Presentation Description: 

Online learning environments are often considered through a lens of skepticism. Some people believe it is impossible for these classes to be as robust as traditional face to face offerings. Others assume that online instructors are taking an “easy approach” to teaching. This webinar shares ideas for developing and delivering dynamic content that encourages student engagement in the virtual classroom.
