Free Courses and Workshops
Get to know the new Blackboard Learning Management System before term begins!
The University of Windsor is in the process of transitioning from our old learning management system, CLEW, to Blackboard. Some courses are already using Blackboard to provide students with course materials, to engage them with its interactive tools, and to manage their grades. Starting Fall 2015, a number of Faculties, including Nursing, Law, Human Kinetics, Education, and Business will be completely migrated to the new system, and by Winter 2016, the whole campus will be using Blackboard. Discover the power of Blackboard and how to navigate this new tool.
An online course is already available for you directly through the Blackboard site. Returning GAs and TAs can simply log into Blackboard at https://blackboard.uwindsor.ca, and click their Courses tab to find the “Introduction to Blackboard: TAs/GAs” course. This course introduces Blackboard from the instructor’s perspective. Additionally, all registered students at UWindsor, will have access to the “Student Orientation: All” online course, (also visible from the Courses tab), to help out from the student’s perspective.
If you don’t see one or both of these courses, please email lmsadmin@uwindsor.ca, and provide your Uwin ID and request to be added to the missing course(s).
Face-to-face workshops will be available to GAs and TAs starting in August. Please register at http://cleo.uwindsor.ca/workshops/80/, and select the “Do You Need Blackboard for What You’ll Do? An Introduction for TAs & GAs” workshop.
SAVE THE DATE for GATAcademy 2015!
SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2015
Hopefully everyone is enjoying a restful summer so far! While summer is just beginning for many people and the Fall semester is but a distant thought, please keep in mind the scheduled date for GATAcademy, as it falls on the week before classes start. GATAcademy 2015 is scheduled for Thursday, September 3rd, 2015.
If you are feeling rusty after having the summer off or are feeling a bit anxious about starting a new role at the University of Windsor, the GATAcademy is here to help ease the pain of transitioning into these roles.
GATAcademy 2015 is a full-day professional development event open to all current and prospective UWindsor graduate assistants (GAs) and teaching assistants (TAs). Offering a series of interactive workshops led by experienced professionals from across the campus, GATAcademy 2015 will feature resources and activities relevant to both new and experienced GAs/TAs. A FREE LUNCH will also be provided!
Stay tuned for more details on registration. For the time being, please keep Thursday, September 3rd, 2015 in mind for GATAcademy 2015.
