FOI Innovation Lab
Innovation lab: Increasing student motivation with online tools
Facilitator: Fran Keefe, Learning Architect
This will be a Zoom-only workshop, with hands-on activities. Learners will be asked to participate in hands-on portions of the workshop by working in their own canvas sandbox course. We will investigate instructional methods and explore some of the factors that influence student motivation. We will look at tools available online and in canvas that you can use to help increase student motivation.
Tools we will explore include:
Credly: This is a canvas integrated badging tool that you can use for students in your courses.
Choice Boards: We will explore some tools for creating choice boards, and using them with Canvas, with a focus on student motivation
The Fundamentals of Online Instruction Innovation Lab is a Special Topics course. Familiarity with Canvas, and prior participation in Fundamentals of Online Instruction are recommended, but not required.
The Innovation Labs are generally a blended format, with some online and some face-to-face work. Labs on different topics will be offered every Fall and Spring.
