Faculty Show and Share Series in the CET

Faculty Show and Share  is an informal discussion series in the Center for Educational Technology.  Each session will feature a guest faculty member who shows how they've used a particular technology to address a learning goal.  Minimal preparation is required because you just have to show, share, and discuss what you've done.   Any instructor is encouraged to attend whether or not they are experienced with technology or not. There will be ample time for discussion of the teaching goals and/or the technology. Click on the CET Calendar to register.

Upcoming Faculty Show and Share sessions schedule:

• Wednesday, April 25, 3:00 pm - 4:45 pm. Perspectives in Online Teaching Panel. Job 161. Registration is appreciated.
