Enhancing Student Learning Through Learning Management Systems: An Interactive Workshop

Join us for an interactive workshop exploring the potential of Learning Management Systems (LMS) to enhance student engagement and learning. Led by Kristine Anthis, this session will demonstrate how LMSs can facilitate assignments, provide immediate feedback, assess learning, and improve classroom experiences. Participants will engage in hands-on activities, experiencing LMS assignments as students while learning to create their own as instructors. Gain insights into various available systems, including CengageNow, MyCompLab, and more.

  1. SCSU Faculty Development Workshop:What Learning Management Systems Can Do for Your Students (& You): An Interactive Case Study24 September 2008Kristine Anthisanthisk1@southernct.edu

  2. Learning Management Systems? • What are they? • Learning Management Systems (LMSs) are websites created by textbook publishers to correspond to the books they publish. • What can they do? • After registering, students can • complete assignments that are website-graded • read the e-text in .pdf format • LMSs are more than online quizzes (e.g., Instructors can limit the # of attempts, impose time limits, specify deadlines, etc.) • Assignments can be saved in the course account for the instructor to access at his or her convenience.

  3. Why LMSs? • LMSs have the potential to: • Assess student learning • Enhance brick and mortar classroom teaching • Quite possibly improve student learning • e.g., provide immediate out-of-class consequences for not reading, reduce procrastination, improve test-taking skills

  4. Goals for Today’s Workshop • Participants will learn to: • take a LMS assignment as a Student • create an LMS assignment as an Instructor

  5. LMS Options • Which systems are available? • They include Cengage’s CengageNow, Pearson’s eLearning & Assessment Solutions (e.g., MyCompLab.com, MyMathLab.com, MyDevelopmentLab.com, etc.), and McGrawHill’s Aris. • CengageNow = the one with which I have experience. • After considering the LMSs available a few years ago, I chose CengageNow because at that time, it was the only LMS that had ‘pre-test, ISP, post-test’ capability.

  6. CengageNow as a Student

  7. Access Codes? Course Keys? • Access Codes = with CengageNow textbooks • Sample Access Codes available today PPHJPFMP3MLCCG PP8LRXWP3J6BRB PPMJ76GP3HCSJT PPS1NTTP3XN51H PP8QCK3P3292L2 PPH6F1KP3KVM3F PP92DB1P3JND7Q PP8VXC1P3WWQQX PPN8FDWP3427V7 PPJRN51P34T594 • Course Key =Number generated by CengageNow • When & How?
