Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest in participating in the New Faculty Community of Practice get-together.

-
Friday, March 24 – 10:30am via Zoom - Topic - Classroom Technology

Wednesday, April 19th - 4pm - Format and Topic (TBD)
We are planning to talk to Judd Hark, the CITL Learning Spaces Team Manager, for the first session on March 24. Judd has been working with faculty as an instructional technologist at Lehigh for many years, as well as managing classroom technology. Judd and his team have been hard at work upgrading many, many classrooms since the shift from all-remote to back on-campus. He will have strategies for multi-modal teaching, as well as how to get help when needed. Judd is an amazing resource for making sure your classroom technology aligns with your teaching. We’ll also get your input on the meeting format and topic for the April 19 session.
These sessions are meant to foster discussion and sharing, so we won’t be recording but will happily share any resources in the New Faculty Community of Practice Slack channel or via email. We look forward to connecting with you all!

Immersive Learning is an experiential methodology that utilizes Virtual Reality (VR) to teach and train in a safe and engaging immersive environment by simulating real-world locations and scenarios. It combines the sense of presence of VR with data science and spatial design to improve retention and student engagement. Uptale is a web based authoring platform for creating your own custom immersive - and interactive - learning experiences. It requires no coding background and utilizes 360 video and imagery, along with a simple drag-and-drop approach, to make building VR experiences easy. Uptale is available to all Lehigh users, so even your students can learn, build, and share. In this hands-on workshop, learn how to get started with Uptale to start your journey with immersive learning. You'll also be able to test and explore what you've built using a VR headset.
Please use the registration link to RSVP in advance so that we can ensure that your own Uptale account is provisioned for you. Come with your own laptop (or just follow along!)
