Vendor Hosted

iClicker Events is designed to allow participants easy access without the need to create an iClicker account, register for a course, or purchase a subscription. In this 20-minute session learn more about how this latest feature works and how you may create Events outside the classroom. No iClicker account required! This session is vendor hosted and facilitated by Missouri Online.

Note: iClicker is free for MU but is a student cost at UMKC and UMSL.  It is not currently available at Missouri S&T.

In this session, participants will see a full tour of the new VoiceThread interface. We will review the changes to the media player, including jump commenting, bulk actions, and the “one conversation” setting. We will also see the improved VoiceThread homepage and learn how to access assignments.

Rooted in modern pedagogy and enhanced by generative AI, the iClicker AI Question Creator enables instructors to effortlessly craft and deploy unique questions that facilitate an interactive and engaged classroom experience. Tailored to fit any discipline or topic, the question creator allows educators to specify the desired level of rigor, course level, and learning taxonomy, ensuring the questions align with their teaching goals, which we will cover in this 30-minute session. Additionally, we will touch on some other pedagogical practices to help you get the most out of the software. This session is vendor hosted and facilitated by Missouri Online.

Participants will learn how to upload media, comment and annotate on that media, and share it with others. This will be a slow paced, step-by-step, hands-on workshop. It is open to both VoiceThread license holders and free accounts.

We will discuss how collaborative annotation with Hypothesis can be used to make student reading visible, active, and social. Topics covered in this session include:

• Learning how students can look up difficult words or unknown allusions in a text and share their research as annotations.
• Pre-populating a text with questions for students to reply to in annotations or notes elucidating important points as they read.
• Have students identify formal textual elements and broader social and historical contexts at work in specific passages.
• Have students share their personal opinions on a controversial topic as discussed by an article.

The new Assignments activity type in iClicker Cloud extends iClicker’s signature student engagement experience to asynchronous class meetings. The Assignments feature allows instructors to upload pre-authored questions to gather student feedback, encourage participation, and gauge understanding. Students can still feel like they are active participants in their courses by responding to Assignments at their own pace, from wherever they may be. Assignments are great for pre-class, post-class, breakout, or lab activities in synchronous classes, too! This session is vendor hosted and facilitated by Missouri Online.

We will begin to explore the features available to VoiceThreaders with a full license. Participants will learn how to create groups and subgroups, set sharing permissions within those groups, and privately share VoiceThreads with individuals.

In this session, Dr. Raelynne Hale from Kansas State University will showcase a variety of VoiceThreads from her language courses. Dr. Hale is an Assistant Professor and Spanish Language Program Co-coordinator. It is open to both VoiceThread license holders and free accounts.

In our third workshop in the series, participants will learn how to give private feedback, use threaded commenting, copy VoiceThreads for use with multiple groups, and use comment moderation to formatively assess student work.

The emergence of cutting-edge technologies, like ChatGPT, has sparked a critical conversation throughout the education industry. In this workshop, the Hypothesis team will show you how to leverage social annotation to encourage authentic, process-oriented engagement with your course materials. They’ll also share best practices for using social annotation with AI writing tools and demonstrate how to set up hypothesis-enabled readings in your LMS. Participants can expect to leave the webinar armed with concrete assignments to implement in your courses right away.
