Technology Enhanced Learning Centre (TELC) Spring 2022 Newsletter
This hands-on Newsletter is divided into three thematic areas: Learning Technology Innovation; E-Learning Content Development; Training and Disseminating Best Practice.
The Learning Technology Innovation section comprises articles on: 1. Horizon Workrooms (a VR collaborative workspace)—an example of Workrooms has been set up by TELC and is now viewable upon request to faculty and staff; 2. Miro (an online collaborative whiteboard); 3. Stream (on SharePoint), a new video service in Office 365 which is available upon request to faculty and staff; 4. Level up gamification app in Moodle; 5. WebEx Meetings new features for April; 6. the use of Office 365 Forms (especially in Outlook, PPT and Teams); 7. Proctorio’s breakthrough in bandwidth requirements.
In the E-Learning Content Development section there is an overview of Branching in Articulate Storyline 360 content authoring software and the use of Office 365 Visio (Visio is software for drawing a variety of diagrams).
The Training and Disseminating Best Practice section contains various papers from UNIC faculty, a UNIC PhD student and TELC.
TELC offers training and support on the above technologies to faculty and staff.
We therefore wish you good reading!
Will we be teaching in VR avatar classrooms in the future?
Horizon Workrooms (beta) is the VR space for teams to connect, collaborate and develop ideas, together. Meet teammates across the table, even if you’re across the world.
After testing and doing thorough research on Miro, we (TELC) believe that this online collaborative whiteboard platform will be great for faculty to use to bring teams together, anytime, anywhere.
A new vision for Microsoft Stream empowers users to create, share, discover, and manage video just as they would any other file.
