Now for the tips:

Teaching:

Interested in creating a discussion board, but don’t know where to begin? Start with this video series from ETS that details how to create discussion boards on Note Bowl. And don’t forget the many other resources available from ETS this summer.

Tidbit:

Let’s consider teaching modalities for the fall: in-person, remote, mixture. This resource from Dr. Julie Sievers at Southwestern University Teaching Center lays out several possible scenarios for the fall. Interested in discussing various options with others? Please sign up here by Friday, 7/17, for virtual CfLT sessions next week to discuss possible teaching modalities for our fall classes.
