Session Description:

As more and more universities invest in moving courses online, faculty find themselves struggling with how to transfer difficult concepts once taught in the traditional classroom to the online environment. This session will focus on how faculty can use technology to create learning objects that are based on instructional design principles, are purposeful, interactive, and still teach core concepts.
