eLearning Training Pop-Up Shops

Ahh... I remember my first quarter teaching. Weeks before the term started, I spent peaceful afternoons drafting up my syllabus, developing assessments that engaged my students in real world application while connecting with their community, and creating custom instructional materials that truly centered my students in our course topics…

Wait, that was a dream.

Actually, I was hired the Friday before classes started on a Wednesday and I spent the first term in a frantic daze trying to stay a chapter ahead of my students.

We get it. Sometimes you only need today’s questions answered. In response to that very real need, eLearning is providing some training and consultant opportunities for those faculty who’d like some help prior to the start of Fall Quarter. In tandem with the 2021 eLearning Academy (which has shaped up to be fantastic), we hope we can meet your needs in getting ready for the term. Let us know if there’s anything else we can do.
