Description

Faculty who are interested in either teaching or holding meetings online will be interested in this session where we will train you in best practices when using video conferencing software and hardware. This hands-on session will demonstrate how to schedule meetings and class times, prepare for meetings in advance, and explore the tools that are available to you as an instructor.
