Teaching with Sakai Webinar Series: Background

At the 2011 Sakai Conference, there was substantial interest in establishing a monthly, live, synchronous, online course (or project site) demonstration by faculty at different Sakai institutions. The intent is to provide examples to interested community members and to highlight the wonderful wealth of resources in our Sakai community! This can be an exciting professional development opportunity for all of us -- and our collective participation is essential to our collective success. The goals of this effort is to:

• Host one presentation per month (September 2011 to May 2012) and represent a variety of institution types, disciplines, and countries.
• Expand our local professional development efforts while developing deeper cross-institutional collaboration and sharing.

Who Should Attend

Anyone who is interested in learning about ways Sakai is being used to enhance teaching and learning should attend! These sessions are useful for faculty, instructional design and support staff, technologists, administrators, and developers. We encourage interested individuals at Sakai institutions to setup "watch parties" with faculty and instructors so that all can participate in a community-wide discussion as well as follow-up local discussions.

The idea is for faculty and staff from Sakai institutions across the globe to share teaching practices and expertise via web conferencing so that we may all learn, be inspired, and innovate.
