Webinar Series:
Online Teaching & Learning Through Disruption

In situations like those we are facing now, educators are looking for ways to be creative and flexible in how they support students in achieving essential course learning objectives. 

Over the next four weeks, beginning Wednesday, March 25 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern, ATD will present a series of webinars focused on supporting faculty, staff, and students during this unprecedented time.

Our first webinar, Strategies for Rapidly Moving Online, will help you and your students rapidly move your teaching and learning online.
