Online via Blackbaord Collaborate
The conference focus is online course design and (re)design. There will be tracks for new faculty and faculty with eLearning experience. All online course design will incorporate using Blackboard Learn, eWolf ePortfolio, and other supported academic technologies.
The makerspace-like guided course design labs scheduled throughout the conference are designed to make sure that all participants leave with tangible and usable course components and a roadmap for design completion. Join us in person or virtually over Blackboard Collaborate.
This year the conference will be held Sunday, August 21st though Tuesday, August 23rd to provide a flexible schedule and more work time with designers.
Adjunct faculty who are teaching online are also encouraged to participate in this free faculty professional development and course design opportunity.

You can also view different screen-casting tools to use for capturing lectures to post into online environments like Blackboard. Additionally some new fun teaching technologies will be available to check out. For new to online faculty there will be instructional designers available to guide you through initial course set up to get you prepared for the first day of classes.
