Attention new faculty. This one’s for you!
Instructor Console Training
Take Full Advantage of Instructional Technologies in Your Classroom! Nearly all of our campus classrooms are equipped with smart technology and the challenge becomes using the tools to engage our students. The key to harnessing all of these bells and whistles lies in your command of the instructor console. If you’re new to the campus or if you’d just like a refresher/overview of the equipment and how technology can be used to enhance teaching and learning, please consider joining us for this informative workshop. If you aren’t able to make it in one of these times, please contact the CET to arrange one-on-one training.
Upcoming Sessions: Thursday, Sept. 6, 9 – 10 a.m. OR Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2 – 3 p.m.
