Keynote Slides Index

Overall Plan. This presentation has two parts: I'll start by introducing myself and sharing with you the spaces where you can find me online (slides 1-5). Then, I'll share with you some general ideas and strategies that have worked well for me as an online instructor. Some of the advice is specifically about teaching online, and some of it is about teaching in general, or even about life in general. As I'm a folklorist by training, you'll see many traditional proverbs on these pages: online learning is something new, but popular wisdom still applies!

Slide Pages. Each slide page has a few chosen words and a graphic of some kind, just as you would expect, but there is also additional information below the slide if you scroll on down. Since I don't know just how much or little overlap there might be between your online courses and my own, I've tried to take a general approach in the top slide, but with lots of links to specific course materials and online resources down below. You'll also find more information about the graphics at the bottom of each page.

Ask Questions, Please! You can ask questions via the Adobe chat if there are items you'd like me to go over in more detail, or you can use Twitter: #UOConference. In addition, you can contact me after the talk with any questions you have (Twitter, G+, or email: laurakgibbs@gmail.com).

About the Blog. I've also explained here how and why I hacked a blog to be like a slideshow (it's an experiment I've always wanted to try). After the presentation is over, I'll move the widgets at the bottom of the pages to go in a sidebar, and the blog will look much more like a blog!
