Laulima Basics workshop 11/10 @ 12:00

There will be a Laulima basics workshop next Wednesday, 11/10 from 12:00 to 1:00 in the computer lab in LRC 124. The workshop is meant for people with limited to no experience with Laulima, and will cover the use of common tools such as discussion, quizzes and the gradebook, and will focus on how to use Laulima to increase communication with students.

Let me know if there is something specific you would like me to cover, and I will prepare that for the session.

I am also planning an advanced session on how to customize Laulima- details will follow once arrangements have been made.
