CE 6 Training
Who
Educational Technology Services conducts CE 6 workshops for faculty, teaching
assistants and staff in the design and development of courses and the effective
use of online tools to facilitate teaching and learning. Participation is open
to any member of the Florida International instructional community.
How
The CE 6 workshops listed below are offered in both face-to-face and fully
online formats. Face-to-face workshops are 2 hours long. Online workshops are
estimated to take from 2-4 hours to complete. In both formats, participants
acquire CE 6 knowledge and skills and then apply the knowledge and skills in
hands-on activities and exercises within a course. Both face-to-face and online
workshops are facilitated by a professional trainer.
