Dear 3CSN Wayfinding Community,
We hope you are continuing to take care of yourselves and are staying connected.
Many of you asked for a space to practice integrating the tools and techniques to support virtual learning. In response, this week we are introducing 90-minute “Learn and Practice” sessions that include opportunities for learning, practice, and reflection in community with colleagues across the state.
To further this work, we will be offering a new 4-part Design Lab Series in July. These free sessions will provide an opportunity to delve more deeply into course and program design work as we prepare for fall semester. Registration is coming soon!
We look forward to being back online with you all as we continue charting a course together.
