Summer Institute 2023
18 professional development sessions derived from faculty feedback
We heard you!
The eLearning staff has reflected on feedback from faculty who have taken OETA evaluation surveys as well as from instructors we work with in the eLearning support space. Based on your feedback and popular request, we have put together a series of exciting and informative workshops that will help you take your courses to the next level. The sessions are completely online, so you can join and learn from the comfort of your home. Participants will earn 10 PD hours and a $200 stipend after attending the Summer Institute and completing the requirements for each session attended.
