Thought of moving some of your teaching online but don't know where to start? We've planned two half days over the break to introduce you to some of the possibilities. Faculty from around campus have been invited to show you what they are doing online. There will also be support staff to give you a sense of what services you can use to help you get started. The sessions will take place from 1:00-4:30 pm on February 19 and 9:00 am- 12:30 pm on the morning of February 20. The sessions will be held in McDougall Hall 328 with light refreshments provided. There is no cost for the sessions, but faculty are invited to register with the Centre for Life-Long Learning via email Lisa Mackinnon-Laybolt at lmmackinnon@upei.ca We also want to make it clear that the session is divided in two parts and are both meant to be attended.
