“
In the new Instructional Tools and Activities course you can expect a very dynamic, interactive and hands-on class. Not only will you be exposed to tools, techniques and exercises that support learner engagement – you’ll facilitate these activities and receive feedback from your peers, as well as learn to assess what activities to use, when. My hope is that learners will leave inspired by an array of possibilities that can better support their instructional practice.
