Description

There are over 130 learning spaces on campus that have technology available for hybrid or remote pedagogy. Learn how to make the most of those spaces and practices. This session is facilitated by Shelley Rose and Chris Rennison who have experience delivering multiple modes or formats for a course, lesson, or assignment. Participants will explore creative teaching strategies based on universal design that apply to hybrid and remote teaching at the graduate level. We will poll participants to plan a follow-up session on specific tools and equipment that will help instructors meet graduate students where they are and foster student success.
