Our annual Summer Institute showcases best practices on how to implement effective instructional strategies, facilitate learner-centered interaction and collaboration, and create objective-oriented assessments to enhance teaching and learning. Last year, in a completely online environment via Zoom and Canvas, faculty members shared effective teaching strategies, while presenting examples of their courses. Faculty also reflected on how they transitioned their courses online over the past year.
