Training On Demand (TOD) - Continuity of Instruction
A self-enrolled Canvas site has been created to house online learning materials for faculty who are unable to attend the hybrid training opportunities listed in the Small Group Workshops section. The purpose of this instructional tool is to address the challenges of continuing instruction without being able to meet with students face-to-face. Faculty will have access to the materials included at all times so that they can learn on the go.
