Welcome to the Instructional Skills Workshop Online or ISWO.
- Please check the schedule at the top of the course and refer to it as a guide throughout the course. You may even want to print it out and put it up in your office or workspace.
- Weeks 2 through 4 will be revealed in the next few days, but for now please focus your attention on week 1, particularly getting familiar with navigating Moodle and the readings.
- Office hours are located at the top of the course. Facilitators will be active most days of the course (4:00-600pm), but may be reached through email or by sending requests through Moodle for a Skype or Blackboard session.
