Whether you're interested in learning more about our supported instructional technology, such as Moodle and our EduTools, or enhancing course content delivery and student engagement online, we have offerings to support your instructional goals.

Weekly: 10-Minute Tech Talks highlight tools and technology you can integrate in your online and face-to-face courses. Join us in the Innovative Teaching and Learning Community on Microsoft Teams throughout the semester.

- Tech Tool Expo: Our team offers ongoing live demonstrations on campus of new technology and use cases in course design for faculty to explore.
Spring Semester:
- Innovative Teaching & Learning Week: During this webinar series, faculty from across campus present how they’re applying innovative pedagogy, course design, and technology in their courses to improve student experience and success.
