Georgia College has a site license for SoftChalk - software that make is easy to create professional looking online lessons. I learned how to use it beginning in August and used it to design all of my fall courses. I knew from MERLOT meetings, that MERLOT had a partnership with SoftChalk. As an example, you can search media resources from within SoftChalk and embed it in the lessons. Examples include Flickr, MERLOT, YouTube, etc.
I participated in a fast paced Webinar taught by Sue Evans from SoftChalk last week. What I learned is how to create a lesson using SoftChalk, contribute it to Connect (a database of shared learning resources), and then add the link to the lesson to MERLOT.
If your agency does not have a license for SoftChalk, you can try it out for 30-days. (And no, I have no financial interest in the software company :).
This blog serves two main purposes. It includes tips on learning using technology, especially as it supports the 5th edition of the textbook, Informatics & Nursing: Opportunities and Challenges, that I authored. The blog also includes tips about informatics strategies that add to the scholarship of nursing and teaching/learning excellence.
