August 24, 2009. Get ready for the fall semester by attending our Faculty Development Workshop and Fall Premiere series, where you'll learn all you need to know about course management, collaboration, and educational media tools.

These hands-on workshops will take you through the basic features of CourseWorks, Columbia's course management system, and Columbia Wikispaces, a wiki solution provided to every registered course. Explore uses of podcasting in teaching with the workshops Podcasting Essentials and iTunes U , or learn how online video can be used in the classroom in the Using Online Video for Teaching workshop. Workshops are hosted by CCNMTL and are held in the Faculty Support Lab located in 204 Butler Library and in the Hammer Building Rm 202A Computer Lab, Health Sciences Library.

And, don't forget to register for the Fall Premiere, CCNMTL's annual event for faculty to discover the latest teaching technologies offered at Columbia University, including the new course blogging platform, EdBlogs, and Columbia's channel on YouTube.
