If you cannot make it to the Lee Campus for workshops, please contact ehochmeister@edison.edu to explore the possibility of an online workshop via GoToMeeting.

Two highlights of this schedule:

Study Mate Class Server: StudyMate Class Server allows teachers and students create study materials in a collaborative, web-based environment, all Integrated within CE6 - NO MORE PUBLISHING!
  • Students learn at each step of the process: creating, editing and reviewing items (no more blind memorization of course materials)
  • Instructors can select student-generated questions for use on tests, resulting in "fresh" questions each term
  • "Social learning" fosters peer accountability and makes the course more engaging
  • Student participation can easily be tracked and graded, providing an additional way to assess student knowledge

Edison Online: Open CE6/Training Schedule - by Appointment Only: Open Faculty Training Time. Individual consultations can be scheduled during the allotted hours for CE6 or any other eLearning software. Participants must pre-register online. Registered faculty will receive an e-mail with possible times, topics, and meeting locations.
