EXCELLENCE & INNOVATION
Date: Tuesday, September 17th, 2024
Time: 3:30-5:00pm (AT) / 2:30-4:00pm (ET) / 11:30-1:00pm (PT)
Session Description:
Spend this time working through some of the key features and tools in Brightspace that can engage and humanize the online learning space, including Announcements, Discussions, and creating groups. We will talk about how to prioritize relationships with students and work creatively with these options. We will spend our time watching a demonstration, trying a few things out on our own and coming back to community with questions and learning points.
Please note: While the focus of these trainings is on TFSO launching in Brightspace for Fall 2024, any and all interested faculty and instructors across YU + TFS are more than welcome to register and join us for these sessions in advance of their own courses moving to Brightspace.
