Who: Participants in the Summer Institute for Instructional Technology and Interested Faculty and Advisers

Where: Google Hangouts On Air

Want to talk online teaching with other faculty and advisers? Don’t have the time to leave your house to do so? Or is your house nowhere close to the EOU campus?

You are in luck! In honor of National Distance Learning Week (November 5-9), the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment will sponsor two Google Hangouts on Air. Participants from the EOU Summer Institute for Instructional Technology will join interested faculty and advisers online in Google Hangouts to discuss best practices for teaching online.

There are three ways you can access these Hangouts:

1) As a participant. If you want to join the conversation on Hangouts, contact Heidi Harris (hharris@eou.edu) to arrange to join the Hangout. (Hangout participation is limited, so please contact Heidi ASAP if you would like a seat online).

2) As an observer. You can access the link to watch participants discuss in real time during the times above. As an observer, you can send in questions via Google Chat for the participants to discuss during the chat.

3) After the Hangout ends. If these times don’t work with your schedule, you can access the recorded conversation at any time through the CTLA website.
