Beyond the Chalkboard Season III: Episode 1 - Level Up

In the first episode of Beyond the Chalkboard Season three, Dr. Gordon Cobb talks with Leeann Waddington, the Manager of Learning Technology  and Educational Media and Lisa Gedak, the Teaching and Learning  Technologies Strategist about the development of the Level Up workshops series at KPU.  Level Up is a faculty development series created to provide faculty with opportunities to explore the foundational elements to design effective and engaging online courses.  This offering has 5 modules that include a mix of synchronous and asynchronous learning.  Created specifically to address the COVID-19 pandemic and the immediate shift to online learning at KPU, Level Up provided a space for faculty to build relationships with colleagues and experience digital delivery at the same time.  Leeann and Lisa reflect upon the goals and considerations involved in designing Level Up and what they learned  throughout the process of delivering it to over 300 faculty members over 4 months.  You won’t want to miss this fast-paced conversation about teaching in COVID times and the impact of Level Up on the culture and community of KPU.
