·        You can use Microsoft Excel to create an electronic grade book.  This workshop will cover some basics of Excel, and is open to any BCC employee, but the primary concentration will be on the features that will help faculty members create a grade book.

·        IPM stands for Interactive Presentation Manager, our electronic whiteboards.  An electronic whiteboard combines the functionality of a traditional whiteboard with the power of a PC and projector combo like a BCC Smart Kart.  Using this combination of equipment allows you to interact with and annotate a variety of computer applications while retaining the student's focus.

·        IPSI software is designed to enhance planning, delivering, evaluating and analyzing instruction.  The Syllabus Wizard assists in the design of a syllabus by providing set categories of information that should appear on every syllabus, providing "boilerplate" text for standard items and more importantly, assists in organizing and creating Content Goals, which are supported by Performance Objectives.

·        ParScore is a network based grade book program that is designed to work automatically with the Scantron scanners in the Test Center. It can also be used for manual grade entry and to track attendance. This package is available on-campus only and has been recently upgraded to support greater functionality.

·        This session will demonstrate the use of LCD projection (“Smart Kart”) with Microsoft PowerPoint to make presentations. Additionally, it will be a hands-on workshop on using basic features of PowerPoint. There will be some time for you to progress at your own pace in a lab environment, so bring some ideas for a computer presentation.

·        GroupWise WebAccess is the web-based interface into BCC's e-mail system.  It can be used to send and receive email with your "@bcc.edu" e-mail account from any computer on the Internet using a standard web browser.  This system is available to all employees.

·        WebAdvisor for Faculty is the web-based interface into BCC's Student Information System and is used for electronic grade submission.  It also allows faculty to check their rosters and class schedules from any computer on the Internet using a standard web browser.

·        BCC's WebBoard system is an asynchronous threaded discussion server. This web based discussion system allows a faculty member to extend the classroom outside the walls of the College and facilitate discussions that lead to dynamic and engaging many-to-many interactive learning activities. This session looks at WebBoard basics.

·        Website Development workshops will assist faculty members who have no web design experience to create a basic website, which can later be uploaded to BCC's web server.  Workshops will be hands-on, so come prepared with electronic copies (on disk) of documents you wish to include in the website, such as syllabi, handouts, presentations, etc.  Bringing a blank disk is also recommended.
