DELTA Offers Short Summer Courses

DELTA will be providing various training opportunities during the week of May 14-18, from 8:45 a.m. to noon each day in the D.H. Hill Library.

Other offerings will cover topics including:

Attend a luncheon with guest speakers Melissa Hart (Poole College of Management) and Diane Chapman (College of Education) from noon until 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 16, in the Faculty Senate room. They will share their experiences—the good and the not-so-good—with integrating technology into their courses.

This is not a certificate program and there is no required application process to participate. At Summer Shorts, participants can attend as many or as few workshops and seminars that they find spark their interest or meet their needs. Attendees will find many opportunities in which to start, update or advance their knowledge of learning technologies and pedagogical strategies.

Registration is now open and will continue throughout the Summer Shorts week, on a first come, first served basis. So register early. DELTA workshops and seminars are available to all NC State faculty, staff and graduate students free of charge.
