From the fundamentals of course organization to efficient grading techniques, this introductory session equipped participants with CourseWorks tools for teaching in changing modalities.
On Thursday, September 1 from 11am-12:15pm, the CEP offered a hands-on "Teaching Modularly in CourseWorks" virtual session, where CEP staff described the benefits of modular teaching and learning, which enables flexible course design for changing teaching modalities.
