This project consists of a series of webinars to improve the educational outcomes for every deaf and hard of hearing student by providing teachers with tools and data to make informed decisions. These webinars provide information related to progress monitoring principles and procedures.  They take approximately 4-5 hours to complete and include a quiz and certificate of completion.

The Pedagogy and Student Services for Institutional Transformation Project (PASS IT) was developed to inform educators about the implementation of Universal Design in postsecondary settings. Specifically, PASS IT provides professional development resources for faculty and instructional staff and student services personnel that address work-scope-specific ideas for creating more inclusive learning environments for all students. In 2008, PASS IT approached ATS to create a video for distribution on both DVD and the Internet. This video is an opportunity to share our experiences with this model from both faculty and student perspectives.

This project enables online students to experience the kinds of activities that are currently used in the face-to-face course setting. Activities for EPSY 3264 were designed to help students better understand different statistical ideas and concepts, and provide students with additional opportunities to become more actively engaged in their learning. Statistics games and activities engage and motivate in the statistics classroom, whether online or not, and help learners better understand and visualize abstract ideas.

This project promotes interactive sharing of student-generated videos for peer review among a cohort of in-service teachers. Students share videos via MediaMill and VideoANT, and work within a course site in Web Vista.

Mia Dubosarsky, Curriculum & Instruction

This project intends to create a video library of instructional videos featuring in-service K-12 science teachers for use by C&I faculty. These videos will be used to demonstrate real-world applications of different teaching techniques for pre-service teachers in C&I (and, hopefully, the greater CEHD community).

Richard Beach, Curriculum & Instruction

The intent of this project is to enhance critical thinking skills of pre-service teachers through the video annotation process. Several video tutorials will be developed and will provide in-depth examples of using VideoANT for the interactive review and critical analysis of student-produced video content.

The intention to "move traditional teaching of anatomy to the web," out of the classroom is the driving force behind this project. To achieve this goal, a series of podcasts with highlights from instructional content will be developed. An existing tool, Quiz Bowl, will be modified and enhanced to improve usability and facilitate active learning and group problem solving.

Online learning modules (created with UMConnect) will help students hone their public presentation skills and develop the expertise needed to give an effective presentation through modeling both effective and ineffective presentations.
