Översikt

  • Materials for further reading/watching

    Now that I received your replies on how you would prefer the materials to be organized, this Materials folder will contain "extra" materials, but those materials pertaining to the particular sessions will be in each session folder. This is one of the limiting factors in MyCourses and if you have found innovative ways of dealing with this, please let the rest of us know about it!

      Example of a microlearning nugget URL

      Microlearning nuggets can be useful materials for your courses. Here is an example I came up with, something like this takes quite a while to produce, at least for the first time, but now that it's done, I can use it in all my writing courses. If you have some focused items to teach, think about it, this may help you as we have to continue teaching online in the fall.

      Time concept allows you to quickly realize what ethnocentricism feels like. These are different ways of experiencing time, none of them superior or inferior. It is interesting to explore how time can be seen so differently.
