Full course description
While new technologies can open up exciting new possibilities for online learning, figuring out which tools are right for your teaching and how best to implement them can create a lot of friction. In this Sprint mini-course, you will start by reviewing general best practices for making tech decisions that best fit your context, your learning goals, and your students. You can then complete one or more tool-specific modules of your choice, each one focusing on a different tool that is available to you as a member of the University of Missouri System. In these modules, you will explore tool best practices, try out possible ways to implement the tool for your online classroom, and experiment with it from the student perspective.
