Workshops

In our ongoing effort to improve professional development, Electronic Learning uses a micro-credentialing system in which badges are issued for attending live workshops through Electronic Learning as well as completion of assignments associated with some workshops.

To earn a badge for professional development, attend a professional development workshop offered through Electronic Learning. Some workshops will require the completion of an assignment before the badge is awarded. For example, after a faculty member attends the Rubrics Workshop, they will be enrolled in the Electronic Learning Professional Development Moodle course to submit a rubric for evaluation. After the rubric passes evaluation, the badge for the Rubrics Workshop will be awarded. Assignments can be completed within two weeks of the live workshop. The badge will then be sent to the faculty’s NSU email address. To accept the badge, click through the email and create an account on the platform. The badge will be added to your library and can be shared to multiple social sites and portfolios. Learn more by reading this resource on Sharing Your Badges from Badgr.

Below is a list of workshops that Electronic Learning is currently offering. Click on the workshop badge icon to see what is covered in each session. Various workshops are offered each month, and current schedules can be found on the Upcoming Sessions page or in Messenger every Monday. If you are interested in a workshop and it is not on the schedule, contact us and we will work to schedule it soon!

The Master Course Creator is a series of workshops that introduces key aspects of creating high quality online courses. These workshops require completion of an assignment before the badge is issued. They are presented individually, but to earn the Master Course Creator Badge participate in all the workshops listed in the series within a three-year span and complete the design of a quality online course.
