You will also learn how to integrate multimedia content. This course will also briefly discuss organizing content in other ReggieNet features, such as the Resources and Materials and Web Content tools. Prerequisite: Introduction to ReggieNet
