About me

I am a career educator (27+ years) in higher education at the university and career college level.    I love helping colleagues put the pieces together to learn how to be the best instructor/educator possible.

Activity

Andrew, This is so true. That is why courses like this are so important so that instructors know what is expected of them and their institution. Then maybe a conversation can start. Renee Shaffer
Andrew, Yes, but think of the creativity inherent in dance and choreography as with other art forms. Renee Shaffer
Cyndy, Yes, I am sure you are like me and question how students who cannot "craft a three sentence email" can then somewhow send in stellar writing assignments. That is where plagiarism checks like Turnitin and Safe Assign come in. We as instructors can educated students in this digital era that copying is not kosher. Information literacy needs to start from an early age in my opinion. Renee Shaffer
Jocelyn, So true. Besides taking away the comprehensive, it can literally be so distracting that students cannot view the materials. Renee Shaffer
David, Good points. It is also good to remove all the colorful lettering and fonts and use sans serif fonts. Renee Shaffer
Cyndy, Oh, I love that! I will have to tell my local college librarian this. Renee Shaffer
Jocelyn, Transcripts are such a key though they do take extra time on the part of the instructor. Renee Shaffer

Jocelyn, Though it might look nice to some, moving images and multiple colors can be problematic for some students. Renee Shaffer
