Thinking about ways to incorporate technology into your lectures, labs, or discussion sections? There are a lot of ideas and resources out there to try:

• Get help from UCR instructional designers
• Try out Poll Everywhere to promote student engagement
• Incorporate quiz questions directly into lecture videos with YuJa
• Request a Catchbox throwable microphone from Media Services for large interactive discussions
• Try adapting Kahoot! learning games to your classes
  • Free license available only and tech support will not be available from XCITE. Consider using PollEverywhere instead for full LMS integration and for XCITE support.
• Use Calendly for booking appointments with students
• Benchling is a free service that allows students to create online, cloud-based lab workbooks
• Create collaborative online spaces with Piazza
• The Merlot System provides access to curated online learning materials and content
