Physical Educators Embrace Learning Management Systems for Course Activities

Tomorrow I will be presenting information about learning management systems to the best group of teachers around - physical educators! Session attendees will learn the basics of using a learning management system to
  • House courses
  • Engage students in social learning
  • Weave multimedia into class content
  • Assess performance and manage grades
  • Share resources
We will be using COURSEsites by Blackboard for training activities. 

The  session will begin with session attendees exploring a demo course that I have created in COURSEsites. Attendees should log into the course at https://www.coursesites.com/s/_LIFE

If an educational act is to be efficacious, it will be only that one which tends to help toward the complete unfolding of life. To be thus helpful it is necessary rigorously to avoid the arrest of spontaneous movements and the imposition of arbitrary tasks.

James 1:2-4 ESV 

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.


I humbly thank my wonderful family for their support in all that I do. Robert Robbie Cowan, Robert Drew Andrew Cowan, and Hunter Cowan Hartselle, Decatur, AL
