Faculty Resources
As technology becomes a more important and refined tool in our world, we want to educate faculty on how they can use it to enhance their language teaching. We created these Tech Tips and Tutorials in an effort to give faculty ideas and summaries of various online resources. These range from creating multimodal online learning environments to note-taking to storytelling.
