Flexible Learning EXperiences (FLEX) Project

At Renton Technical College (RTC), FLEX is an acronym for Flexible Learning Experiences. FLEX courses are designed with an active learning instructional model and are supported by familiar technologies such as Canvas and Zoom. The FLEX modality empowers students to move toward success no matter what life events come their way and it promotes flexibility in learning on multiple levels leading students toward a more personalized learning experience. Join Yun to learn more about RTC’s student choice modality that allows students to decide on any given day whether to attend class in-person, virtually, or asynchronously – with little or no difference in their learning.

WACCy Wednesdays continue!  In lieu of the annual in-person Washington Canvas Conference (WACC), the eLearning Council (ELC) is pleased to offer a second season of free WACCy Wednesday Webinars. Join us for the third webinar in the series featuring the ELC 2021-22 Connie Broughton Innovation in eLearning Award winner, Stephanie Bartlett from Shoreline Community College.

  • Wednesday, March 9th
  • Noon – 1:00 PM

Designing for Academic Integrity: From Honorlock to Honor Code

“Designing for Academic Integrity: From Honorlock to Honor Code” represents a framework for transparently modeling values of academic honor and integrity in online courses. Honor Codes have existed for decades, and the concept of creating a climate of trust is a goal in most classes.  Join Stephanie to learn how her approach to Designing for Academic Integrity blends universal ideas of trust, honesty, and transparency into a grounded pedagogical framework and how her integrated approach draws students into the creation of the classroom culture as they learn about academic integrity while developing a personal honor code that is used to establish classroom norms.

WACCy Wednesday Webinar – Game Over: Why your attempts to gamify your course don’t work (and how to fix it)

WACCy Wednesdays continue!  In lieu of the annual in-person Washington Canvas Conference (WACC), the eLearning Council (ELC) is pleased to offer a second season of free WACCy Wednesday Webinars. Please join us for the second webinar in this series.

  • Wednesday, February 23rd
  • Noon – 1:00 PM

Game Over: Why your attempts to gamify your course don’t work (and how to fix it)

How can you, as an educator, consistently balance an intellectually rigorous course that produces exceptional learning, promotes equity in your classroom, and engages students? Gamification could be the answer, but attempts to gamify learning frequently end in poor, inequitable returns, or even outright failure. Why? Game designer Jeremy Winn breaks down the reasons why an incomplete understanding of the principles of gamification results in hours of wasted effort and why successful gamification is simpler than you think.  Jeremy will walk you through the creation of your very own gamified assessment. Bring a learning goal to work with!
