Thank
you to each and every professor who attended the DEN Faculty
Forum on April 2nd and 3rd! The turnout was excellent and
your feedback was very positive! This is the first year that
we have webcast the Faculty Forum so that those who cannot
attend can still benefit from the presentations.
The primary
goal of hosting Faculty Forums is to allow your fellow colleagues
an opportunity to share with you their best practices for
online learning. It is also a venue to showcase uses of new
technologies in the classroom. I am very proud to say that
this year's Faculty Forum was a great success and I would
like to offer special thanks to our presenters.
Please
take some time to watch the presentations and demonstrations
