This Week for Faculty: Summer 2021 Institutes & Intensives
Hybrid & Online Teaching Institute
The Hybrid & Online Teaching Institute is an online offering that guides faculty through adapting their courses from face-to-face to online or hybrid formats.
This offering provides instructors a foundation that can serve across all formats of teaching with the capacity to adapt quickly to whatever mode of teaching makes the most sense at any given time. The institute provides faculty with a comprehensive toolkit they can apply to their own course context whether this may be a seminar, small lecture, or large lecture class.
