Customized Training

Online Learning also offers the opportunity for 1-to-1 or small group training with our staff on request. We provide training to faculty and staff on our supported technologies, as well as providing instructional design assistance on using online resources effectively.

If you are a student in an online learning course, please refer to the Online Learning Student Community in myCourses for documentation and tutorials.

Online Learning offers training for faculty in a variety of forms. These are the types of trainings events offered:

  • Group Training: These events take place in the TLT Lab and are focused on the course management system, myCourses. You can register ahead of time for these events.
  • Webinars: These events take place through the web conferencing tool, Connect. There is no need to register for these events.
  • Events: These events are special events that may not focus specifically on training for an instructional technology, but may be a discussion of best practices or a small gathering of faculty.

For events requiring registration (Webinars do not require registration), registration is open until four hours prior to the start date and time. Please make sure to register early.
