In this closing session we will identify key opportunities to infuse educational technology into all of our courses in new and innovative ways. Drawing on key educational concepts, educational technology solutions available, and a network of amazing peers, everyone in the session will identify actionable ways that teaching may be augmented. Whether it is providing similar educational experiences with less effort, or enhanced educational opportunities for students with little additional effort, it is time to plan our next steps to moving higher education forward.
