Workshops & Webinars
The Department of Online Education and Support offers webinars for faculty on various topics related to achieving excellence in the online classroom. These fully online webinars are facilitated by DOES staff and most feature insights from a faculty co-host with expertise on the topic. Each webinar consists of the pedagogical “Why" as well as the practical “How”. At the end of each webinar, time is allotted for attendees to comment, share their views, and ask questions of all webinar presenters. These webinars are conveniently delivered online and are easily accessed from a desktop, phone, or tablet.
The DOES Blackboard Support Team hosts the "Blackboard How-To Webinar Series" every Wednesday at 2:00 p.m. Each session is a review of a specific functionality you need to build your Blackboard course site. Check your email for an announcement and link to the weekly webinar.
