Workshops on E-learning Technologies

Regular CTLE workshops are held for UM faculty and graduate students. At workshops faculty, CTLE staff and ICTO colleagues demonstrate how to use Moodle, online quizzes, interactive learning spaces, video recording tools and other e-learning tools to save time and resources and be more efficient and effective in teaching your course. View the schedule and register for upcoming workshops.

In addition, CTLE provides personal assistance and learning communities to staff at the University of Macau (UM) who would like support in using technology in their classrooms. CTLE’s e-learning specialist, Chris Fulton, is available to provide training for your faculty for groups of 4 or more.

E-Learning Consultations

CTLE staff offer consultations on how to make use of e-learning technologies for teaching at UM. In consultations, our staff can provide examples of how small changes to teaching with the technologies that are supported at UM, e.g. UMMoodle and mobile devices, can be easily incorporated into instructional practices to increase student learning gains and provide students with meaningful feedback. The topics below list a few topics on how online quizzes, polls, surveys, discussion forums and video conferencing technology can be used in and after class to increase student learning and student engagement.
