[ED-TECH] Teaching Online for Beginners, May 11 - June 27

Ed-Tech mailing list members,

The Teaching, Learning, Technology Group will be running an online course/experience (FREE!) for people who are thinking of teaching online, or moving some of their course experience online. These are not people with "the answers" but, rather, people who are investigating the subject. I have enjoyed working with the leaders since 1994, so I am hoping this will be another valuable experience. The event begins on May 11 and runs through June 27. Since it is all online, and participants are not locked into the exact schedule, it can fit into almost anyone's summer schedule. A wonderful "Professional Development" opportunity related to teaching.

Watch the video at http://youtu.be/npnsylFUTjY for an introduction. Go to http://tltgroup.roundtablelive.org/events?eventId=841363&EventViewMode=EventDetails for more details, the schedule, and a button to register (FREE!) for this event.

I will be signing up for the series. I hope to see many of you online.
