TEL@CoSS Drop-In Workshops

TEL@CoSS offer regular webinars for staff who wish to explore and/or update their knowledge of the digital tools available at the university. 

Please make your selection below. 

Echo360

Tuesday 30 April: 13-14.00

Echo360 is the University’s lecture-capture video platform. Lecturers can record teaching events such as timetabled lectures, and share these in Moodle. There are also features to engage students such as Q&A and polls that you can run during and after these events. In addition, there are tools to assist with media editing, content management and analytics, and an integration with Zoom meetings.

This workshop will review the features of Echo360 as a foundation for improving student engagement and demonstrate the available tools.

Moodle Quiz

Thursday 2 May: 15.30-16.30

Moodle quizzes are very powerful activities that can meet many teaching needs, from simple, multiple-choice knowledge tests, drag and drop exercises, to complex self-assessment tasks with detailed feedback. They can be used for formative exercises such as weekly learning check-ins, and summative assessment.

This webinar will demonstrate how to set these up, add questions and build a question bank that can be shared with colleagues and used across multiple courses.

It will also demonstrate how to use ChatGPT to create multiple choice tests that can be uploaded to Moodle.

Rollover a Moodle Course to the New Baseline Template

Wednesday 8 May: 13:30-15.00

Copying existing courses into a new Moodle structure typically involves reorganising some content into different sections. In this workshop we'll go step by step through a process to copy content from an existing course into the University’s Baseline Template. We’ll also practice different methods for copying content between Moodle courses.

Participants will work with their own dummy courses to copy content over to the University’s Baseline Moodle Template and ensure that existing content ends up in the correct sections of the new Moodle.

Please note that the Course Creation Wizard is only available to users with ‘Manager’ permissions in Moodle. 

Using Moodle Logs and Reports to Explore Student Activity

Friday 10 May: 14 - 15:00

Would you like to know more about how students are interacting with your Moodle course, track activity completion, get data summaries, understand Moodle logs, and use the custom reports created by the University?

Everything that people do in Moodle is logged, and this webinar will show you how to use this data to improve the learning and teaching experience for your students.
