Faculty and Staff Institute

This session is geared toward instructors who have discovered how effective it is to teach via the inductive method (instead of deductive), and would like to know what tools LearningHub has available in order to implement this learning method in their current (and future) courses. This training session assumes that the audience has previous LearningHub experience, we will expand on the use of some of Moodle’s basic tools (Assignment, forum, glossary, etc.). To take full advantage of this session, please bring your laptop to work in your own session-provided class space.

Alternative/Flexible Seating, Yanina C. Jimenez

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

Uncomfortable work areas are difficult for anyone to handle for seven hours a day, particularly children, who are told to remain seated while doing their schoolwork. Providing flexible, soft, and alternative seating to little ones enables them to move, release their energy, and be happier and more comfortable in a kid-friendly classroom while doing their work.
