Learning Lab Week

The Center for Teaching and Learning is excited to provide faculty and staff the opportunity to participate in a Learning Lab week each fall!  While we offer these workshops throughout the year, we understand that some may wish to learn more about using D2L, using other tools, or planning classroom assignments and activities before the fall semester begins.

All workshops are delivered in person (UCE 116) and via Zoom simultaneously.  Faculty and staff attended any number of sessions depending on their needs.  Each session is scheduled for 2 hours to provide participants with some time to work on building and updating courses or documents during the workshop.

Sign-up for as many or few Learning Lab sessions as you like! We will send calendar invites to match your sign-ups.
