Ed-Tech Mailing List,
Here are some interesting webinars on the SoftChalk LessonBuilder system. LessonBuilder is a software program that allows you to create very professional looking materials for student learning on the web. We have a site license so that all faculty can download and use the software by going to www.miami.edu/software. These webinars might provide ideas for how you might generate learning materials using this powerful piece of software.
Archived copies of their webinars are available at http://www.softchalk.com/lb_WebinarRegistration.html and short videos showing how to use specific functions of LessonBuilder can be found on the http://www.softchalk.com/lb_demo3.html Web page.

Language Instruction and eLearning from Grammar to German to SCORM integration Virginia Commonwealth University, Humanities and Sciences | Wednesday, May 9
11am PT | 12pm MT | 1pm CT | 2pm ET | 
| In this one-hour session, Dr. Godwin-Jones, Professor of Foreign Languages at Virginia Commonwealth University, will discuss and illustrate language instruction, with examples of lessons for teaching grammar, for working on reading comprehension, and for teaching culture. He will show sample lessons, created with LessonBuilder, from elementary to the advanced level, including how LessonBuilder created lessons are being used in distant-learning courses in intermediate-level German instruction. This will also involve the integration of the lessons into a learning management system, using Blackboard as an example, and how lessons saved as SCORM modules offer benefits over content imported as normal zip archives.
Reusable Learning Object Initiative - Creating a Systemwide Repository GateWay Community College, The Maricopa Community College System | Wednesday, June 13
11am PT | 12pm MT | 1pm CT | 2pm ET |
| In this one-hour session, Lisa Young, the e-Learning Coordinator at GateWay Community College will describe the Maricopa system-wide Reusable Learning Objects (RLO) initiative and LessonBuilder?s role in its success. The Maricopa Community Colleges has a two year initiative on reusable learning objects in which they first built awareness of RLOs, then helped faculty learn skills on where and how to find RLOs for their use and finally they taught them how to create their own RLOs and share them in Maricopa's repository, called the MLX (Maricopa Learning eXchange). Maricopa adopted the use of SoftChalk LessonBuilder for development of RLOs. Learn how this initiative went and how faculty responded.
