About Big Hunger:

In “Big Hunger,” Andy Fisher takes a critical look at the business of hunger and offers a new vision for the anti-hunger movement. From one perspective, anti-hunger leaders have been extraordinarily effective. Food charity is embedded in American civil society, and federal food programs have remained intact while other anti-poverty programs have been eliminated or slashed. But anti-hunger advocates – reliant on corporations for donations of food and money – are leaving out an essential element of the problem: economic inequality driven by the low wages that corporations pay.

Please join the CTL Instructional Design team to learn how our Learning Management System (LMS), CoursePlus, can be used to help foster a positive experience for you and your students. This workshop aims to engage faculty in discussion, reflection and vision for utilizing the full potential of CoursePlus. We will discuss possibilities that range from administrative efficiency, to new methods of learning engagement, to unique reporting insights identifying student progress and interaction, and more. With technology development, extensive use of digital materials, and the need for mobile technology, these strategies are increasingly important for all class formats, including traditional face-to-face, blended, and online environments.

NO REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY! We encourage on-site attendance, but this workshop will also be streamed via Adobe Connect at http://connect.johnshopkins.edu/ctl-toolkit-workshop. A recording will be posted to our Toolkit Events pageat a later date.
