May SLATE Meeting ANNOUNCEMENT

Making Courses Responsive to both Device and Student Preference

Come join this open discussion as we first focus on the technology “behind the scenes” of students knowing their device and different mechanisms and ways to support it. And then the discussion will move to how we involve students in the process and give them the ability to choose how they access content such as; graphics, video, downloading content to audio clip, etc.
