Online Teaching and Learning Strategies
- Location: Online
- Contact: CITS Instructional Development
- Description: In this course, we will introduce you to current research and best practices for online teaching as well as showcase examples of successful teaching strategies for the online environment.
Throughout the course you will work both independently and collaboratively with your peers to gain valuable online course transition experience and develop your own strategies for online teaching and learning. As a participant, you will learn both pedagogical aspects of teaching online as well as how to use and incorporate many of the tools available in the myCourses Learning Management System used at UMassD.
The ultimate goal of the course is to have you begin planning, organizing, and building the online course you eventually plan to teach. In addition, this course will introduce you to techniques that will teach you how to self-assess course site design to ensure student ease of access to course content and to facilitate more streamlined student learning and increase retention.

ECE Seminar* Speaker: Dr. Lora Van Uffelen, Department of Ocean Engineering, University of Rhode Island
- Location: Science & Engineering Building, Lester W. Cory Conference Room: Room 213A
- Cost: Free
- Contact: ECE: Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
- Description: Topic: Seagliders Sensing Subsea Sound
Speaker: Dr. Lora Van Uffelen, Department of Ocean Engineering, University of Rhode Island
Location: Science & Engineering Building (SENG), Room 117
Abstract:
Seagliders are Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) designed to be deployed for several months at a time. They are capable of diving to 1000 m depth and communicate with an onshore base station computer via Iridium satellite when at the surface between dives. These platforms can accommodate a variety of oceanographic sensors, but here we specifically consider Seagliders equipped with hydrophones to record underwater sound. Acoustic data collected using these platforms are used for long-range underwater acoustic propagation research, for studies of marine mammal vocalizations, and for glider navigation, including under-ice navigation. The technology and applications of acoustic Seagliders will be discussed, and preliminary results from a recent deployment in the Arctic Ocean will be presented.
Biography:
Dr. Lora Van Uffelen is a new Assistant Professor in the Department of Ocean Engineering at the University of Rhode Island. Prior to moving to the East Coast she was a research affiliate at the University of Hawaii. She earned her Ph.D. in Oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego, and has a B.S. in Engineering. Her primary research interests are underwater acoustics, oceanic variability, and oceanographic instrumentation and technology. She particularly enjoys fieldwork and has participated in more than 20 research cruises with over 400 days at sea.
The Seminars is open to the public free of charge.
*For further information, please contact Dr. John Buck at 508.999.9237, or by via email at jbuck@umassd.edu.
