CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Educators quickly responded to challenges related to the ongoing pandemic. What have we learned? What do students say? Have their voices been heard? What trends and issues emerged, especially for quality online and blended learning? How sustainable are these emerging practices? What happens as we continue going forward?
TCC Hawaii invites faculty, support professionals, librarians, counselors, student affairs professionals, graduate students, administrators, and consultants interested in learning technologies and evolving practices to submit proposals for online presentations.
