Events, Videos, & Professional Development
Learning about instructional strategies and technologies is never-ending. To help the Western teaching community strengthen our repertoire, ATUS and CII share professional development offerings each term, most often in the form of regularly-released videos about current technologies and instructional strategies.
For past recordings, see the CII-ATUS ProDev course in Canvas (see below). For software training in Office and Adobe products, go to the HR Learning Library and search for "Student Technology Center."
We welcome one-on-one trainings and consultations via our CII staff. See also: How to Get Help
