It's a Tip-within-a-Tip...

If you took Hybrid Summit* with us, then the information in this week's post may look familiar to you... if not, then get ready, because there are a lot of teaching ideas to unpack on this one!
​
* this material is definitely NOT limited to hybrid courses.

Today's post contains a little bit about a lot of things, including:
  • Elevator Pitches (which could be a handy idea for your end-of-semester projects)
  • Google Slides as an alternative way to give assignment instructions (the slideshow can be embedded within Canvas)
  • the ability to create interactive slides (as you'll see in the example)
  • using those interactive slides to create Choice Board* options for your students (it's a bit of a Choose Your Own Adventure assignment)
  • information resources for you about content creation tools for both infographics and videos.
 * being able to link to specific slides within your side deck also makes it a great option for Escape Rooms... but that's a post for another day!

In the context of Hybrid Summit, we asked our participants to create an "Elevator Pitch" to prospective students, selling those students who have not yet registered for classes on the benefits of taking their hybrid courses. Participants were allowed to choose the form of their pitch - either an infographic, or a very short video.

WHAT'S AN ELEVATOR PITCH?

Elevator Pitches: Showcasing Your Business [from Purdue University]
Elevator pitches got their name because they were originally associated with entrepreneurs who had the time it took for an elevator to go from the lobby to the executive suite (about 2 minutes) to convince a would-be investor of the value of his or her business or invention. The concept has evolved and is now used to fit a variety of important interactions.

Here is a Google Slide deck that provides the student with:
  • A quick review of the steps leading up to this assignment
  • The assignment
  • An interactive slide allowing the student to choose the format of his/her assignment
  • Further interactive resource slides with samples, tutorials, and pros/cons about each of the tools that the student can select.
Take some time to poke around the slides - at any time, you can click the elevator icon in the upper left corner to return to the initial "choice" slide.

Why did I share these slides with you?
Here's your "Tip-within-a-Tip":
Back in February, I shared "How Many Words is an Infographic Worth?"
In that post, I talked about the benefits of infographics, and I provided some resource links, but the interactive slides included in today's post have resources, pros/cons, and tutorials for:
  • 3 simple infographics creation tools
AND
  • 3 simple video creation tools
So check out the slide deck, click around, learn more about easy ways to create your own infographics and videos, and HAVE FUN dreaming up ways to put any/all of these strategies to use for your students!

DON'T FORGET - if you have other questions about Teaching, Learning, and/or Assessment, contact the CTLA! To submit a request for assistance: https://ctla.cgc.edu/help.html

HAPPY TUESDAY, EVERYONE!
