Digital Teaching & Learning Passport
There are many available technologies that can facilitate student learning in online courses. Some of these technologies will be used in every course, others will be used only in some courses. You may already be familiar with some of these technologies, others you may have never used. In order to help you encounter and engage some of the available technologies, we have created a Digital Teaching & Learning Passport. Go through the following list of activities and make sure that you are able to do all of the tasks listed. Many of these tasks we will be addressing in the sessions during the development week. If you have questions or would like assistance in any of these areas, please ask any of the instructional design staff or one of your colleagues attending the week.
