Quick Tip: Fall 2024 Online Teaching Workshops

In our last Quick Tip, we directed you to a helpful new resource for instructors as they consider course design and learning activities.  

We are happy to promote a series of workshops offered by the Kent State Online team to further support those looking to apply the concepts from the Design, Build, and Teach pathways.  

These workshops will focus on the online environment, but the principles and strategies can be applied to hybrid and in-person courses as well. 

Check out the workshop information and registration links below.
