Course Transformation

During the morning session, learn how to transform your course for blended delivery-leaving more time during your lecture periods to discuss and seminar content your students are engaging with online. The afternoon session will focus on extending these techniques to a fully online delivery mode while still maintaining communication, collaboration and relationship-building with your students. A great option for your next summer course.
