College of Education and Human Ecology
Overview
Shifting a course online can be daunting. How do you create a sense of belonging in a digital space? How might you translate your favorite in-person activity into an online activity? And how do you use CarmenCanvas, the Internet, and digital tools to bring your course to life?
Join the College of Education and Human Ecology's Distance Education and Learning Design (DELD) team for our course design institute. A supportive, hands-on learning experience, the institute focuses on design, pedagogy and facilitating learning online. Participants learn in a small group setting and receive individual assistance reimagining their in-person course into a vibrant online learning experience.
