SUMMARY:Coffee Break: Using Storyboard to Project Instructor Presence Through Lecture
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I will demonstrate how to design and create storyboards for video lectures. I will also showcase the storyboards that I created for my first ever hybrid class as well as those in progress for a new hybrid class. \n  \nRegister for this eventPresented By:Dr. Becky Huang Assistant Professor for Bicultural-Bilingual StudiesAs a technology lover (and sci-fi fan)\, I have always had a strong interest in teaching hybrid/online courses. I attended the UTSA hybrid academy and taught my first hybrid class in Summer 2016\, both of which I enjoyed. I am teaching a hybrid class again this semester (Spring 2017) and am also working on converting another face-to-face class into a hybrid for Fall 2017.

SUMMARY:Smart City Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Abstract:\nBuildings in cities consume 30-70% of the total primary energy. There are opportunities to reduce city building energy use by 30 to 50% using currently available technologies. This talk presents several research projects on smart cities funded by US Department of Energy\, including the exascale computing project multiscale coupled urban systems. The talk will cover recently developed data\, tools\, and case studies to support cities’ building energy efficiency programs. Challenges of data integration\, modeling and simulation of buildings at the city scale will be discussed. \nDr. TianzhenDr. Tianzhen Hong is a Staff Scientist and Deputy Head of Building Technology Department of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). He is co-leading the urban systems initiative at LBNL\, an operating agent of IEA EBC Annex 66 on occupant behavior in buildings\, and an editor of Energy and Buildings.
