Teaching Online on Short Notice


A webinar presentation by Dr. Greg Wilson

Live on March 19th, at 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT

Abstract

So here you are: you planned to teach your class or deliver your workshop in person, and now you have to do it online or not at all.

Nobody is giving you time or money to make the change, and a hundred other things also need your attention. Where should you start, and what can you realistically hope to achieve? This one-hour webinar will present answers from people who have found themselves in this situation before, and will recommend a handful of techniques that you can apply right away.
