This workshop explores practical and purposeful uses of education technologies to support student learning, engagement, and course design. Rather than focusing on technology for its own sake, the session will examine how digital tools can help create clearer communication, stronger interaction, more engaging learning activities, and better support for students in both face-to-face and online contexts. Participants will explore examples using Blackboard Ultra and other commonly used teaching tools, including ways to integrate interactive H5P activities and Pressbooks resources into Ultra courses. The session will also discuss strategies for choosing technology intentionally and identifying small, meaningful changes that can make a big difference for students. Participants are encouraged to bring a course challenge, activity, or teaching idea they would like to rethink or enhance with technology.
This workshop is part of a series! Throughout the week, drop into any (or every if you feel ambitious) of our workshops this week. We look forward to seeing you there.
