Training
We run a series of weekly workshops focusing on the intersections of computer-mediated language pedagogy and applied linguistics, where we investigate creative and thoughtful application of technology in a language classroom. Spring 2018 workshops are offered every Wednesday and Thursday between 2.30pm and 3.30pm in IAB / LRC 253.
In addition to the workshops we also offer class demos and one-on-one tutorial sessions with faculty in areas of designing, developing and using multimedia elements as well as in using the technology tools mentioned on this site. In-person training is a great way to take advantage of our collaborative learning space and multimedia studio, as well as the various electronic classrooms available at the LRC.
