Summer Institute feedback 2021

  • eLearning is great and you rock! The depth of resources included in the modules was so appreciated. I can learn more, read more, adapt more, and know that you are there to support me if I screw up. Thank you for another terrific Summer Institute. I hope we’ll be able to have it in person next year!
  • The summer institute was one of the most useful experiences I have participated in. I learned a lot from simply watching the moderators navigate their Canvas courses and discuss their knowledge of tools. I wish we had spent a bit more time taking a look at full courses because that gave me several ideas as to how better design and organize my own courses. It would also be great to have Canvas hacks or a settings overview. For instance, I didn’t know that you could have the letter grade show up in the grade book, but I googled it once I saw it through the institute.
  • The Summer Institute was extremely helpful to me.  I’m excited to start exploring Cidi Labs, Edpuzzle, Padlet, and make better videos for my students.  I have already made some changes to my homepage, getting started module, and syllabus.  Thank you for all the great resources!  I’ll definitely participate in future workshops.
  • This is the best Summer institute I have been to. Thank you.
  • Thanks, you all are awesome!
  • I’m new so this training was extremely effective. I really liked the modules because if it didn’t apply, I didn’t need to do it. I could focus on the things I was interested in.
  • It’s always just so hard to choose a workshop during the synchronous sessions.  There are so many good ones.  I love the fact that the asynchronous modules covered the same topics so that we don’t feel like we missed out!
  • Thank you for your hard work. It is a great summer institute!
  • I’ve already made changes to my courses based on what I learned. I also like that we had options of learning to choose from based on interest and need. Thank you so much!
  • Continue with more EdTech and presenters from different departments/fields.  I like the mix of Canvas how-to’s and CidiLabs introductions too. 
  • I really enjoyed learning about this new found knowledge by participating at eLearning Summer Institute.  I was able to complete the assignments by reading the Canvas course modules and listening to the videos.  The instructors conveyed the information in a fun and relax manner by using technology. Teaching classes using computer can get cumbersome at times due to technical difficulties, however the faculty and instructors at eLearning did an awesome job presenting the material without a hitch.  Great Job eLearning crew.
  • Appreciate all the time that went in to putting this together. It was a fantastic PD opportunity. Thank you!
  • I have made changes in my courses already, and am still making changes based on the information and resources provided.
  • I would love to see an extension of Flipgrid, Getting Started Module, Nearpod, and Padlet in a 2 hour workshop during fall quarter. The presenters and the information were great!
  • The afternoon hands-on CidiLabs workshops were full of great info, but it was difficult to remember what I learned and then apply it. The facilitators did a great job, so I really don’t have advice for how to improve. This is the kind of content that is just tricky to teach online.
  • I enjoyed attending the remote workshops and completing the 3 self-paced modules. Overall, I have taken a number of workshops on course design over the past few years. I enjoyed learning more about tools as Kami, Padlet and how colleagues are using these tools in the classroom. I appreciate everyone’s help and the opportunity to participate in the Summer Institute.  
  • It is great to show the EdTech tools to faculty. In order to use these tools we need to have ongoing technical and financial support.
  • Thanks for giving such informative summer institute learning working and training modules. It is always to learn new things from you, and look forward to applying it in the future class. Thanks for your team efforts, and great appreciated!
  • Thank you. All the modules are very informative. I am sure I will visit many modules multiple times.
  • I would have liked more beginner sessions on Cidi labs and more hands-on practice with it.
  • Thank you so much to the eLearning team for supporting us especially during these challenging times!
  • I would like the breakdown workshop in the afternoon would be longer than 1 hour.
  • The content was very rich! I needed more time to work on the content during the workshop.
