Birds of a Feather is a series of lunch time meetings on Thursday, March 16, held in various rooms throughout Butler-Carlton Hall. Each Birds of a Feather meeting will cover different topics.
- BCH 120 – Clicker Faculty Learning Community
The Clicker Faculty Learning Community (FLC) is a group of instructors on campus who are heavily vested in using clickers to enhance their instruction. The Clicker FLC is an opportunity for instructors to share ideas on how to improve their students' academic performance while using clickers. All instructors are welcome to attend, even if you have never used clickers before. - BCH 101 – K-12 Teachers
Meet with and share ideas with other K-12 teachers from around the area. - BCH 124 – Canvas Users Group
Canvas users from Missouri S&T and other institutions can meet to discuss ideas on how to effectively use Canvas as a teaching and learning tool.
A "Lightning Round" is a brief demonstration of several free technologies that instructors can use to enhance their instruction. Each technology will be demonstrated by an EdTech student worker. Each student worker will only have 5 minutes to present their technology. If you are unable to attend the Lightning Round session on Thursday, March 16, an encore session will be available during lunch on Friday, March 17.
The Video Communications Center is an integral part of Global Learning and Distance Education at Missouri S&T. In 1985 the VCC began its operations by recording video tapes of courses for checkout in the library as well as pioneering some satellite broadcasts throughout the nation. By 1999 they were delivering lectures live to distance students worldwide and had secured their spot as a leader in the growing field of distance education. The VCC currently delivers hundreds of high quality, real-time, live courses each year and provides archived recordings for students to review throughout the semester. Visit Butler-Carlton 213, one of our 9 studio classrooms, to see how we accomplish this and to try out the technology for yourself!
