After a year of remote teaching, summer is the perfect time lie on the beach and read a good book. It’s also a great time to reconnect with your colleagues, share online and remote student engagement tips, use the work time to update course elements, and learn new tools. Whether you barely made it through the switch to online and remote instruction this past year or you tackled it like a pro, the Summer Institute provides opportunities to reflect on what went well and what can be improved upon. Time: 8:30 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.
