During the 8 week online portion learners will be actively integrating student-centred strategies into their classes and getting student feedback that is shared back with the community.

Not a UdG Faculty Member and Would Like to Participate?
Although this site has been created for the UdG program faculty, it is an open site for anybody to reuse, remix, and follow along. The program is structured around Studios and Challenges that you complete in order to advance your learning.
A key part of this program is sharing your completed challenges by submitting it to the Agora site. You can also remix and create challenges and submit them to the site.
