Instructional Technology Coaching

“Create a learning experience.”

 

Learn how to use technology to engage students across modalities.

A Learning Experience

Instructors retain students by creating an environment which stimulates curiosity and promotes collaboration. While students may not take time to attend a lecture, they will make time to engage in a new experience.

Dynamic course design and innovative activities help students develop competitive, creative, and rhetorical skills. Move students out of their comfort zones by teaching them to use technology in meaningful ways.
