My name is CHEN Xijinyan, an MCLC list member. I would like to share some tools/platforms that I am planning to use for my Chinese-English interpreting class and Multimedia Translation class in the fall, and that can also be used in a modern Chinese literature/culture class setting.
1) For quizzes: Nearpod, Kahoot
2) For discussions and reading assignment:
– Zoom’s Breakout Room function (for synchronous sessions);
– VoiceThread (for interactive lectures)
– Google Doc;
– discussion boards on LMS (Blackboard, Canvas, etc);
– Hypothesis (for annotating readings);
– discussion boards on LMS (Blackboard, Canvas, etc);
– Hypothesis (for annotating readings);
3) For other in-class activities: Google Jamboard (e.g.: I use it to demonstrate note-taking skills)
I am also happy to provide more info/resources if needed.
Best regards,
