As you prepare to design and teach your summer course online, we are here to help you. Join us for one of four week-long course design workshops. Each workshop consists of a series of presentations related to different aspects of online teaching and learning. These workshops focus on course development and implementation. For support for Blackboard tools, consider attending workshops offered by the Technology Resource Center. There will be three presentations every morning and three time slots in the afternoon for you to sign up to work with a staff member individually. Choose the presentations that interest you and attend as many as your schedule allows. The presentations will repeat over the four weeks, so you can repeat or attend a presentation at a later date.
Presenters
- Laura Baecher (Curriculum & Teaching)
- Sarah Byosiere (Psychology)
- Mowmita Jabir (Technology Resource Center)
- Shiao-Chuan Kung (Center for Online Learning)
- Scott Lipkowitz (Library)
- Gina Riley (Special Education)
- Abigail Torres (Center for Online Learning)
- Julie Van Peteghem (Romance Languages)
