March Faculty Showcase on Connecting with Online Students

Dr. Kathryn Lee (Curriculum & Instruction) was the featured speaker at the March 23, 2012 Faculty Showcase. She shared strategies she uses to to create connections with her online students and to promote interactivity between students.

ITS Faculty Showcases are one-hour events that provide an opportunity for faculty to network and to learn about teaching methods and strategies from other faculty.

 

ETC Support now offers Open Labs

New for faculty are Tracs and Gato Open Lab hours. Stop by the lab and ask any questions you may have. These are not full-length workshops and are operated on a come-an-go basis. Registration is required.
