This workshop combines 2 synchronous sessions with additional self-paced activities. You will spend time live, online learning how to use advanced techniques to add more interactivity to your asynchronous e-learning courses. Also, 1 to 2 hours will be required for pre-course work and intersession assignments.

Maximum Class Size: 15 participants (We limit class size to ensure maximum value and participation for our clients.)
