Micro Tech Talks
Session Recordings and Resource Links
The Online Learning and Academic Partnerships team presents regularly scheduled 15-minute micro sessions to share one educational technology topic at a time, along with the pedagogy / andragogy that informs our choice to use it, or not. Attendees have the opportunity to spend an additional 15 minutes asking questions and try the tools themselves.
Below you will find recordings and resources emailed to attendees following the sessions.
