USM OnTrack will be offering two additional free professional development workshops this month that will explore the ways adaptive learning tools can support online learning, particularly in high-enrollment (large lecture, multi-section) courses.

As described below, the first workshop is geared towards course coordinators and other decision makers who oversee these high-enrollment courses and the second is primarily for faculty teaching these courses. Both workshops, hosted with partners at Lumen Learning, are designed to provide these audiences with practical solutions to immediate problems while also exposing them to the tools, services, and support that are freely available through OnTrack.
