Winter 2024 Workshops

TRU’s Learning Technology & Innovation team doesn’t think of online media for teaching as a series of buttons to push, or tools to use. In addition to the tech, we are always pushing ourselves to learn new ways to use the tools creatively and in ways that align with our teaching and learning needs. We invite you to explore the offerings below and hope at least some of what we are doing aligns with your interests and your needs.

Upcoming Workshops

A calendar view of upcoming sessions and brief descriptions of what we offer are provided below. In addition to our hosted sessions, we are always happy to set-up targeted workshops and training for you and your colleagues wherever is best. And if you have a learning technology interest or need that is not addressed here, please drop us a line and let’s start a conversation.
