Description:
The University of Puget Sound Educational Technologists are hosting a seven week faculty workshop to explore strategies, techniques, and resources for teaching fully online or hybrid classes.
The learning environment will be “flipped,” using Canvas for posting videos, sharing resources, and using discussion boards for faculty to ask questions and collaborate.
All faculty will be added to our Canvas course and will be invited to participate in a weekly virtual discussion. We will also have virtual office hours. In addition to covering best practices in remote course delivery we will include training modules in Google apps, video production, conferencing, and assessment.
