Lunch & Learn Sessions

CODL hosts faculty sessions focusing on ideas, issues, and resources for online and hybrid learning.  We hope you will join us for these campus discussion opportunities.  If not, video versions will be available following most sessions.
 
Fall 2014 L&L events will begin in September 2014. The new schedule will be posted soon.
 
Our last L&L event was Wednesday, May 7, 2014.
Mary Banwart, Associate Professor, Communication Studies, presented, "What I've Learned Teaching A Large Online Class." Professor Banwart shared "lessons learned" and strategies in taking a traditional large lecture course online. Click here for the Powerpoint slideshow (ppt).
