Mark your calendars now for DELTA Workshops happening in August!

Speed Geeking with Instructional Technology Tools

Aug. 11 | 12-3:45 p.m. | DELTA’s Main Office at Center for Technology and Innovation on Centennial Campus

Join us in-person for a high-energy, lunch-and-learn speed geeking session where you can explore instructional technology tools through rapid-fire demos and then join a hands-on workshop to learn more. This interactive event features eight timed, 5-minute rounds showcasing: Digital Whiteboarding, Gradescope, Padlet, Perusall, VoiceThread, WeVideo (formerly known as PlayPosit), WooClap, and Yellowdig. Following the demos and lunch, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in deep-dive workshops for a more thorough exploration of these tools. Whether you’re a tech expert or a beginner, you’ll walk away with practical strategies to enhance student engagement in your courses.

Speed geeking with lunch will take place from 12-1:30 p.m., and from 1:30-3:45 p.m., participants will choose two different tools and join a hands-on workshop.

Ready to Roll: The Moodle Course Tune Up with a Canvas Twist

Aug. 5 | 12:30-1:30 p.m. | Zoom

Aug. 13 | 9:30-10:30 a.m. | Zoom

Ensure your Moodle course is ready to hit the ground running and start thinking about tasks to get it prepared for Canvas! This hands-on workshop will guide you through a quick but thorough check-up of your course to make sure all elements are ready to roll. We’ll help you verify key settings such as due dates, content visibility, hyperlink functionality, and accessibility to enhance your students’ experience from the start. We will also preview Canvas and share some of the differences between Canvas and Moodle that might help you tweak your Moodle courses. No heavy lifting — just practical, efficient tweaks to ensure a smooth semester.

Build Better Instructional Videos: From Recording to Interactive Learning

Aug. 6 | 9:30-11:30 a.m. | Zoom

Record, edit, enhance and share instructional videos in this one workshop! Participants will learn to use Panopto to record and perform basic edits, e.g., trimming on their instructional videos. The session will then explore how to add interactivity using Panopto’s built-in features like quizzes and how to go further with WeVideo (formerly known as PlayPosit) to add interactive layers, including reflective pauses, polling, multiple choice questions, discussion, and more. Finally, we will cover how to integrate these videos into Moodle and monitor student progress. Note: Panopto and WeVideo will also work in Canvas.

The Augmented Instructor: Building AI Fluency for Teaching

Aug. 4 | 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. | Location coming soon

This 3.5-hour in-person workshop helps instructors build practical, human-centered AI fluency for teaching. Participants will learn how to use generative AI tools to support course design, content creation, and assessment — while preserving essential human skills such as critical thinking, communication, and disciplinary judgment. Through hands-on activities, instructors will evaluate AI outputs, refine prompts, and audit their assignments to decide what to keep, shift, or redesign. Participants leave with practical strategies, reusable prompts, and concrete ideas for balancing AI use with meaningful student learning.
