Penn State Teaching and Learning with Technology is hosting a series focused on engaging students in synchronous and asynchronous online environments through course revisions.
These sessions will introduce synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning considerations, promote the alignment of technology tools with learning outcomes, and allow for revisions together with support from consultants and colleagues.
