In this episode of the Learning Conversations podcast, I sat down and chatted with Brie Elking. Brie teaches Biology at the Davie campus and some of the topics we talked about included alternative approaches to assessing students and using games such as Kahoot to promote student engagement. Enjoy!
Christina Kirwan's Experience with Moodle Attendance
By Gretchen Benton
Moodle has a tool you can use to track and grade (optional) attendance. This is a great tool to use if you are looking for any of the following options: (1) an easy-to-use digital attendance tracker; (2) a copy of your attendance records saved in a central location alongside student submissions and content in Moodle; or (3) you want to associate a grade with class attendance.
Please Note: Using the Attendance tool in Moodle does not replace the need to report attendance in StormTrac! Attendance should still be recorded by the census date and grades should still be reported at the end of the course by visiting the Faculty tab in StormTrac. Learn how to report attendance and grades in StormTrac!

Equitizing the Syllabus - Part II has been rescheduled for March 3rd from 10AM - 12PM. All previous registrations are active, and the event is also open to new registration.
