NOTE: This workshop series will be focused predominantly on design, instructional practices, and effective
implementation of instructional technologies. Although no one is expected to know all of the technologies
listed above, a familiarity with many or most will be an advantage. All are encouraged to allocate time to
strengthening technology skills in preparation for the start of the workshop series. Those with less
experience and fewer skills with various technologies should expect to spend additional time honing those
skills in addition to the time allocated to course redesign.
