Start the conversation and get engaged with new technologies.  The Summer 2008 workshops for faculty are designed to provide new ideas for revamping your current courses or designing a new course.  Technologies are fluid and it is difficult to keep abreast of new trends and new ideas.  Summer is a good time to learn what's new and how it could fit into your curriculum.

Summer 2008 Workshops are packaged with new technologies that you can use as teaching and learning tools. Register for Summer workshop packages on the Technology Training website.
