TELS Portfolio of Work

The 57 Second Blackboard Tips come out weekly on the YC portal and the TELS YouTube channel. These tips range from "click here to do that" tips to tips that address online learning and instruction in general.

Since 2006, we have coordinated the Summer and Winter Faculty Training Institutes, where faculty members and the TELS staff present workshops on a wide range of topics. Below is an example of one of the workshops from 2010. See more at our Grou.ps site.

TELS developed a new class for the college that was first offered in the summer of 2009 titled EDU255: Fundamentals of Educational Technology. The class focuses on web 2.0 technology and its uses in the classroom. Class curicullum is appropriate for online college courses as well as K-12. Find out more and see student work at the EDU255 blog.

One way to personalize your online class is to add a custom banner to the course. TELS will make one for you with the information and graphics that fit your needs. Below are a few examples of our work. Click here to see a selection of banners we have made.

Part of our work at TELS involves remaining ahead of current trends and uses of available technologies. Web 2.0 potential and the continuing evolution of the web demand that we seek out and understand the technologies that may effect education in the future. This embedded Jing video is an example of one of those technologies.

The TELS Webletter is an ongoing project that highlights a few informative teaching articles each month in blog form. It is our hope to foster dialogue between faculty in an environment that nurtures new faculty and allows all faculty members to contribute to a learning community.
