Summer 2020 Instructional Technology Training

PDC Staff will be running a series of required trainings this summer to increase your skills for and confidence in delivering remote instruction. Most instructors will need to participate in all training opportunities and will receive a stipend of $150. (If you do not need to participate in them all, your Program Development Manager will notify you.)

If you're unable to attend any of these trainings, please email Saralyn Smith (smithpdc@uw.edu). You'll need to watch a recording of the training(s) you miss and complete a short follow-up.
