Improving Student Learning through Teaching as Research Projects

Please join us as we connect virtually with other campuses in the CIRTL Network to share ideas about teaching and learning in the STEM disciplines. We will be using Elluminate Software. CU Boulder students will join us in 200 ATLAS and be able to communicate with students and presenters from other campuses. This is your chance to join the cutting edge of teaching with technology. All workshops count toward GTP Certificates. OK to arrive early for technology set up.
