Create Video Lessons and Embedded Assignments with ScreenPal
Follow-along Workshop (90 minute)
Nitya Ramanan
ScreenPal (previously Screencast-O-Matic) is a simple yet powerful tool that has multiple uses including screen recorder, video editor, creating storyboards and scripts, capturing and annotating screenshots, and creating video quizzes. This tool would be beneficial to adult educators as they design lessons. ScreenPal’s embedded quizzes and polls allow curriculum and lesson designers to create video lessons with frequent knowledge checks, or short bytes of video lessons followed by a quiz.

Effective Asynchronous Instructional Design in Hybrid Courses
Demonstration (90 minute)
Kristi Reyes (w/ Erica Duran)
Post-pandemic, an increasing number of ESL and CTE courses are now taught in Hybrid format, with some instructional portions synchronous and another portion asynchronous online. Yet, many faculty understand asynchronous teaching as little more than providing time for students to log-into pre-developed curriculum programs. We will provide backward design practices and planning tools so teachers can execute high-quality hybrid adult education courses in ESL and CTE.
