Faculty Training Sessions

The Center for Instructional Technology regularly provides our faculty with training sessions and webinars which are designed to bring faculty together to participate in discussions about pedagogy, mobile technologies, engaging students, sharing tools and resources, collaboration techniques, Web 2.0, 21st Century Education, etc. 

Training and support sessions take place in the Teaching and Learning Center in the Brown-Kopel Business Center. Webinars take place via WebEx which allows faculty to participate from anywhere there is an Internet connection. For those that cannot participate in live, webinar sessions, an archived session is made available.
