Who Should Attend
Any instructor teaching Live Online (Zoom), or intending to do so. The program is relevant for faculty in higher education teaching courses that are information and cognitive based. While the program may be useful for those teaching hands-on kinesthetic skills (e.g. welding, driver’s ed, pottery, etc.) the program does not address hands-on instruction topics and issues.
