| Blackboard for Residential Courses | |
| Did you know every course has access to the Blackboard course management system? With Blackboard you can share files, conduct quizzes or surveys, implement an online gradebook and much more. It's better than the MetroConnect course tools because you can copy all resources to multiple sections and from one semester to the next. This 50 minute workshop will get you started using Blackboard for your residential courses. | |

| Teaching Hybrid Courses | |
| Many new hybrid courses have been initiated in recent semesters and we anticipate the growth will continue. Hybrid courses combine residential and online teaching methods to implement the best practices from both. For example, many Hybrid courses meet in class one day each week and then conduct online learning activities for the other day. This 50 minute workshop presents options and best practices for Hybrid courses. | |
