CID Team Workshop Series

This workshop and webinar series created by the Curriculum and Instructional Design (CID) team aims to help meet one of the College's highest priorities: student retention. This workshop series is based on current research, and you will practice the skills you learn with real-life examples and situations. Our hope is to provide you with practical materials, fresh ideas and constructive skills to use in your design practice.

In the academic year 2014/15, the series had two tracks. The Online Teaching Workshops were intended for adjunct instructors. The Course Development Workshops targeted course developers and anyone curious about online course design. The recorded webinars are listed in their own sections on this page.

In the academic year 2015/16, the series contains webinars for course developers and faculty designing their courses.
