OTAN Office Hours provide an opportunity to ask more detailed questions and get support on specific tools to use with students. You can sign up for these OTAN Office Hours at the California Adult Education Training Calendar:

Tuesday, July 28 from 4:00 to 5:00pm
Thursday, July 30 from 10:00 to 11:00am

On Wednesday at 10:00am, Blair Roy and Susan Coulter will host Office Hours for Maximizing Moodle. The many features and resources available in Moodle can be daunting to new users. Join us to get one-on-one support, help, suggestions, and just plain old encouragement in using Moodle with learners. Attending teachers will drive the session with their questions and needs. You can sign up for these Office Hours at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.
On Wednesday at 1:00pm, Anthony Burik will present Tech Tools for Assessment. In this three-part series (today is Session 3), we look at tech tools that integrate assessment into online classes. We will learn about and practice with assessment tools in different contexts that reach learners on all types of devices, including questionnaires, tools that can be used to present and assess simultaneously, and tools used for formative and summative assessment. We will also discuss question formation and data collection. You can sign up for this webinar at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.
On Friday at 1:00pm, Anthony Burik will present Tech Tools for Assessment. This will be a feedback session open to participants sharing their assessments and getting assistance with specific questions on the assessment tools we have covered in the three-part series. This session will be participant driven and your creations and input are welcomed! You can sign up for this webinar at the California Adult Education Training Calendar.
