eLearning - Step 5: Tech Check
Description
Technology plays an important role for students in their course, regardless of method of delivery, from Blackboard to tech tools. How do we design courses to ensure that the student has a smooth technology experience and that they can access what’s needed to be successful in our courses? In this final session, we will talk through some building blocks to include for students in your course, considerations in your course design, and strategies for instructor and student success using technology in instruction.
