Session Description:

The Nursing faculty wanted to share with the campus community best practices and lessons learned in utilizing advanced technology. The advanced technology provided to the faculty in Rm. 106 Building 20 can open opportunities to enhance student learning and close gaps that may exist due to the pandemic. Lessons learned, obstacles faced and best practices with this technology can extend to any discipline. Discussion among the campus community will offer a chance for faculty to share suggestions and broaden our learning.
