When teaching during times of disruption, educators need to be creative and flexible in how they support students in achieving essential course learning objectives. During this free one-hour webinar, Achieving the Dream will share strategies to help you and your students rapidly move your teaching and learning online. We’ll address common challenges such as how to stay connected to your students, foster collaboration, find low tech solutions when online is not an option, and find digital activities and assignments on the fly. Online teaching experts and instructional designers from ATD network colleges will share their expertise and emerging ideas. There will be time reserved to connect with other colleges, share creative solutions, and hear what your greatest needs are and how ATD can help.
